Black Dog

This is my piece for the Bump in the Night portfolio that Kyoht will be putting together for the upcoming Convention.
The Legendary Black Dog.
I'm sure plenty of you know the legends and myths behind this supposed demonic omen of death seen occasionally around the world by unlucky travelors. Similar to the Mothman, the black dog was sure to bring either ill tidings or death itself to those who crossed it's path alone at night.
Some say it is the devil's pet, doing his dirty work on earth.... Others believe it to be the angry soul of some unknown departed human, come back to wreak havoc in the shape of a old black dog. Either way, I gave it both human (front hands and teeth) and canine aspects....
