Description Felt like he needed a background.

Here he is without the bg:

So, let's cross our fingers and hope he looks grand with a background :3

That Striped Yellow fish alone took approx 50 layers to finish >.< So far I'd be on 80ish if I didn't repeatedly flatten every aspect onto different layers each.

Sanji had about 10 layers, 2 of which I accidentally left empty or what I used them for was so faint it got lost. >.< He took about a day and a half whereas the other fish took about two and a half.

I have 6 sparkle layers spread randomly throughout the piece, so that the sparkles seem to be flowing around the dragon.

Layer total so far: approx 100

Sanji is at 5 layers, I"m using the actual fishie in the tank as a reference

Ok, so I copied, pasted, moved, and re-edited the fish to form a school of about 2 kinds of fish. So what. Who wants to spend days on a fish when they're bout the same kind anyway?

You spend 5 days on 2 fish then realize you still need more

I may, but I don't want them to overpower the dragon. I just want him to be diefied slightly, but yet not so obvious that everyone is like- "How could he confound us these days with all those sparkles?" As I believe a large light in the dark depths of the ocean may just drag a few curioius scientists down chaseing after him.

mmm yeah, but they look like kinda like solid stuff floating around him and not actual light :/ Maybe just put a brighter pinpoint in the center and make them more opeque?

I'm not gonna alter him, so maybe I should have some gold coins falling down from the arms of a divers silouette.

actually I accidentally flattened all layers and saved as I was making a WIP save >.< So that was the best way I could get him back to a different layer so I could mess with the bg. The fuzzy wand took out half his beak >.<
