Description
This was a piece of art I did for the Endangered Ark Card Deck, which can be ordered at:[link]
It's a manatee. Err. Obviously.
I like doing cards occasionally--the teeny format lets you do a close-cropped portrait without guilt.

Dude... this is freaking perfect. So my best friend's birthday is in a week and a day and we have an inside joke about a lonely manatee... It's perfect...

Ooh, great job on this! I love manatees, I swam with them this past spring break and I was lucky enough to swim with a mom and a baby. It was amazing! Great job!

It looks so sad I just want to hug him/her. Not that I would, that would just confuse the manatee, and I try not to hug wild animals. Anyway, great job! Nice detail, and I love the colors you went with. I think all manatee's look sad, so good job there as well.

Awww I love manatees. They're like cute little sea cows. You did a great job with the coloring once again. It kind of adds to that under watery look.
-thumbs up-

Gorgeous manatee: I especially love the way the light shines on his no-neck.
And his eyes: so adorable! My god, I just want to kiss him.

Every time I see these animals I imediatelly think of mermaids. Maybe because of some legends, or other things, but they are truly beautiful. And so is this one.

I think Conan O'Brien has "ruined" manatees for me because of hornymanatee.com
Still though, great pic

It's so adorable! One of my favorite animals! And the details, like the color lighting and the wrinkles in the skin, are amazing!

I wouldn't say he looks sad per se...he looks quite wise and perhaps a little weary. I like him

Okay, this is a freaky coincidence. On Tuesday I was doodling in a lecture and drew a dugong and was trying to remember to check to see if you'd drawn a dugong because I thought one would look cool in your style. And here we are... weird

He looks so sad I love the bold color swatches/swaths, though. And how the water looks like a sky but remains discernibly a water-line. Gives it neat perspective.

Fun fact, from the lecture I Morlocked today: Out of 1,000 mammals, only the Manatee and two species of Sloth have cervical veritbrae other than seven.
(and in humans, C-6 manifesting ribs is synonymous with all kinds of crazy lethalness - everything from a cleft palette to cancer...)
