Hourglass Dolphin, the orange and white seahorse, swims through a coral reef system...
Underwater scenes and aquariums are really one of my major hobbies - so I had a lot of fun with this one. Included in the background are: A porcupine puffer (yay!), a moray eel, a maroon clownfish, a tomato clownfish, a mandarin dragonet (another of my favorites), yellow polyps, maiden's hair algae, anemone and brain coral.
One of the most fun parts about painting undersea scenes is the exaggerated atmospheric perspective (how quickly things turn to blue receding in space)
Done in acrylic paints on 11"x14" illustration board.

Might I say I never see people draw brain coral, as surprising common a coral as it is.
Maybe it's cause it grows like spaghetti noodle brains? You certainly did a good job coloring, and even with the hippocampus the scene seems remarkable similar to the description of a real life reef, as it is full of life with many different creatures.
... do you like crustaceans and cephalopods though? Well, not just cephalopods, all mollusks are my favorite... I'm hoping to have a squid fursuit someday... yup...
