Day 15: The Questing Beast

Well Hoi there!
If you remember, we sketched King Pellinore a couple of days ago, the guy who hunts the Questing Beast.  I was thinking about what to sketch for today, and I realised, I should draw the bloody Questing Beast!

The Beast was born of a human woman; a princess who slept with a devil and gave birth to the abomination.

The strange creature has the head and neck of a snake, the body of a leopard, the haunches of a lion, and the feet of a deer.  Its name comes from the great noise that it emits from its belly, a barking like "thirty couple hounds questing".

Pellinore never manages to slay the beast, but Sir Palamedes then takes up the task and finally kills it during the Grail Quest.

I may take it’s design further and make a few tweaks, but I’m happy enough with the sketch!
