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.

And welcome to DA, you switched your first drawing and I'll give you some great advice: Keep both of those drawings safe!
A few years down the road you should look at them again and be amazed, trust me ;}

Thanks for the feedback I'm still learning how to use devianart so I'm nor sure how to keep the drawing safe.

ah tysm QAQ honestly I wasn't too confident with my traditional but comments like these are rly lovely TToTT<333
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah same, my traditional is on a way lower level than my digital and Im not very confident with it either, on the rare occasions I do it people are just so lovely it makes me feel way more confident :3

yhh exactly! I think after I go my tablet I just never really bothered with traditional since I dropped art at school as well x___x
but yeah when I get a new tablet would you mind if I drew a little gift art of him?Β

The colors and composition are quite nice. Excellent touch with the reflective lighting, I almost wish there was just a bit more of it to break up the space and add more atmosphere to the depth. Sea urchin mermaid is definitely not something I've seen before.

i really love the idea and thought you put around this character though ;; really magnificent
π: 0 β©: 1
Why thank you, ehehehehh.
People actually do seem to like the idea behind him even though I improvised it, if people are genuinely interested then I might come back to it at some point and do some more work on it

you're very welcome!
and for sure, improvising is always a cool thing lol. I know I'd love to know some more about this characterΒ c:
I just really love how you thought around the sea urchin and like chained him to the bottom of the ocean idk it's just rad af

Makes you wonder why he's chained up, but at the same time, you want to free him. Β I've seen sea urchins moving around in the ocean and they look a bit like Gordos from the Kirby games.
