Okay, so inspired by =Mwokozii's giant free fall collab, I have decided to start my own giant collab! So I shall now open this collab to you guys if you want to join it!
Theme: Underwater
Rules: 
-Please make sure the background is transparent!
-The canvas size has to be 1000x1000 pixels
-If you are doing shading on your character, the light will be coming down from above, so if possible could you keep the shading as if they were lit from above ^^
-Your character can be doing anything, as long as it is appropriate for the theme
-You can have more than one character, a maximum of two, but if they are in the same picture you are making, then please make the canvas size 2000x2000 pixels.
-You can collaborate with friends for double pictures (Please make sure the canvas is 2000x2000 pixels)

This is great! I like how Rook's pose clearly shows that he's swimming, as it will suit the collab well. I like that you've used the shading so well, as it looks like the light that's coming through the water is shining down on him, and I think it makes him look cute and fuzzy. :3 I think some parts of the fur also look like they're flowing in the water, which will look great once added to the collab. The anatomy on him is very good, and the facial features are mostly in proportion as well. The way you have shaded the eyes is wonderful, and they've got a cool sparkle to them. Well done.

Awww thank you very much Vanilla! I'm glad you like it!!

I tried my best to make it look like he was swimming, and to make it look like he was underwater (Like with the fringe flowing upwards instead of being down as usual) 

Thank you very much! <3

Yes, they're little remoraids, which you normally find on sharks

Oh my goodness.
This is absolutely fantastic.
You really know how to impress when it comes to creating superb pieces like these. Your shading is lovely. It really brings life to the picture, and when put with a background It'll really have that underwater effect. You've got the tones just right. Your shading always impresses me. You seem to really know what you're doing when it comes to choosing tones and choosing the areas which need to be shaded.
I love how this entire thing is drawn. The style is just fantastic in itself. There's something about this style that really stands out to me. It just looks rather different, but I love it. All of the features look brilliant, and you've done a really good job and getting the feline proportions correct.
Those paw pads. I love the effect you've added onto those. It adds that bit more of a realistic shape and just looks so neat.
As for your lineart, how does one lineart so neatly? I must learn. But wow, you're really good at it. Your lineart always looks lovely. ^_^
Even the little fishes are awesome. They are actually a lovely touch to the picture.
Your style is really unique, and it will always be a favourite of mine.
It's a pleasure to look at your works and leave comments. You're always uploading something nice for your watchers to see. We're lucky to have you as an art inspiration. I'm lucky to have you as a friend~ ^_^
Awesome job!
