Yian Garuga Circular Emblem

Description

This month we take a look at one of the most notorious monsters in the series. Many that played the older games remember Yian Garuga but those that started off in Tri or later are running into this monster for the first time in 4U. This large flying wyvern is a distant cousin to Kut-Ku and shares some of its birdlike attributes. In battle, Garuga is a much more formidable enemy and can be a real pain at higher levels. It uses some of Rathian's charges and poisonous tail flips and is also capable of fire ball attacks. Yian Garuga can also use its incredibly fast modem-sounding roar to stun hunters and will usually follow up with a quick charge after. I remember fighting Garuga frequently in Freedom Unite and its armor served me well into the upper tiers of High Rank.

For this circular emblem, I wanted to capture Garuga's spiny shell while also preserving the circular shape of its wings. This turned out to be a larger piece due to the detail but I'm pleased with the results. The monster itself is mostly purple so the color scheme is the same as the other renders I've done of this particular monster.
