By the Sea Shore

This sweetheart is another character of mine from my original story. There's 16 main characters to the story totla, and I don't have pictures of them all up yet, but I will at some point. This one, if one couldn't tell, is a lil' sea dragon. This was also where I started my improvement with clouds.

Art and character are mine, don't steal.

A graceful beastie, and I like the scale texture details on this one and how the green color pops on their spine and fins - is it bioluminescent?

  Thanks, I'm still pretty proud of this piece~ But no, the green doesn't glow, though most of her decorative scales are slightly iridescent.Her ethnicity hails from a tropical region, so during the day it's usually pretty well lit. I tend to put glowing bits on those who'd come from darker regions where it would pop out more.

  Ok, that makes sense. ^_^
  I think I've seen Siamese fighting fish with a similar shimmery-scale look...

  Bettas were a type of fish I drew inspiration from when designing her, so that would indeed make sense

  Cool, nice to know I was thinking on the right lines.

  It's also nice to know your research in design shows~
