Wow, this has some very oriental flairs to it, at least in my opinion. It looks stunning and one of your best pieces!

The colours, the composition, the illustration itself - flawless.

shoes!! this is awesome, broha! this looks like an illustration out of an interesting book. with a magical water creature. the colours are [link] . i love how the head and body look like it's been the site of mineral deposits, then smoothed and rounded by the waters. you can still see some soft wispy "flesh" toward the back of the body and in the tail. i really like that transition! and i'm glad your little hatch-grass is seen, creating a little nest for our friend. nicely done!

and those are my initial thoughts.

Wow, this is so cool. The head is very solid, and towards the tail it kind of fades to be almost immaterial. It's an awesome effect.

I thank you for your comment. I'm glad the transition from the front to the back is being taken in a good manner. I was a little skeptical when I started that part of the coloring.

Thank you for taking the time to look at the piece!

I really appreciate your kind words.

Color is a new frontier for. I bit the bullet and just let go of black. It's really scary. in a way.
