He'd make an awesome looking giant sea monster, very nice work!

Yes he would! Thanks so much for the great comment. :)

cool^^

Thanks.

RELEASE THE KRAKKEN XD

Yeeehaaaww, Krakkens away!

Mmm.. SUSHI! ;)

*pulls you down to nibble on some thick, fish stix* Ummm, behave!

HEEEEE!

Looks great in colour! :)

Thanks, dear phin! I like him in color too. Now he just needs a dolphin pal to swim around with. :)

mmm sexy. needs more penis though

*laughs* I thought you might think so....but sometimes sexy shows through despite the lack of "hardage".

I never realized sleestaks were so hot.

Oh Ghod, now you're getting me horny. Sleestaks get me hard.

*kneels*

*hugs the sexy plane*

I just realized, why does he have goggles?

Looks great!

Many thanks, dearest coon. As to the goggles? I'm going to print here the same answer I gave Sedric with that very same question:

Your astute observations are fantastic to me and you picked out something that no one else has! Bravo! Those "Swimming Goggles" are an amusing twist, dear dragon, for Proteus can walk on land and live in air for a time...but to see, he needs goggles to compensate his vision in a world that has no water and too much light! Yeeehaww! Most excellent of you.

"I think the goggles will be the best part of him, since they seem to raise the most questions." Here's a story for you to write, Moot. ;)

Heh. Gotta know more about him, though! Conflicts and such.

There's more on the way. I'm coloring the next Proteus even now...and "that" picture tells a thousand words. ;)

I need to set my loyalties straight.
Do I bow to him or the chicken king?

You bow to each, respectively, as they finish with you.

Exactly what I was thinking

*chuckles and hugs*

King and lord of all he surveys. *Bows and worships him*

You're going to be his "special" subject. He really likes you.

mmmmmmmm feeeeeesh

mixed feelings about bowing to a fish. lol

just givin ya a hard time ;)

nice work!

Hey there, thanks stud dolphin. I was thinking about having him swim around with a phin buddy in a future work. Gotta share the love between species.

As always with your creations I absolutely love this fellow! I'll look forward to seeing his empire in action ;)

Much gratitude as always, dear Sedric for the very kind comment. I'm so pleased that you like Proteus. I'm working on his next appearance even now. :)

MY MY MY MY MY!!! LOOK AT THAT GORGEOUS BODY!!! Gorgeous WORK!!!

Much obliged for the sweet comment, dear duck!

Nice, he looks like one of the Deep Ones from Innsmouth.

The fact that you know about Innsmouth impresses me more than you know! It is true that Proteus could have been in touch with the Old Gods. I don't think he's talkin' though.

What can I say, the folks of Innsmouth have the right idea. Fishy fingering for fantastic fishing.
Of course, everyone knows Cthulu is the biggest pimp-daddy around. Folks dig the tentacles.

I have quesssssssssssstions for you about Proteus.

Too cool! Question away! Either here or via email if you like. :)

Aight. 3 or 4 toes? What species of fish is he based off of? Does he fins visible other than on his spines and calves? What's his exact role in the underwater courts? I kind of feel like he's bored royalty, but wanted to check with you first. :D

Oh my, such good questions! I will attempt to answer as completely as I can. He's still a formative creation so some aspects are still not solid on him yet.

He has four clawed toes on each foot with webbing in between each. Very much a beast footed creature, the webbing of course to help propel him underwater. I actually want his foot to expand at the toes when he's underwater, kinda like the Creature of the Black Lagoon....but I have yet to draw him underwater swimming. Heh, I've gotta get around to that quite soon, since he's a fish Lord.

He has the main dorsal fin behind his head and down to his buttocks, the fins end at the bottom of his spinal cord and fins on his calves, though really I've been playing with the idea of fins on his forearms because they would aid in getting him around underwater and look pretty cool too. :)

I had designed Proteus to be quite the loner. The back-story has not been created though my vision is that he is nearly the last of a lost race and of royal blood, but a king without a kingdom is really just a paladin in disguise. In this picture he does nearly look bored and blase', but that might just be his natural expression. Proteus is pretty much alone in his world for now...seeking but not really knowing what he's seeking. (Befriending perhaps a human female with an open mind, because he's not a trusting soul at all). Perhaps to find a purpose? Perhaps to gain a lost identity of grandeur of things that can never be again? He was trained as a warrior and did have a mother and father of course, but lost them in a horrible way when he was a younger fishling. //// I have a feeling that Proteus' people were hunted to near extinction after losing an antediluvian battle with an ancient, evil race lost in the mists of time...and that he's still hunted; though he might not know it yet.

Proteus is loosely based on the Permit fish, though not of their coloration of course. Much of him is my "mind's" eye of what a fish Lord should look like.

I'm super pleased that you are taking an interest in Proteus! I think he's so cool...but people seem cold to fish here at the best of times. And of course I haven't drawn him pornographically, so NO one is going to look at him. That's ok though. He's MY hero! Another Anti-Hero superhero, much more hip than Aquaman or Namor ever thought about being. ;)

This will do quite nicely, thank you.

Hmmnmmm, why do I get the impression that you're planning something?

If I am it will be a geological age before anything comes of it.

*laughs* Yes, I know. X)
