Description more "Homeland" artwork for ya!
oh darn... it's waaaaaaaay too big but... I didn't like the small version and the original was A3! so I did a middle one... still big but I hate to loose detail even if noone notices it O_o By the way... it didn't come out as well as I wanted it too but to fix it I'd have to change the scenario of the story and I dunwant that... but if ya have ideas they're always welcomed!!

This is character Aruan (she ain't naked in the actual story but I couldn't help it for this pic ) and the manta-shark-dolphin dude is Thoth... one of his animal forms I guess. You might recognise the name from egiptian mythology... well, if you studdy atlantean mythology you'll find that it's belived the egyptian god is actualy one of the fleeting atlanteans from doomed atlantis... watever... anywhoo, this dude's suposed ta be a direct descendent of that ancient guy from about 11000 year ago!

why safe doom?... well, in the actual story he saves her from drowning, but he's the one who mentally led her to dive that deep, and is safe the right word? he dragged her to a collapsing underseabottom cave city... as key to some major plan of saving (piiiiiii - spoiler!) from doom, but at what cost... and so on... it's an ever continuing duality.

anywhoo: done with no references except for the water surface.
toolz: pencil sketch, photoshop and graph tablet.

i like everything about the pic, except the sea-creature's eye.... i mean, the top part of his head..... it looks too cartoonish and doesn't quite fit the surroundings.....

i really like this, overall.... it's awsome. i love the water effect. keep that up

Seria crime não comentar ( e dar um favorito!! ) a um trabalho tão linduuuuuuu!!!
eh eh Vê-se mesmo k gostas dos trabalhos daquele artista (Lassen, não é? ) porque as cores k usaste para as " fumarolas" são muito parecidas ^_____^
Anyway, se há algo k eu gosto, quando submetes um trabalho, é que, para além de ser raro, os teus trabalhos são sempre magnificos e de uma beleza e detalhe lindos!!
Para além disso, acho que improvisaste bastante nestes teus últimos trabalhos -- o teu estilo, quer de desenho como de pintura, tão excelentes!
As anatomias estão muito boas e a criatura, então!, ficou maravilhosa e tem um design muito bom!
Menina, isto é um 20!!
Kha sends best wishes to ya great works and to ya! A uni vai indo bem?

Isto está lindo!!! Mas tu já sabias.
Eu adorei a criatura... é impossivel não se gostar. Também gostei muito da atenção que deste aos pequenos detalhes, tal como os músculos (ossos... whatever) nas " barbatanas" dele e o reflexo da água é muito realista. E depois aquelas bolhinhas todas... X_x;
ADORO O TEU ESTILO DE PINTURA!!!
Ficou excelente!
