Dive by Balaa

Dive

Balaa

Something that started as something more humble but decided to grow a bit in scale C:. This is my half of a trade with the very patient and lovely hawaiianstile who made me a beautiful and extremely dangerous sharktooth pendant (and there's really no safe way of storing it, I discovered =D!). Since Keone loves to dive, I knew I wanted to depict his character under water from the start but I just never knew what I wanted to do. As always this started with a bunch of waffling about in photoshop..I got a bit carried away with this piece, but I hope you enjoy it ^_^. I am habitually slow with art trades and hence why I usually don't take them, or if I do, request that the other party finish their half after I finish mine ;D!. The fish are Teardrop Butterflyfish which can be found in the waters around Hawaii.

Also a speedpaint/warmup for this piece can be seen here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/7186707/

    loved this since I saw it on dA, but felt like my comment would drown in the crowd over there XD

    Really well done on the color palette and the light setting, you've manage to make the tiger eye catching but still fit into the environment <3

      Not at all. I often come back to reread comments too and it always lifts me up <8. Thank you for commenting here though, just as much appreciated ^^!

    I can't believe the stuff you call a speedpaint. I see your art and I'm always amazed at the detail work you put into and then i read "speedpaint" and I instantly think "no way!" Great work :3
