Zouwu
2018
http://ivanbelikov.com/portfolio/zouwu
The tribute to the second part of the Fantastic Beasts series and one of the most memorable creatures.
The Zouwu is a monstrously large feline beast—as big as an elephant—with a striped body, scraggly mane, four fangs that curl up out of its mouth, and long sharp claws. Perhaps its most distinctive feature is its disproportionately long and ruffled multicolored tail. Native to China, Zouwus are incredibly powerful and fast, capable of traveling 1,000 miles in a day.
