Description Needed to flesh out Tucker so I would like him. I changed his design slightly. I was also drawing his beak too fat and it never looked right to me. Finally worked out it needed to be thinner! Now I really love his design!

Besides this piece I don't think I've ever seen much of Tucker in your gallery, could you tell a little more about him? What species is he? The painting is wonderful. Such a nice, calm atmosphere you captured here. I love those dark blue colours. Also, pretty cool how the stars in the sky are mirrored somewhat by the particles in the sea

He is a bottlenose dolphin x common dolphin hybrid and will be one of the main protagonists in my comic Being a hybrid is significant to the story, so I hope he 'looks' different enough to notice he is not pure bred. He might be a bit moody but he has his reasons, lol.

Thanks! I loved how this one turned out. One of my favourite paintings!

Ahaa! I have to say that I immediately had to grab a couple of photos of commonxbottlenose hybrids and compare - and with those photos side by side it suddenly became clearer haha. Okay, cool! Pretty funny to notice both our comic protagonists are hybrids. Guess being weird just has that certain appeal

My main protagonist is a pure bottlenose, but Tucker is her companion for most of the comic. Unfortunately for Tucker, being 'weird' like that doesn't work in his favor! My comic has a very religious undertone and inter-species breeding may or may not be considered a Sin in their universe...

I haven't seen you post any art for a few months. Very nice. Tucker's a common x bottlenose hybrid, isn't he? I got too see a hybrid like that in real life once, they're gorgeous.

Thank you! Yes I have been very slack. It's a combination of the new Sims game coming out, being lazy and my photoshop not working. But it seems to be fixed now so I must get my butt back into gear and art!

Yes, he is! He was inspired by the one at SeaWorld I thought it was a neat little combination.
