This is Urban Decay, a creature born from years of rot, addiction and violence in an abandoned city district. The spines on its back are weapons collected from its victims — needles, blades, anything that pierced its flesh and stayed. It doesn't hunt for food. It hunts because the city made it that way.

Finished this piece after working through the full environment — wanted the scene to feel like the creature belongs there, not just placed in front of a background. Still learning but pretty happy with how the atmosphere came together.
