Description
Wanted to try out some of Aquasixio's techniques, after reading his tutorial: [link]Adding my usual thick black border didn't seem to suit this piece well, so this one will be left naked. D:
Originally meant to draw a girl looking down on something... then a glowy fish in a pond.. a glowy fish jumping out of a pond... an Elasmosaurus [link] .. and finally, a babeh elasmosaurus. :3

This is sooo lovely, i'm glad you decided against the black border. I find the wetbrushing, while gradating in colour to be such a lovely technique. It works really well in this piece. The colour palette works together to bring the whole image into a nice cohesive piece to look at. Not a thing out of a place. I also love how some of the figure is left to the imagination as you have omitted to be beneath the surface of the water (as I take it) I love the iridescent glows on the tip of the snout too - they're just a real nice touch. Keep up the great work! Thank you for sharing.

Nice colors (although a little bright on my monitor), the shading and texture on the creature are really great!

I love how you took little goobly spots and turned them into a bubbling massive swamp of purpleness 
And I love how you can see little glimmers of the elasmosaurus's scales!
