Woot the second and last humaniod-ish species im going to make.First one was...whatever Glitch,Rain,and Rhys are.This guy here doesn't actually stay in water all his life.He can only hold his breath for about an hour at a time before going up for more air.Which isn't a probably considering he doesn't dive very deep.His species stays by coral reefs,thats why they have bright colors.This is a closed species,you may not create one without my permission.
I absolutley love where these guys live.They are high enough in the water that everything is bright and colorful,and when they need to breathe they either poke thier heads out of the water or go onto the beautiful sandy beaches.They can eat seeweed,small fish,or fruits from the beaches.They are very friendly,especially the females.
Now commenting on the art,I have recently become addicting to setting my lines to 50-60 opacity depending on the character and background.I think the hardest thing was actually getting the lines done.I had to re sketch him so many times until I got the pose right.The background was just spur of the moment and what I thought would go with the picture.So,I guess hes sitting on a bed of sand or something.And then they're some rocks and a shell just laying around.Oh,and he looks shiny because he has slick,smooth skin,the sun is at its brightest and is shining through the water,and then as a plus the water has a slight glowing effect better seen from land.
If you actually read through all of this,then click this link to see the picture in better quality.Please,I beg of you,click it.
