It looks good! Is that a tiger girl?

You are doing so well with borders! First off I like how you've tied a
border into the picture. Obviously it's true purpose is to frame the scene,
but it is something actually there under sea. It was also an excellent
choice to use the kelp to help with a tight fit around the manatee. It
creates a nice echo to the light, which is getting darker in that same 'v'
form.

The progressively darker light, coupled with the rays does so well to show
we are under water. I would have understood where we are even without the
bubbles. On that subject you have done a good job of filling the background
with just enough wisps of objects to help with creating depth.

Your shading on the girl is much better than your previous humans. I like
how you have kept your style of drawing humans, yet at the same time
progressed in your skill of showing form through more advanced shading.

My only complaint is how dark the manatee is. I think it works well to have
him fairly dark as to create the excellent contrast you have between him
and the girl, but I think the face/neck should be lightened up a lot to
really show your skill in your ability to show his skin/flab. Now as a the
light source goes, both their backs should technically be lighter, but
despite this, I think I would still lighten up the face.

Great job overall. Sexy shading has lead to this probably being my new
favorite!

Simply fabulous. You really know how to deal with colors hehehe... Really great

My biggest wish can come true at anytime, though I'd rather leave it in the hands of God.

This is such lovely picture! I can really feel the effection in the piece they look so peaceful. I imagine a manatee would be one of the very best creatures in the animals world to hug. I really like the detail taken with the little girl and the manatee as well as the way the girl's hair flows in the water. The lighting is brilliant it gives me the feeling that there is a bright sun above the water, which adds to the happy peaceful atmosphere of the piece. I just have to favorite this one
