Whee! A new picture concept this time (an with more colours!).
This was a design for the Cutis Cataractas tadpole design. First, I thought of an embryo-fish like creature with huge eyes and which swims through the oceans before the metamorphosis starts.
But then, things changed and the embryo got a skirt made of jellyfish.
This picture looks now more or less like an anthro-jellyfish or a little girl, whose skirt is neverending. But when you fullview, you can see that below the membrane is a little body with arms and legs, fingers and fins. The whole body is covered with this gallert like membrane and you can see the organs of this little creature.
The organs look kinda misplaced, especially the brain in front of the heart and liver and all on the head. The tadpole doesn't have any muscles yet, which explains the transparent body parts, nerved by veins and the upbuilding senews for the finish.

It seems as if the little "female" creature fears the jellyfishes, which surround her. But they seem to like the company with it maybe because of all the fishes, which are allured by the glowy nettles of the meduse-fish-tadpole-creature.
The long nettles are really long and look like a housing for the smaller jellyfishes. But it has to go it's own way. Maybe they will follow, maybe not.

Meduse Dream is a picture I really enjoyed and which was actually random. I started it this afternoon and finished it now. All in all, it took me 4 hours only. The picture looks more or less quite sketchy but I am really pleased with the result and the fact that I used more than one colour again.

Please full view to see all the details of the creature!

Thank you a lot!

Very pretty. I really like how you can see some of her organs shimmering through, it really adds to the fragile yet creepy look.
