Description This is Laelin. She's a member of the rather exotic Nentain Venrock subspecies. More closely related to the Cruuis Venrock [link] subspecies than her more bipedal cousins, she'll spend the majority of her day underwater swimming, or cruising the surface near the shore. Nentain Venrocks are social and very outgoing, living primarily in small villages on the beaches of the southern Green Sea. They travel vast distances over open water to trade and engage in commerce with Venrock and Vulpesant port cities, and traded with both sides during the Great War. Nentain Venrocks can hold their breath for several minutes while diving, and are very fast swimmers both on the surface and while submerged. They make excellent divers to help with the recovery of sunken ships and goods, and in the years following the War, worked with naval salvage teams from both sides of the conflict.

This idea has been on my mind forever now, I was more or less inspired earlier today by a short clip of a sea turtle swimming on TV. I plan on drawing more, now that I've got the concept down.

Very nice *purrrrrs* I do wonder how empty that shell is right now, assuming that she can retract into it.

JazzLizard In reply to LadyBhaal [2011-10-16 12:31:53 +0000 UTC]

Naw, sea turtles can't retract much into their shells, they're all full of guts and muscles.

LadyBhaal In reply to JazzLizard [2011-10-21 11:32:14 +0000 UTC]

That would definitely help with buoyancy too What do they do when threatened I wonder. Obviously NOT shrink back into their shell.

I don't know why she'd have humanoid hips + butt, but it's your pic... It just doesnt make much sense is all.

JazzLizard In reply to Jonat [2011-10-15 00:56:10 +0000 UTC]

Think about every other "taur" out there, do they make much more sense?

Jonat In reply to JazzLizard [2011-10-15 00:59:15 +0000 UTC]

It's just a pet peeve of mine for the "Butt" thing to be present. Like how it's stupid people keep making mermaids fold their tail like they have a joint (like a knee)..

Though, don't get me wrong I love your art and the picture is well-done, I just feel the need to have said something because in that image especially it really stands out as.. Daft, to me.

Another wonderful creature from your imagination. Laelin is very exotic and very pretty, too.

Nicely done shadowing on her and the deeper ocean shadowing under her.
