Description
Barely able to see, there, in the distance, is a small glow.Curious, the eel slithers through the icy waters to investigate.
The light... It is so mesmerizing...
So... peaceful...
The last thoughts of that tasty eel were those of peace.
Angler, Wyrm of the Deep has finally been finished beyond my expectations.
Thanks to everyone who thought I had potential enough to do this. Your encouragement has given me inspiration!
Sketched, scanned, painted for about 3 hours, got critiques, researched like a beast, and 3 hours more of work; Angler is finished.
He is based off of the very real angler fish, but he is much bigger. X3 Angler is mine- Do not use, copy, download, steal, or remaster without my express permission.
Done using Photoshop CS3 and Wacom Bamboo Fun.
I PREFER COMMENTS OVER FAVS. Don't fav and run, I want to know WHAT you love about him! Please!!

This is awesome!!! Nice job on the coloring and the shading. The scales are so detailed; it must have taken some time to draw them al!
I really need a tablet too, haha
You sure have the potential!!! Keep up the good job! ^__^

Thank you kindly! And scales always do take forever, but as coloring calms you, my scales calm me. It's weird, I know. X3
Thank you also for the fav!!

Uhm, on this piece? How did I colour so well? I guessed. A lot.
Not the answer you were probably expecting, right? I have another wyrm in my gallery that is a blue, so even though I wanted this piece to originally be a dark blue, I thought it might look too similar. So I went with dark green, and purple is close enough to red on the color wheel that it helped to accent the green. The yellow glow is yellow because it accents the blue belly plating (again, opposite on the color wheel), and then I just used shading of all 4 of those colors to do the rest of the painting.
The shading I did on the belly was just some damn good luck, though.
Thanks for commenting!

Well, what do you see? If he looks like he's that big, then why not? My dragons are inspirations of the hearts and minds of people I love and know; If he is a guardian of the seas, would he not be as large as you can imagine?
