Not my usual style, but I hope you guys like it.

This is a picture I painted for Minicon Regia's Mexican Myth exposition.

I had to make the mexican version of the black dog. I had lots of troubles with picturing a scary black dog, mainly because I love animals. xD
The first picture looked like a puppy. >__>
Thanks to  budgie for the inspiration for this.

It was a fun challenge, I had to continuously watch / listen to horror music in order to be able to paint it. Sometimes I stopped listening to it and watched cartoons, so the picture turned happy... ^^;

So then I would turn off the cartoons and put on scary stuff again the whole time until I was done.

Not really sure how long it took, but it was quite a while. Many details were lost as well, but that was in order to make it have a better mood.
