The chains.
THE CHAINS DESTROYED ME
I'm not sure where this idea came from and it started out with me trying to do some pose practice. At some point I guess I decided I was going to take it all the way into a full piece and here we are. xD
I improvised the character and he's loosely based on a sea urchin. The impression I got while drawing this was that he was incredibly poisonous and he'd been chained to the bottom of the ocean to keep him away. Other than that, he hasn't done anything wrong, and as you can probably see, he's incredibly sour about it. I'd say he's been down there a while and he's become quite unfriendly, not that I blame him.
Edit: I was convinced by you lot to do more with him, and so I am as of now working on a short comic that tells his story and how he ended up like this. Thank you all so much for your support and giving me the confidence to make something.

btw - chains in life are virtually everywhere I thought about it too when I think of my id - tags always on the belt like all or many workslaves these days everywhere: meantime i even wear identity chain on wrist with name etc. on it looks and feels quite cool and you may even end up with a dogtag locked round your neck i e army etc except that u get used to it allΒ - which I suppose is better for me ! many feel enslaved on a daily basis

Why is he chained, can't they just let him go free?

Still, it's sad. And he must be lonely...

Yeah ;_; he hasn't seen another mer in a very long time. He has a few fish friends to keep him company but that's about it

This guy has a really cool design! My guy goes through something similar and I have a feeling Urchin and Varil would get along quite well if they had ever met! Love the murky depths of the ocean!

Aaah thank you! Though this guy is kind of too far gone, I doubt he'd get along with anyone that wasnt a fish ;-; who knows

Maybe after a chat over sharing similar circumstances, BOOM! friendship (because it's as easy as that? LOL jk) I bet their interaction would be really interesting though!...Varil got a suspicious nature, so if they didn't have an understanding early on, I wouldn't be surprised if a scrap broke out o-o )

Be careful Varil! The urchin was put there because he is very poisonous/venomous!

Varil only has some in his tail tips (mostly for self defense), he'd have to be really careful D:

Whoops why am I so afraid to comment until way later, I have no idea? ;-;
He's a very lovely character though and all the pieces of him are beautiful!
Shame, his poor hand though O^O I'd probably try and break the chain off if I could. ;3;
