Artist's Comments

Hurray for cheesy titles! :boogie:

Some of you saw the sketch for this fella in my scraps, but here's the colored version. ^^ I'm quite happy with him, especially the blurring effects. And the bubbles.

This is a lionserpent, another dragon species of Rinsei. As the picture suggests, they live only in deep waters and often dwell near the sea bottom. They have many fins whose bright colors act as a warning to tell other creatures that the lionserpent is highly poisonous; in fact, their poison is the most potent of any living thing, animal or plant, in the world. These dragons usually reach a length of about 50 to 60 feet (females are bigger) and feed on fish.

Anyway, I hope everyone likes him! I'm really happy with him myself. ^^

And for the uninformed, this guy is based off a lionfish. Click here if you don't know what they look like.

That's really awesome. Hypnotic almost. I love the stripes.
:iconscythedragon:
Very nice. ^__^ I really like the finnage on this guy, and the color scheme is appropriate as well as appealing. The scorpionfish family makes for some inspirational fish, no? XD Seriously, though, great job with the shading and the winding, blurring effect; it really does look as if he's spiraling towards the viewer. Nice one! :D

And on a side note, I find it funny that the lionserpent is Rinsei's most poisoness creature, while Auria's most deadly is among its smallest. XD That, and I'd imagine that the sheer size of this guy is enough to say "Back off." :sprint:

Thanks, Kali! ^__^ It certainly does; I may have to make some more dragons like this one sometime. XD Thanks again!

Yep, and Miss Lilacbloom manages to find a dead one washed up on shore at some point... fun fun. ^^; (What's Auria's most deadly one? I forgot. ^^; ) And yeah, lionserpents are big guys... but nothing compared to, say, a Seiryuu leviathan. XDD

WOW. This came out utterly AWESOME. This has to be one of your best coloring jobs yet, and the blurring? Wicked! You did an absolutely wonderful job!
:iconpincushion-jester:
This is gorgeous. The full view was a treat, I'm especially fond of the blurring effect.
