This is a drawing featuring a large armadillo-like creature in a fantastical setting. The creature is adorned with intricate patterns and is chained at its feet with large shackles and ball-and-chains. The background shows a cityscape with industrial elements like smokestacks and a tall tower, against a sky with a crescent moon, stars, and wispy clouds. In the foreground, there are several figures engaging with the creature. The text "El Gran Armadillo" and "De Guerra RIP 2017" appears at the top with decorative star shapes. The color palette is predominantly greens and black, creating a bold and graphic style.
