31 Monsters In 31 Days: Day 1 Chupacabra

CHUPACABRA! The goat sucker as he is also known seems to appear as many different versions when doing a search for Chupacabra images on the internet. He is often a grey or black hairless dog looking beast but many versions show him as a green alien type creature with large black eyes and some sort of dorsal fins running down his back. The Chupacabra has been often sited in Mexico and the United States and is a really fun name for a monster.

In my drawing I decided to combine all of what I could find about the creature and created this Chupacabra for all of you to enjoy. He's part dog, part alien and all goat sucker. I also have added two of the quick sketches that I did because I really like them and originally had planned to do a complete body shot. The colors are a combination of Prismacolor Markers and Copic Markers.

Watch out the Chupacabra is gonna get you,
