A Mar'leanth-Lu! Yay! I have made another species apart from the Lurkers--they are called the 'Lu'. They are recognized by their illongated bodies, whiskers, and antler-like extensions from the back of the head ^^. I will update this description with a full detail of the species later when I have time to jot it all down. Until then, you'll just have to live with this piccy!
Oh, and btw, ignore the bg. I tried making it look like the Lu was underwater, but it turned put pretty badly ... But oh well... I tried, right?

The background really isn't bad. It's a lot better than I can do with water, lol. Anyway, I simply love the design on this beautiful creature. The detail is awesome, and he's just so cute, in a sea-dragon sort of way lol. ( I'm sorry if i'm ruining it, lol... I just like dragon-like creatures...) Anyway, I love the colors too. GReat job!
I think you nailed the underwhater effect, the reflection of light casting down looks great. You probably should have added some air bubbles and such to finish the under water look. Even without it, it looks awesome as usual.
I absolutely love the Lu's design the really long distended body is perfect for an aquatic species, it looks like it is very fast and powerfully built for the watery environment. Awesome job on the patterning it reminds me of a lion fish, one of my favorite salt water fishes. I love the fins, the double dorsal fin is a nice design, great sabilizer ^^ The mall pectoral like fins on the tail are a nice touch too. The long whiskers, horns and dark finy apendages on the back of their head are a nice design touch. There is a wonderful sense of movement in this piece too you can really believe that this is a live creature, like he's going to just swim off the page.
I think the background is wonderful, you really captured the underwater lighting beautifully! Nice sense of weight and fluidity to the water.
I just want to take one home with me ^^

O.o you're right. he does kinda look like a maraquan draik. proly cause both use the colors and patterns of the lionfish ^^. both are also based off of the Lung, the oriental dragons ^^. Have you seen the new darigan hissi? It's cool looking. not posted yet, but I've seen it . if you have aim, i could send it to you if you haven't see it already. it's small, but you get the basic idea.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.

Kinda reminds me of a Maraquan Draik, or maybe what a Maraquan Hissi would look like.
