Leafy Sea Dragon

I made this little sea dragon a while ago using designer 6 mainly for the outline work and another program for the digital painting. At first I didn't know how it was going to look but hoped for a pleasant effect. I'm fairly pleased with it and thought it would make a nice card or something.

Here's a link for anyone interested in the little creature of the sea.

Thanks for looking :)

Nicely done Michele, I like the looser more painterly effect.

That didn't start out as a doodle by any chance?

Fun image.

Thanks for the nice comments Larry and Garry.
No, it didn't start as a doodle, but I like the calligraphy effect with the lines. I thought the black and white image seemed to need colour to break up all the leafy parts, as it looked like quite jumbled towards the bottom.
