Description It seems like a majority of the time that I post little Ulli here it is when he's in a not so good predicament. No wonder he is such a constant grump butt.

During the main storyline for our little Meridian trio there is several changes happening on their planet, both socially, and to Ephomeris itself. Primarily, pollution. As other lifeforms invade their planet, on a practical resource gold rush of sorts, they bring with them disease and poison for the planet. They disregard what is pure upon their arrival, and pollute where ever they travel. Not intentionally, but without realizing the repercussions of their actions. As chemicals and other wastes are dumped into the waters near the OtherWorlder's settlements the Yhosymphs are the first to feel it. They avoid and try to remain outside of the areas where the pollution is most prominent, however this means a loss of hunting ground for them. Because of this, during the time of their story the Symph's begin to hunt more consistently near the Ephiri's. Becoming more violent, and more likely to attack those whom inhabit the tree's if the opportunity arises. Due to this shift, and the now constant threat the Ephiri start setting up well, traps. Nets and hooks in the water. Even putting some to remain in the trees near the shore to attack anything that gets too close.
Seems Ulli might of gotten a wee bit too close for their tastes. Poor Chap.

I tried some new coloring styles on this image, a wee bit more time consuming but I am loving the end results that I got. So definitly expect more like it in the future folks!

I know this sounds silly but I thought of the song "Murmaider" for this piece? This is gorgeous.

It looks gorgeous... I love how the background is made up of just lineless shapes for the seaweeds and how the color shifts from light to dark on the bottom. I also think that seaweed is drawn rrreeally well XD and I like how you made it a bit more 3 dimensional by adding the extra lines.
The glow of them bubbles looks amazing as well.

Thank youuu!!
I've found recently incorporating some lineless pieces into the background makes it easier to focus on the main portion of the image. Honestly I wish I had figured that out AGES ago. 
ThankgoditactuallylookslikeseaweedIwasworriedhaha;; I drew it from memory, back in Cali it would wash up on the beach every day basically. Stunk up the place, but was hilarious to play with as a kid. Kinda Slimey though 
It's amazing how many different ways there are to draw something as simple as a bubble. I've def been playing around with the different styles of it recently with my SE entry and this.

You're welcome!
It really does help.
Oh god, I hated being touched by the clumps of seaweed that would be floating in the ocean at beach camp. It was so gross to me. XD 
This method for bubbles is definitely very eye catching and pretty
