So here we have what I believe to be my first 3D character manip: Luca! Thank you to the Anonymous discord user who requested this, and just for fun since they couldn't decide which version of Luca they wanted to see coiled up, I decided to have some fun with it!

Dark Depths:

The young fish herder was bored. Why wouldn't he be? What was more interesting? Herding fish all day, or exploring?

As it turns out, poor Luca shouldn't have gone too deep into the ocean, getting allured by a creature of the deep was quite easy, as the boy had no prior experiences with hypnotic allure, these sorts of bright colors this deep into the ocean, or the bright and tight tentacles around him.

Each glowing ring, each sucker, and each squishy, leathery tendril stuck to Luca in a loving way. How could they not protect such a happy looking fishy boy? Especially that cute neck, where they were able to watch them smile wider and wider the more they tensed and loosened, suckered and squished, and not to mention pet that cute head of his, something that would only entrance him further and further.

Of course, the cecaelia that had caught him was having the time of their lives. A fish boy, all the way down here??? They wouldn't waste a second! A new friend was nice, but something to snuggle, cuddle, and toy with was a whole other can of worms waiting to be opened...~

Suffocating Shores:

Luca had no clue what he was getting himself into when he went onto dry land with that odd, new friend of his. However, there was just one thing that certain friend had left out. To stay far, far away from the groups of trees.

Unfortunately for poor Luca, once a thick muscle had grabbed around his neck, it was much too late... The poor boy was hoisted up by his neck and upper body into the branches, getting sat down on a few loops of coils, as the creature from above forced the wheezing boy to stare deep, deep into their eyes.

Tropical rings of color flowed from the serpent's eyes, a lovely Pineapple Yellow, a charming Seafoam Green, and ending on a lovely shade of Flowery Purple. The serpent had no clue this wasn't Luca's first time encountering hypnosis from a creature, the boy barely put up a fight. Of course, he did smell a little fishy, which set off flags in the sandy snake's mind; yes, this boy was indeed from the ocean, but no, he was unable to resist.

The serpent staggered one of those eyes, making it harder to focus on Luca's thoughts, which were being muted.

One thing was certain: This 'Sea Monster' would be little more than a sputtering toy in a few minutes, and by sundown if he was lucky....~
