I might make a few more adjustments, but this is pretty much done. If this doesn't scream "blah" I don't know what will. And of course I mean blah in a good way :)

Starting to render... next task: texture! and some color.

Here's a cleaned up sketch for my next project - I'm doing some concept visual development work for the book The Phantom Tollbooth for a class project. These little guys are called Lethargians and are the most depressing, indifferent, lethargic creatures you will ever meet, so that's the mood I'm going to attempt to really push here.

If Neptune had a pet, this is what I imagine he'd look like. I love how the colors turned out in this :) I'm really starting to get the hang of using color in my shadows. I might revisit this a bit later to add some more fish and bubbles to enforce the "underwater" feel. But I'm pretty happy with this one :]

Working on bringing out the form in the dragon and fine tuning the light source.

I whipped this out so quickly I didn't even pause to save some WIPs on this one. I like the atmosphere, I may revisit this piece and add some things... maybe some little creatures sneaking around who knows :) For a larger view check out my deviantART account: http://capriciousfish.deviantart.com/#/d4cjgd9

Here is the final piece! I might make more adjustments later, but it's done for now :)
