Description
PRE-PRODUCTION: Managed to squeeze this guy in during this crazy busy schedule. Granted, its been in progress for a long time. But I'm quite content with its turn out.So,
This is Nereus, the Orsian God of Water true form.
In Japan his notorious sightings got him the name "Ryujin"
As one of the eldest primary elemental dragons next to Quetza, his size is colossal. He is a moving land mass, coral reefs and the oceans ecosystem literally grow thrive on his back. Unfortunately barnacles seem to seek his form as well, and in his god form its an continuous struggle of getting those pestilent barnacles off his feet. Despite his size, he is a rather timid and kind dragon, but a force to be reckoned with if one provoked or abuses his seas.
He has a heartwarming relationship with his Elemental Vessel: Nola. In this form Nola could pretty much sit his cavernous nostrils, so for a better size comparison I used a 9th Century Japanese Envoy Ship. (Nola's origin begins the 9th Century -Jogan Year of Japan)
I'm early completed his God form ( hybrid) Its not far from his old design only more updated in horn types and barnacles.
Oh the barnacles.

See, it's stuff like this that makes people scared of deep water.
For real though, this is awesome. Waters my favorite element so I'm really into this one

nice~ like the sizing with the itty bitty little ship for reference. Love how his tail looks like a feather but still fins. Very hybrid indeed. And lots of barnacles and coral are lovely!
