First of all, If you don't like anthros, kindly don't point this out, as it is NOT a critique to tell me it would be better without something in the picture just because you personally don't like the theme. Second, this is a fantasy picture, and I wasn't going to add the surface lights at first- but whilst watching "Blue Planet" I realized that, often, deep sea creatures come to the surface to breed or feed, so it's not impossible for this meeting to have taken place somewhat near the surface. At least, no more impossible than an angler fish that's bigger than a person

I don't think I've ever drawn a. anything involving water/the ocean b. an octopus/octopus tentacles or c. an anglerfish!! But I LOVE all three of those things ^.^ So this was super fun to do

Trade with Her character, Kailani bumping into a distant cousin (or something like that), the angler fish. The angler fish's bioluminescent 'lure' is actually an extention of their spine, which they use to capture prey. Prey of which can still be devoured even if twice the size of the fish.

Wonder if she's hungry or just curious of this strange octowolf hybrid?

I love deep sea creatures, I thought drawing her character would be a good first try at one of my favorites, my first fave being the giant isopod, which I plan on drawing as well at some point Anyways, hope you like ~gadzoox
