Description About the series:
This is a painting series I did for my finals. The theme wasn't specified, so I went with elemental dragons... kind of lame, but I didn't want to go with anything fancy or hard to understand, you try explaining a super complex fantasy theme to non-artistic teachers near retirement.

The set has 4 pictures with characters that I made, all of which were designed to be different from the typical elemental dragons you get on Google Images by incorporating different animal-ish themes and unusual color schemes. They have no name, no story... they only exist to be pretty Not sure if I'm gonna do anything with them, probably not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Originally there were supposed to be 5 pictures, with the final one being a group shot, but I was short on time so no group shot, rip

I also considered recording the process of them all and later put them into speedpaints... but I didn't want to put more work on myself before finals. A shame, I would love to know how long they took to make and timelapses are always nice. Ah well.

About this specific piece:
This is the first one that I made aaaaaalll the way back in February, and it remains my favourite of the set. All the rest have something that bother me, this one doesn't. Plus I'm a sucker for water creatures

This one is a mixture of the Lochnes monster, orca and those gorgeous coral fish (not any specific fish in particular)... all of which should be obvious.

Others in the series:
Air , Fire , Earth

Character and art are mine
P.S: this can be used NON-COMMERCIALLY with provided credit, telling me about the usage would be very much appreciated too

Since this is the latest I'll comment

And man yeah explaining concepts to art teachers is tough, cause it's all perfect in your head but others might not even see that!
Love the 4 pics though. Fire boy best boy but I really like the creativity you put into the water one, it's not everyday where you see a dragon with flippers for limbs haha

Yeah I could come up with some wacky space cyborg dragon steampunk elemental I-don't-even-know-what set of pictures but.... ah well. At least the pictures explain themselves without me having to write a single word
Gotta pray I pull off such good scales like the fire boi has in the future tho. Lord knows scales kill me
I was thinking of giving the water one basic legs but then I was like naaah let's make it an underwater only creature with gills and a lowkey ancient dinosaur vibe

Yeah pretty much haha, also I feel like mecha dragons could confuse the element representations?
Hell yeah, I believe you can do it! Haha That's why I try to limit drawing scales in my dragonsI mean what??
I honestly think that works better considering most aquatic animals don't really have legs... and if they do they've got tons of them haha
