I can feel it coming in the air tonight

This song gives me such an intense, electric feeling; to me the 'coming in the air' is a storm.
I really loved how this ended up, it captured what I felt exactly how I wanted it, and I got to play around more with the shade/lighting effects because I only sketched it instead of lining.
This is the first time I've drawn this character, and I've fallen in love with it all over again. It was a bloody nightmare trying to figure out what the colors were because it's so complex and had so many gradients, but it is such an incredibly beautiful creature.

I started off drawing the clouds using this tutorial, which I found very useful for drawing a stormy sky  
Used this for the rain: 

It is called Summanus, an ancient god of storms and lightning, originating from Roman Mythology. Often on especially stormy nights with intense thunder it will wander through the clouds, playing with lightning and roaring in joy (which gets mistaken as thunder). It is rarely seen through the pouring rain and flashing clouds, but the few who have throughout history have ended up becoming great Philosophers, Scientists, and Scholars who made it their purpose in life to study the process of storms or electricity.


If I start offering sketch commissions like this, would anyone actually get one? As in, would anyone be willing to buy one for $5-15 without having to save up or wait till your next paycheck or something?



Summanus was created by Sheylu, and one very interesting fact I discovered about Axolotls, which this design was based off, is that the 'xolotl' in 'Axolotl' comes from the Aztec god of Lightning and Death, Xolotl (was that on purpose? OoO ).
