Description
A, er, Hippoturtleox (that felt strange to type). Inspired by some old cryptozoology books I was reading. To quote the book itself:
'' In September 1984, the Associated Press published a story about the capture in 1972 of an extraordinary Animal said to have lived in Lake Duobuzhe, Tibet. Superficially, it resembled an ox, but it had short curly horns, hippopotamus-like skin, and turtle-like legs. Allegedly, Chinese Soldiers shot at the creature, bayoneted it, then dragged the carcass to a nearby village. Since the carcass has never been found, it's identity - if the report is true - is likely to remain a mystery."
I think AmericanMonsters.Com had an article on this guy, but the site was taken down...a shame, since it had some rather good articles.
Even if this...''Hippoturtleox'' does not exist, 'twas fun to draw anyway. Although Cows/Oxen are...not my favorite thing to draw.
