“Paint Mothman, but make him as unthreatening as possible.” that was the brief I set myself. Not particularly the easiest thing to do with a big black creature with red eyes.
I have always envisioned Mothman to be a giant black owl (with no visible beak) rather than a humanoid. It also fits with the eyewitness depictions of Mothman without a neck, as owls puff themselves up when they feel threatened, giving the appearance of no neck. This portrait does show his neck, as if he was just startled (by some snotty wood walker with a yapping dog) and is thinking “The fuck is that?! I was snoozing!”
Mainly done in ArtRage, but switched into Photoshop for the detailed parts and colour alterations.
-- Original Sketch ... what was I thinking with those 'whiskers' and antennae?
