What is a Monster?

Monsters are often found in fairy tales or which are told by parents to their children. Monsters are creatures that have a deviated form from the usual or can also be called a frightening giant.

In most stories, monsters are often portrayed as creatures with evil characters. along with the development of modern times there are people who say it as a stupid creature.

In ancient times, people believed that monster creatures inhabited wild islands that had not been touched by anyone. and monsters were once important social concepts between relationships and the limitations of human knowledge, this important concept occurred during the Renaissance and enlightenment. many types of monsters are explained by the concept of fantasy and inspiration from the human mind itself. like a dragon in Chinese folklore and "Geunteut" in the lives of the people of Aceh.

Geunteut is a magical creature that looks like a ghost or genie that is believed by some Acehnese people until now, its characteristics are like a demon, which has a eye pattern like a cat's eyes, thin ears pointing up like a wolf, with a height of more than 20 meters.

According to people's stories that Geunteut likes to target people who return home or travel shortly before sunset, most of the people who are victims of this Geunteut monster are transported on tall trees, or abducted on a road that has never been crossed before, others are placed in public cemeteries. there are even people who are victims claiming to be placed among a collection of bamboo clumps by these monster creatures.

For my content this time in the shadow of a scary monster, I still chose a thick-scaled dragon with a long tongue sticking out. in spite of my previous fiction. because I'm still inspired by dragons from fiction films or awesome novels.

Here I have prepared some pictures using a blue ink pen and oil paint. I hope you like my art, even though I'm not a professional artist.

Thanks So Much
