The Anti-Monitor! One of the most powerful beings of in the multiverse.

 

These are based on the recent Justice League version, the reformed appearance in Crisis, and the original appearance respectively.

 

I've been reading a lot of Justice League recently, so this is just one of the groups I was inspired to make during reading.

The Kunsthochschule Kassel has a big exhibition in Kassel right now - embedded in the project Spaziergang Kassel; and I am shooting a little documentary on it *yay*.

Mertens' water monitor (Varanus mertensi), is a species of lizard in the family Varanidae. The species is endemic to northern Australia, and is a wide-ranging, actively foraging, opportunistic predator of aquatic and riparian habitats.

 

It grows to a total length (including tail) of about 1.0 m (3.3 ft). It is dark brown to black above, with many cream to yellow spots. The underparts are paler – white to yellowish – with grey mottling on the throat and blue-grey bars on the chest. The tail is strongly compressed laterally, with a high median dorsal keel, and is about 1.5 times the length of head and body.

 

Varanus mertensi is semiaquatic, a strong swimmer, and seldom far from water. It is often seen basking on midstream rocks and logs, and on branches overhanging swamps, lagoons, and waterways throughout its range. When disturbed, it drops into the water, where it can stay submerged for long periods.

The water monitor is one of the most striking members of the Reptile family and is second in size only to the Nile crocodile. Including the tail, large adults can reach lengths of up to nearly 2.5 meters. Its body is adorned with beautiful yellow patterning, aiding it to be well camouflaged in its preferred habitat close to bodies of water and reed beds. Although usually found close to water, these monitors are not water dependent and will actively forage for food on land, traveling large distances from water if need be. They are also capable of climbing trees but are usually found basking on riverbanks.
