Any suggestions for a better title? ;u;

Anyways, this was basically just a speedpaint-type painting because I wanted to draw a bongo. They're so pretty <3

I've been working a lot with color recently haha.

This was inspired by one of the myths of the Bongo: "...When a Bongo is pursued the animal can dive into a river, shed its coat and remain submerged in the river feeding on fish until the dry season". www.probertencyclopaedia.com/c… Obviously, I didn't add the shedding it's coat part, I just kinda wanted to try for a surreal underwater setting (even though the bongo doesn't look like it's underwater), with the stripes kind of fading into the ripples.

If anyone has any ideas of what could make this better or have more of an impact or something, let me know, or is it better simple like this? Give me some second opinions. xD

Feel free to use it as a wallpaper :'D

Bongo referenced from a national geographic stock photo. The rest is from my head.
