Artist's Comments

Thank you so much for the daily deviation! I'm honored, and it's very encouraging for me to create more for you guys!!

This character started out as a sketch in my sketchbook. As some can tell, I have a passion for underwater creatures and environments. This was an experiment in Photoshop as far as painting techniques. The character is my own work, but the background is a manipulated photograph I found on google (note: this is the first and only work I used a photograph - after completing this, I decided it would be more rewarding to paint the background myself).

This creature is part of a species I am creating. They have a story that I will reveal through my future illustrations! One day I may start a graphic novel, but only once I have a developed style... so experimenting I go!

Thanks again everyone ^_^

Amphibianman Stingoray8u isn't very well known - but with abilities like this - he should be! it's not often I we see amphibian anthros with such originality. (Suggested by ~Astarin and Featured by `cooley)

Wow, amazing pic! :omfg:
I love the way that you drew his pose, you're very skilled at anatomy! :D
His expression and look in his eyes, really sets the mood, it's great! :aww:
Also, the texture to his skin is simply awesome, it looks like an actual amphibian!:clap:

.....This is gonna sound pretty random and stupid, but the bubble on the back of his head (Which is well-drawn, it reminds me of a frogs througt when they puff up!) seems like it could just ';pop' if I poked it with a pin! :excited:
~Sorry, but I just had to say that! :paranoid:

Great design and idea! :boogie:

wow thank you very much! - in my early sketches, this guy had a nautilus shell for a brain and it would glow (ive got these shells glowing in some of my atlantis renderings), but i really like the moving frog throat idea! i might incorporate that into my future amphibianmen ^_^

thanks again!
