Below the thunders of the upper deep;
Far, far beneath in the abysmal sea,
His ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep
The Kraken sleepeth: faintest sunlights flee
About his shadowy sides: above him swell
Huge sponges of millennial growth and height;
And far away into the sickly light,
From many a wondrous grot and secret cell
Unnumbered and enormous polypi
Winnow with giant arms the slumbering green.
There hath he lain for ages and will lie
Battening upon huge sea-worms in his sleep,
Until the latter fire shall heat the deep;
Then once by man and angels to be seen,
In roaring he shall rise and on the surface die
(lord alfred Tennyson, the kraken)

You may or may not be aware, that today is Air Kraken day and the skies are not SAFE. Fly your dirigible under advisement!

I'm sorry I couldn't have had a more finished piece for this holy day in the steampunk calendar, but such is life. Found a new concept art tutorial and I wanted to try out some of it's techniques, and the sky kraken seemed like a good subject. I also wanted to write a version of the tennyson poem to be more appropriate to a sky kraken (I know it should be air kraken, but I like sky kraken better. it just rolls off the tongue...), but I didn't do that either. Oh well!

Happy Air Kraken DAY!

Amen to the sky/air kraken-ness.

Including these in my fantasy world, which inspired me to do a DA search...

hehe. thanks for the fav!

the mighty sky kraken really deserves something better than this silly doodle, I hope to revisit it (maybe, eventually).

I'm glad they're making their way into other worlds though :)
