Sazae-Oni

This creature, known as the sazae-oni, comes from Japanese mythology and is half woman half mollusk with a big shell. It facinated me so much that I decided to paint the creature and I must say it came out really well and I'm quit pleased with it. It's not often I feel this pleased with my paintings so this is a real treat.
