A crocodile head fills the space with an open jaw that feels alert rather than fierce. Short engraved strokes travel across the snout and along the ridges, building a rhythm that reads tactile at large scale. The calm green field carries soft bursts that suggest heat and water shimmer, so the background stays active without stealing attention. The high bright eye anchors the gaze while the teeth resolve into simple triangles that keep the geometry crisp and contemporary.
This artwork began as a study of character through pattern and restraint. I limited the palette and drew decisive contours to capture strength with clarity. The goal was a portrait that reads instantly from across the room and still rewards a slower look with fine marks and quiet grain.
The mood is confident and graphic. It suits living rooms, studios and entryways that want a single focal point with personality. Layered digital inks, watercolor textures and subtle paper grain maintain sharp edges and a tactile finish at large sizes, delivering a premium contemporary folk statement for modern interiors.
