Description
An odd quadruped mount, living in seas. Inspired by nautilus (duh!).I mainly focused on the head, therefore the rest of it is very sketchy; I drew a complete version of the creature so you can understand how it should look like.
Art and design by me
Please don't copy or redestribute my work as your own. Thanks.

I think this is my favourite so far! He looks majestic and menacing at the same time--and his simple color palette is perfect.
I hope Karijn-s-Basement has her mentions on because I think she'd enjoy this! She creates crazy cool creatures.

Aw thanks so much!
I love when you mention an artist, it's always a pleasure to look at their works! The only problem is that then I want to watch them too and my notification box is already about to explode X,D

The nautilus is a remarkably-underrated creature. You did a glorious job of blending its shell patterns into the back of a separate species type.

Wow, this is so fascinating!
I really love the coloring you did on the Nautilus, it's so good and really realistic
Do you have any description to go with the creature?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's the only part I really colored, in the rest I just throw some colors to give an idea.
I had, but it's in italian XP I'll try to resume it in english: also called sea ram, this creaure lives only in deep salty waters, usually hot; can "walk" on sea bottom but it's also a good swimmer thanks to its web-paws and tail. Males are generally more colored than females (depends on the kind considered) and have a protruder head-shell (used as weapon). Can travel long distances but prefer to stay in one location if thre's no need for moving. It's generally curious and non aggressive.

Well, I know, but still ...
I really like that description, it gives away some great aspects to the character to provide an interesting creature ;D

Yeah, I know that a description would make these creaures more interesting; the fact is I spend lots of time translating the description (which already stelt time for putting it on paper), I'm a lazy person and I sincerely don't know if people care or not to know more about them. So I choose the simplier option an don't add info in the description.

Well, that's no problem, I don't demand you do it, it's a hobby so do what you like to contribute
When you want to, go ahead but when you don't, you still brought a pretty awesome artwork to the table.
It's just personal preference.
