Description Something I worked on all day. You've seen these two in *RoosterBlue 's and my galleries before--Diallo (the great white shark) is hers, and Enzi (the seahorse) is my character. She wanted me to draw Enzi all wrapped around Diallo--it's a habit of his. X3

The background took a while, but I had fun with it. I just love doing underwater scenery.

It's been said before, but this is one of the cutest things I have ever seen. That seahorse tail is sooo adorable.

This image is completely amazing and sweet!! And the simple idea that one of them is a seahorse gives me so many ideas for an mpreg, as we know that are the male seahorses that carry the little babes XDDD anyway, that's just my dirty mind. I must say again that i love it!!!!

Aw, thank you very much! :3 Haha, those silly male seahorses. Those two would make very good fathers (they already take care of the seahorse boy's little sister, so they're kind of like a father to her). I'm really glad you like this!

You have such a pretty style * _ * I love the way you use smooth strokes, it makes things look so silky and nice D; whoaah.
I also like your concept and ability to portray something 'wholesome' even with out the thousands of shades to make something 'pop-out'.
It's just simply wonderful, I highly enjoy it

If I wasn't afraid of fish and looking at pictures at them, I would love to make an aquatic design like this o u o.. But.. then again I have that ridiculous phobia My how you torture me .

D'awww, thank you! Such deep comments! <3 I wanted those two boys to be able to blend in with the environment around them. And for the environment as a whole to play a large part in this.

Eeee, I am just so happy and grateful you like it so much! X3

Awww, haha, perhaps you should still try! But I know what you mean--I went snorkeling in Hawaii once, and it was pretty terrifying, actually. But even just pictures of fish scare you? That's okay though, everyone has phobias, and I certainly do too!

Aww! This is adorable! I love the way Enzi is wrapped around Diallo, it really is just like seahorses do when they wrap around rocks and things. So cute! X3 The underwater scenery looks great too, you must have a lot of patience! And I like how you left a big gap at the top of the picture, it really works with the title.

Aw, thank you sooo much! I like making Enzi wrap around things, especially Diallo. He'll get swept away by the current if he doesn't hold on! X3 The underwater scenery did take a while--I usually do not have patience at all for backgrounds. XD I'm really happy you like this! Thanks for the lovely comment!

I'm going to have to face up to drawing an underwater scene at some point with all my mer characters, not to mention I'm making a little brigade of mermen for *DeletedSound 's aquatic character contest. So far I've put off drawing real sea scenery by just drawing a bit of sand and some waves in the first two pictures, haha. OTL

You're welcome! ^^

Great work on the scenery here! I have absolutely no patience for plants or underwater landscapes, it's terrible. So naturally, I love that aspect of it here! I also love the little tail-curl, it's adorable.

trowicia In reply to temiel [2010-05-18 01:02:18 +0000 UTC]

Aw, thank you so much! X3 Patience is something I struggle with when drawing, haha. Which is why backgrounds and detail usually don't go into my art. But for some reason it's different with underwater scenes. XD

I love seahorses cB I always see them wrapped around things; their tails make them uber-cute.
This is so sweet...I cannot imagine a shark being tender to anyone/thing. Oh, if only; they're gorgeous creatures.

Boyyyys! This is so beautiful, dear. I just love this! I love everything from the scenery, to the sweet way the boys are clinging to each other.

And the textures! Ahh... The details you've managed to put into this are just so astounding.

Enzi is so weeeee~!

trowicia In reply to RoosterBlue [2010-05-16 23:07:50 +0000 UTC]

I'm so happy you like itttt! <3 They have this whole ocean around them, but all they see is each other! That, and they're probably having sex. Or about to. XD

Details are usually a pain for me. XD But I tried to take my time, so I'm so happy you like them, my darling!

Enzi is so wee compared to big, jumpy Diallo. X3 I can just imagine how small Tanu is compared to Sabra. XD And that reminds me, the other day I saw a brand of hummus named Sabra. XD
