SciFi and Fantasy Art: Newborn to the waters

This is my first watercolour in ages, mostly because my previous ones have been horrible. Actually it's two pictures, I painted the baby the day after and cut it in using photo shop. Can you tell? It looks a bit faded scanned, but never mind...The creature is actually one which my brother commissioned for his homepage (but without the baby). It's called a Shisavaar Mantea (but my bro calls it a dragon).

wow, you managed to capture the feel of the slow, graceful movement seen in underwater creatures, such as whales (which these remind me of), perfectly. doing this in a still medium is no mean feat! and you can feel the bond forming between mother and child, it almost looks like it could be a shot from a documentary, with david attenboroughs breathy voice (if you don't know who he is, ask someone!) saying "and here, we see the wonders of nature, in this - touching seen, between mother, and child. this, is a rare moment to catch on film, as the Shisavaar Mantea is a shy creature, rarely seen by man. this, for the Shisavaar Mantea, is what life is all about. the passing on of genes, so that theirs, may survive, the passing, of generations." sorry about the length of that, got a bit carried away...that's such a good picture! your wonderful with water colours...2
