Fresh from the drawing table... Bulette!

I have for you another drawing that is fresh from the drawing table. This time around it is a Bulette (buːˈleɪ/boo-LAY)! The wily BOOLAY... or Bulette... it was hard to pass this one up that long. I have always been fan of the Bulette and its silly and weird origins even if I was not pronouncing it correctly for years. It is not a bullet... Big crazy monsters made by mad wizards are always fun and in my universe the monster is crazier because the wizard was more mad! I present to you my version of a Bulette...

It may have been originally a Ultraman monster that was packaged with dinosaurs and imported to the states in the early 1970's but it has become so much more then that. To me the Bulette is darn near perfect the way it already is, but I tasked myself with the challenge to redesign all the monsters in the original Monster Manual, and that means working over even the Bulette. Since the origins of this monsters is at the hands of a mad wizard I figured I could push it even more into a completely crazy beast. If I was a mad wizard I would be sure to make my monsters as crazy as I can. Besides, I have been really wanting to draw something with a sideways mouth and the Bulette was the obvious choice! RAWR!
