Awesome. Coloring that's going to be particularly fun, I'm sure. I don't know if you remember it (I thought I remembered you being a fan of the White Wolf stuff, but maybe I'm mistaken), but White Wolf produced this great supplement, called "Blood Red Tide," ... I think, that had super-ultra-awesome ideas for Changeling: The Dreaming in it, including merfolk as seelie and unseelie fairies of the sea-- the seelie kind being vertebrates, and the unseelie being invertebrate.

The lobe-y ness of it gets most interesting at his tail. That, I think, is where the eye finally "gets" his nature.

Nice frilly seaweed too.

Thanks, hun! Yeah, I'm a fan of White Wolf material- Changeling was fun to play. Had this Knocker character that I made some of THE loudesst, shiniest clothes for that I've ever worn (t'was a LARP).... Never read "Blood Red Tide" tho... I missed a bunch of their publications 'cuz of a bleed-out in my cash-flow.... Oh, well.

I never actually made a gender for my little mer-person- I just had some fun with the lobes going down the body. I got a nice anthro feel that way. Got the idea from this image: http://www.stanford.edu/~bhackett/p.....ned-dirona.jpg I'm going to be extra careful with the colour-work on this one...

Neat!

Thanx!

Can't wait for the color?

Heh. It's going to be pretty... Yum!

Hee I can tell it is a # by just looking, it's one of the prettiest species, and lives all down the US west coast, so I get to see them naturally in tidepools every year. :D Your character's design is really cool, and as for gender or lack thereof, all (sea)slugs and snails are hermaphrodites, so it doesn't necessarily need one either. :]

Wow I failed at that link XD. Here. ><

Oh, very cool! I'd based it on just that species! Thing was, the image I'd used was the one you'd posted in your journal, and I couldn't see it's tail, so I "added" one into my image... nice to see I wasn't too far off. I'm colouring the lovely critter now. Gonna add in a nice reef background, too. Probably be done by tomorrow.

more sluggers!!!! XD

Yup! *grins* And I'm gonna do more of these lovely beasts. there are some gorgeous colours I want to play with...

X3
im currently arming mine for no good reason XD,and yes the colors omg

*cackles* Yah, the colours make my eyes go all misty, they're so pretty.

Oh cool, can't wait to see it colored! :D

It's half-way done, now. Thought I was going to be able to get it finished yesterday, but work got in the way. It's going to have a fairly dark background, to highlight my little guy... Hmm, reeef...

now that's interesting..... yes color it!

I'm almost done his colour, even went out and got one of those opaque white paint pens so I can do the edges of the "petals"... Spent a crazy amount of cash on pens today... *cringes at the tag she paid for 17 Prismacolour markers and paint pens...*

I love pens... if you use them then they are tools hun... also check ebay for less expensive pens...

Shipping will eat what saving I get on the pens. And I like Prismas... Indeed, they are tools- my art has improved quite a bit with them, too.
