Artist's Comments

Hydra is a monster in Greek mythology known to have 7 or 9 heads. If a head was cut off, two grew back in its place. The head in the middle was immortal.

:iconmadottsel: and I were having a conversation about Hydra, so I thought I'd try to draw it. It's rather difficult with so many heads. And there are so many variations of Hydra, from having wings to only having three heads. I guess it doesn't matter, as long as it is a serpent-like creature with more than one head.

This is a water/land Hydra; it has fins to help it travel in water and a body that would support it on land.

I'll color this... Someday.

Hydra doesn't belong to me, just to let you know. :P

I love hydras. I remember first seeing one in Hercules. And it's been one of my favorite mythological creatures ever since. :)

You were VERY brave to attempt nine heads, and you've pulled it off nicely =D, I LOVE IT!!

I like the fins ^^.

Normal.....what is normal?, normal is merely statistical, if 9 out of 10 people act a certain way THATS normal..

I don't have the attention span to draw more than four heads..

Do you know what's scarier than an Otaku?

Scary stuff.

:wow: You really did the heads very nicely!!! I need to try drawing a hydra... I've drawn wyverns, dragons, and phoenix... BUT NO HYDRA!!! I'll draw one...

Just one thing that doesn't look quite right to me is the fins. It looks like a water hydra :rofl: but that's just me..
