Nicx the Devil

This is 1 of 3 examples I am doing for a tutorial sheet on my ‘Splice’ technique. It’s basically a random ‘name-out-of-the-hat’ method to create unexpected paintings. I got 'Dragon-Deformed-Black and White Sketch' for this one.

“Deformed Dragon, that sounds a lot like my character Nicx!” I thought,
Nicx is the title character and villain of a plan sequel to a story I am writing. She is the unfortunate result of intense inbreeding between the Vitis Dragons of the dark islands of Pélé, where the aristocracy have hunted them to near extinction. The Vitis Dragons use their two pairs of ‘tentacles’ to grab, strangled and hold onto prey.
