Been a while since the last work on this! Well, that's what you get when you're dumb enough to be in the IB program and spend your whole month of May in exams.

Changed only a little since the last upload... I didn't like the fins, so I put new legs on again. In fact I tried several experiments trying to put fins somewhere on this animal, but it just didn't work. I highlighted the seaweed in the mane, painted more on the tail and added barnacles to it, and put some spotty designs on the animal. Wheee!

I think I am done with the animal itself; now I am searching for a background to go with it. It's very difficult to find good underwater stock, and I'm especially challenged because I hate the fact that the hippocampus is in profile (I prefer subjects in a 3/4 view) and I want to find some way to make the image engaging despite that.

Critique is always always always welcome, as well as any suggestions with helping me find some stock. Thankies!
