Artist's Comments

Here it is! The final, painted vesion of Essence of the Ocean! If there's anything I learned fromt this particular piece of artwork, it's this:

1. Making a visually pleasing composition in an underwater scene is hard.
2. I suck at drawing dragon anatomy.

Well, enjoy...I guess.

Completed: December 2006.
Time taken: I forget...two weeks?
Media: Acrylic paint on canvas

Artwork (c) Me.

EDIT: I would HIGHLY recommend not using full view, it makes the image look all grainy and crappy.

It is seriously cute and the colors are pretty too! Why does the dragon have wings if it's an underwater creature though?

Because he's mainly a flying dragon, but that doesn't mean he can't take an occasional dip in the ocean too! :aww:

On this particular day, however, he dropped his pearl while flying over the sea and had to dive in to retrieve it.

Ah color, and it is very easy to the eye. You should illustrate children's books.
