Description A passing sea-dragon waves to a scuba diver and her camera-man.




Viewers are encouraged to provide thier own ideas for further interpretation.





Drawn for Sea Dragon contest. At first, I was planning on sitting out the contest because I was at a loss for an appropriate design. But then I hit upon an idea--inspired either by looking at sharks, or by other drawings I've seen here at D-art; give the girl big pectoral fins in place of wings. Really massive, sweeping pectoral fins. Magestic fins, that make it look like she's gliding through the water....I'm not sure I fully pulled that off, but, whatever, here we are!

Not sure how you'd have a dialog underwater... so I'll pass on that.

The scene looks like a random happenstance - sea-dragon was en route somewhere and just happened to pass by two scuba divers swimming near the seabed in her territory. Of course, the two scuba divers could be searching for said sea-dragon and are surprised to see her just swimming casually by.

Don't worry, you did a great job. She looks like she could be in Vistallah too.

As for what's going on, maybe the woman is asking for directions... while the man with the map insists he knows exactly where he's going.

Yeah, I didn't vary my art style much (or at all), so she really does look just like a She-Drake with a different set of accessories....

I do like the identifiable scuba gear.

Good to hear! ...Though, with them being underwater, context made the scuba gear that much easier to do.

Heh. For best effect, that line should be said with a 'Jacquee Cousteau' accent!
