Description
The Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp, also called the Lizard Man of Lee County is a South Carolina cryptid whose sightings date back to the 1980s. Initially, he was attributed with damaging a car parked at a home near the edge of the swamp. The news story on the creature prompted others to come forward claiming to have encountered the beast, those some of those were proven to be hoaxes. Regardless, the Lizardman has become a bit of a tourist attraction in the area and is a great addition to Southern folklore.
There are a couple of things I liked about making this image. First off, this is not your usual hairy man (like Bigfoot or a werewolf) nor a sea serpent making it different from the more common cryptids. It was a nice change of pace. Plus, the green skin was fun to work with. Also, I like this one as it is a bit more local. Usually creatures like bigfoot are said to haunt forests on the other side of the continent. Living on the highly populated East coast, cryptids are a bit more rare, yet this reptilian monster was sighted less than half a day's drive away from where I live.
Thanks for looking,
