Neptuneby *MelissaFindley

Digital Art / Drawings & Paintings / Fantasy

Neptune, sort of. I had no idea where this was going, but thanks to some steering from my Ustream audience--who were insistent on tentacles, mermen, and things on fire--here's the result.

I painted this from beginning to end, live, on Ustream. You can watch the progress, though it's pretty long.

Holy crap,

Wow! Thanks so much for the DD (^archanN and `duhcoolies). Thank you to everybody who has favorited this or commented on it, too. I can't possibly thank each of you individually, but I do read all your comments and appreciate them.

Neptune by *Mercuralis - The intricate details, the lighting and everything about this gives it a surreal look and feel. Awesome work. ( Suggested by `duhcoolies and Featured by `archanN )

Regardless of how the direction came about, it is your talent there in this picture, and what you have done here in your imagining of this aquatic male is nothing short of truly inspired and beautiful. Images like this are why I scour Deviantart looking for artists, this is truly amazing and impressive, period.
