Description
Also currently a WiP. I felt like drawing something different from my usual characters.I still need to add a background (so his eyes and spots will look more bioluminescent) and texturize his skin a bit more. But I felt like posting him a little early. Dunno, why . . .
I decided to name him Helix, after a character I built some time ago.

wow... those spots on him look aweseom. I like the color, and that look that you gave him.

he looks like something that will be lurking the waters.

Thank you. While he was partially inspired by some deep ocean critters, I was thinking more subterranean, but water works, too. I could also picture him having a pretty cool intro, coming out the water in a dark cave. Hmm . . . something I should work on . . .

Thank you. I'm glad you like it. He's kinda a complete reworking of a concept I had years and years ago. The main lingering ideas are the bioluminescence, the claws and the tail. Everything else pretty much scrapped.
Oh, and as a side-note, all of his body's fluids are bioluminescent, so when he opens his mouth, inside of his mouth glows, too.

What art program are you using again? Cause depending I can help you do the texture... but I already know how to help you do the glowly looking eyes and spots.

Adobe Photoshop is my current program. And if you could help meh out, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Well to do the eyes you are going to need to do an additive layer and choose the same color as the eyes and go over them it will give it a lighter effect. The rest you will need to use a magic wand tool to select the part you want to have with the texture and use a filter on it. Just make sure you save the stuff before you do this so you can tweak with it.
