Dorsal by Lionus (1998)

In the Shimmering Blue Depths

A dolphin-type character done as a comission.

While extremely graceful, I find aquatic characters difficult to conceptualize. Maybe it is because I can not imagine myself being able to swim at all well without legs but by waving my lower body up and down to propel myself through the water. Hmmm, I would probably get a great set of abs doing that so I suppose it would not be all that bad. ;) But aside from that, I like the way this picture turned out, especially the bubbles and the underwater lighting which turned out looking kinda cool.
