Description
Done for Conceptart.org's creature of the week, the topic being 'orange sea leviathan'. It's not the most original sea creature design out there but it was fun to draw anyway.Evergrin's are peculiar creatures that are named for their perpertual smile (guh). They dislike open air, but their (for lack of a better term) tentacles are useful for snatching things closer to the sea surface, such as whales coming up for air, boats, and low flying planes. Attacking manned vessels has created the myth of the giant squid, which, of course, is totally ridiculous.
Evergrin's have no eyes to speak of, but their sense of hearing is equal to none in all the world and they can imitate any sound within it to extreme accuracy. There was once an incident not so long ago where an Evergrin followed a passenger ship for miles until it finally veered off course, much to the relieved sighs of the passengers. Unknown to them, the creature had actually been following the sounds of an obnoxiously loud cd player spouting emo in one of the lower cabins. For years afterward, the approaching sound of 'you are the wind beneath my wings' meant impending doom for a ship or submarine.
Hope you dig

It's about DA Terms of Service and submition Agreement, i don't know if you are aware that DA makes you agree that they can use your work and sell it to third parties and people outside DA might be able to use it without your permission and you cannot do nothing about it.
I just want you to be aware of what's going on and how many rights you have on your Work.
The word is spreading fast.

I dunno, it's pretty original ;D
Love the design; it's really great to see so many different kinds of leviathans! The colors are just gorgeous [kinda hints on a citrus flavored sea thing, jah?], as is the lighting and the little diver camera xD. Great stuff
I also really enjoyed the description. Love the part about the emo music xDD! Super original, that. Keep up the great work!

No that's cool. :3 I really love the design for the creat and how well you were able to make an excellent picture. I just love the expression on the creature here and how it's moving about in the water, but stops to look at the sub in front ot it, like it's about it it it. x3 Wow, awesome job with the colorings, shadings, adn the highlights in the picture. Superb job overall with this! Keep up the good work! ^^
