Description

The Mothman was a supernatural creature that, according to accounts, terrorrized a small town in the Midwest ( I forget where exactly). Many thought it was a harbinger of doom, since after making many appearences, a nearby bridge collapsed for no known reason. It was made into a pretty good movie with Richard Gere. Very spooky! But I was pissed off because the movie never gave you a decent look at the monster. So I decided to draw him myself.

Oh, by the way, I know this thing looks absolutely nothing like a moth, I'm just going on the "eyewitness" accounts.

EDIT: :iconcarpenocturne:, a self-proclaimed "Mothman Geek", just gave me some nifty input about this here dude:

Mothman was reportedly seen in the early 60's, (1966 to be exact) in Point Pleasant, West Virginia. The whole Harbinger of death theory is very odd, because sometime in Germany, a thing similar in appearance was seen outside of a mine and It wouldn't let anyone in. After hearing a loud explosion noise from inside the mine, the creature flew off. Upon entering, the Miner's found that the Mine had collapsed.

I love your interpetation. Mothman is so varied in the reports and you seem to take an interesting take on it. The top one is da bomb. Well done!
