The Beast Out of the Sea

The Seven Headed Beast of Revelations!

I’ve been itching to do this guy forever but in the early days I worried I’d scare some folks away what with the whole making an image of the beast, gives power to the beast, which in theory, repeated enough times, should eventually end the world thing…. but now I know you as a battle hardened group of beast draw-ers, who I’d gather, if you gotta go, would prefer to go out drawing… So lets make some world ending beasts images!

Here’s what the ol’ book has to say
And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name. The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority. One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast.

Now there are a zillion resources that will explain this aspect or that aspect what it represents and give subtle variations, but essentially know this, you are drawing the devil! I won’t sugar coat it, but you certainly allowed to in your drawings, have fun with it, that’s what we do and for f*cks sake if you claim to have a metal bone in your body, you best be drawing this time around or you are officially a pussy!

judgement Is Complete

our judgeOur judge for Battle Beast Out of the Sea is Clint who is the owner of Organized Crime Records and Crime Scene Merchandise. I first worked with Clint something silly like 17 years ago, and I recently reached out to him about our merch. I’m glad to say he’s still one hell of a stand up guy and can help rip out a damn fine Mythical Beast Wars t shirt in almost no time flat!

The First Place Beast Out of the Entry

Yes! Dear lawyers of the beast, please move along, nothing to see here… well unless you wanna talk about how bad ass our artist made your boss look… then you’re free to hang… Also I could be wrong but I’m gonna gamble that, that there is the mightiest paw we’ve ever seen in these parts!

Judge’s Commentary – First Place! “The Beast Of Buffering” aka “The Beast Of Torturous Customer Service” G Brookens has truly had a vision of the end of times. Based on all the theories the Devil/Anti-Christ will ingrain himself into society to destroy it. I feel that Comcast can really get us to Armageddon. Anyone just has to
spend time waiting on hold and/or talking to their customer support to know they are the embodiment of pure evil. It all makes perfect sense now. We have seen the face of the Beast and they will charge you $8 monthly modem fees just to be an extra evil douche.

The Second Place Beast Out of the Sea Entry

Oooh! So I think you’re saying education, like a virus, slowly separates the mind of man from the simplistic views of beasts of land and monolithic theologies like so much wheat and chaff… but if we really want to be free we need to dance untethered by boundaries but together with one purpose… interesting… Also isn’t this the moral of “Footloose?” haha!

Judge’s Commentary – I love the take of E Smith that of the Devil as a virus. I picture this virus coming out to a pimp theme song with full production that is a combination of the “Ooogie Boogie theme” and the “Pinball Song” from the Electric Company. All style and flash but some mold on cheese will be its downfall.

The Third Place Beast Out of the Entry

I’m pretty sure this screams “I like Muppets, Wizards and Danzig!”

Judge’s Commentary: – Back in high school I thought Danzig was the best and would have been my first choice. Now years later while I like Danzig, you see that he is a bit silly and hard to take him seriously now. The monster that is past his prime and the new young monsters make fun of. Poor Danzig Muppet. No one thinks you are evil anymore just cute and funny like Rowlf the Dog.

Man not sure if you guys felt that… but pretty sure the whole world just got a little colder! Good bad ass “fatal wound that was healed” face scarring! And I’m liking that his spots look like festive individually drawn poops!

It’s funny how something made from that many cats, oh… and lets not forget forged from the depths of evil itself, can still feel so much like Odie! Nice Seuss-ical “horns” and I will never tire of those two toed feet!

Now I could be entirely wrong but I’m pretty sure that at least two if not more of those heads are madballs (for our judge I mean the toy madballs not madball madballs) and is he about to self inflict his wound? That seems like a poor idea!

So never mind the beautiful tree of “Sean’s” springing from this guy’s neck… Cause is he really wearing a v-necked and 3/4 sleeved sweater with a pentagram emblazoned on its belly? Or is it just the crazy levels of evil distorting my perceptions?

Seriously how cute is this? Get it? The whole world is following the beast! Look at those lil worldly feets and our beast kinda prances… on a sadder note doesn’t it sorta look like the one head is looking back saying “Go away world… we never loved you!”

So I already know this artist originated from Cleveland, and she and I have already discussed her youthful obsession with a certain artist who’s releases are now part of our judge’s discography… so I’m pretty damn sure I get it… and that dead dangling cat made me laugh… silly Ohio ๐Ÿ˜‰

Haha, to steal a page from the Thug Kitchen commentary stylings, That looks magical as F*ck! How great is it that the eye patch works both as a wound that was healed and as a signifier of great evil! And are doodled bad teeth ever not great?

Ooh! Good surreal batch of heads! My fave is the one on far left that looks a lil hippo and a lil sock puppet, But that cyclops alien cow is a close second! And while the perspective may trouble those of you not willing to admit that other worldly monsters may walk differently then us… That’s a great prowl!

In my best Monty Python royal voice – “heeeellooooooo! Heeelloooo! heeeelllOOO!” haha, that really is a kinda fantastic lion’s maw and is it my imagination or does your devil beast sit a lot like a pug?
