Description I saw this cute little guy's Lineart at [link] and thought he looked really cute. And since I also found out she kinda hoped I'd colour it it was a deal XD
Hope you like what I did with him
Tried to make the waves in the back look a bit ariel-ish, thought it would fit Let me know what you think ^^

You are brilliant. I may end up changing my color scheme for him to this, I like it so much! (I'm serious. I might, if it's okay with you.) The water looks really good, but what caught my eye is how well you did the fins. o_0 My mind boggles Shiya-san. It just does.

Thank you!

aww, thanks a lot I just tried to be good, as usual.. and also tried to get the image I had in my head applied to the colouring ofc
Sure, you can change his colour scheme if you want..or just make a second version yours is cute too
The fins were coloured the way I usually do my stuff.. First do a layer with the base colour, then one for shadows, one for highlights and I add at least 2 different colours for each, then smudge them with the smudge tool on low opacity to blend the colours and create a bigger variety of different shades (dunno if this is understandbale :<
when I was done colouring everything, I added a lot of small dots, made some glow too and stuff
I'm really really glad you like it That's what I hope for most, that the people whose Linearts I draw like the result
btw, no need to call me "san" i go pretty good with a chan..or simply a "shi"
