Super cool!  I think this is the first breaching basal ichthyosaur I've seen.

This guy really must've went deep down to get that kind of momentum. Great depiction, love the pose


my only critic would be about the water. Surrounding the splash would be choppy, but you would get much smoother. And under the Grippia, there shold be tiny droplets and splashes from the carried water. Hopefully I was of good assistance

Спасибо! Только с водой немножко не то, ну и ладно, в след. раз лучше будет. Всё-таки редко до этого рисовал животных в окружении.

Thank you! I'll have to do some more drawings with primitive ichthyosaurs.

Impressive jump! I really like the pose of the animal and the work on the perspective. The splashing water effect looks really nice but I think the water surface could use a bit more work in general (in my opinion the ripples look a bit too regular and similar to each other).

Thank you! I know the water was not quite perfect, but this is my first job like that. Thank you for the advice.
