Ohmygosh this is FINALLY DONE!

I worked my behind off on this picture so I hope people like it!!! It's a girl and a monster and they're in the ocean. Yes, the monster is bioluminescent because he is a deep sea creature (like an angler fish. Speaking of angler fish, read about how they mate! It's like... super weird and vamire-ish!).
The girl is his best friend.

I used around 200 layers!!! @__@ That's a record lol

This is my first line-less pencil-less picture!!!

The monster is a FEMALE. Yes. A female. A very vicious, hardcore female. But no like seriously, of this type of creature the females are very dominant. Not the males. But the males look pretty hardcore too.

This picture is underwater because I love love LOVE water! When I was little I wanted to be a fish when I grew up!

Themes: Beauty vs. ugly, light vs. dark, asymmetry (in the monster - check out his face), blue, water, white (the girl's hair), depth.

The girl is about 12-13 years old, but I let her face look mature because she is a mature thinker for her age.


For no. 20 Fortitude because I think the girl is insanely courageous for riding such a savage-looking creature. I for sure would be way to scared to do something like that lol.

I really hope you like it. I worked so hard on it and it means a lot to me. ^^

The original sketch: [link]
Another girl+monster picture I did in 12th grade: [link]

I did every scale and bubble by hand! It was awful! But I like the result. ^^

Whoops, okay I just realised that this picture will look grey and muddy in some areas on some peoples' computers. But it really shouldn't look like that. >_< I guess my computer is different (the display is a lil different and it's a 64bit computer, if that makes any difference). So i apologize if it looks greyish and muddy in some areas but I promise it's not supposed to look like that. I will change the colours if you need me to (change to something brighter, not to a different colour entirely )

You did all those bubbles by hand?! I feel sorry for your fingers!

It really shows that you worked hard on this. I am really amazed at the outcome! Very beautiful colours and composition of the whole thing.

Very very cool!

I saw the sketch version before, but I never thought a finished color work could be so gorgeous (and creepy at the same time, looking at the monster in full view ^^). Shows the amount of work that has been put into this.

Keep up the good work!

Aww thank you so much Jessie! I'm glad you like it!!! ^.^ I've been drawing a lot of monsters lately, but many of them look really savage but are really friendly when not threatened. I like friendly, vicious-looking monsters. Thank you again Jessica! ^___^ Yay!!!

Dream-of-This [2010-01-20 23:17:32 +0000 UTC]

Wow very beautiful. Love how you've done the light rays penetrating the surface and also the luminous glow of the sea creatures eyes and tail. Fab!

bunnyfan821 [2010-01-20 08:17:40 +0000 UTC]

WOW. just...wow o.o; that's AMAZING. you did every bubble by *hand*?! that's amazing!!! they look so realistic!!

a couple things i noticed:

the monster is just...fantastic. i love the scales and the face.
again, the bubbles are simply amazing. i can't believe the *detail* you put into this! it's wonderful!
the girl's eyes really caught me, they're as blue as the sea around her and they're amazing.

i noticed the girl's leg is at a bit of an odd angle, and it seems a tiny bit too short in comparison with the body.
also...the hand is a bit off...but i have no room to talk. hands are HARD. i can't draw them at all, so kudos for making a hand that's recognizable as a hand

overall this is an amazing picture!!! i can tell you worked hard on it!! ^^
