Artist's Comments

wax-oil crayons (background in Paintshop Pro) 2006,
Primitive aboriginal witnessing a wrestling match of two male Megalania prisca.

Megalania was a very big varanid lizard, somewhat similar to modern day Komodo dragon, but measuring from 5 to maybe 7 metres in length. Megalania went extinct AFTER the first humans had reached and settled in Australia. Meaning that the first Australians probably encountered them. One can only imagine what it might have been like...

Wow, very interesting. I like the composition and colors. Excellent work and keep it up (^-^)!
:iconpatriatyrannus:
Thank u :) This was originally ment to have a background too, but then I decided to focus on the lizards...
:iconmarip:
Looks awesome to me, once again. :) It must have been scary for the first Australians to encounter those huge lizards... Expect if that was the first sight of the lizards. I mean, it kind of looks like they're hugging each others. To me it looks like that, yesh... but I've always been rather odd.

Wou wou wou!! Todella hieno työ jälleen! Liskot näyttävät todella realistisilta ja aboriginaali on hauska tuossa etualalla. taivas on ehkä liiankin tasaisen värinen.

Thanks... The idea of "wrestling" or "hugging" (you said that) is based on the photos and film material of Komodo dragons fighting. So I think it`s realistic.
:iconpatriatyrannus:
Oikeassa oot, pitää kattoo mitä asialle vois tehdä...
:iconmarip:
It weird how fighting can look so cute! I have no doubts about it being realistic, of course.
