#sea kelpie

[montereybayaquarium]

Imagine diving in the chilly waters of Monterey Bay to experience the textures of underwater plants and animals.

What do you think touching smooth, wavy grooves (new band name?) of a blade of kelp feels like?

Or the rough and tough exterior of an abalone shell?

How about the teeny pointed toes of a hermit crab as they tickle the palm of your hand?

Anyone can have these magical experiences at the Aquarium's touch pools, no diving experience necessary! What would you explore at our touch pools?

Rɪsɪɴɢ Wᴀᴛᴇʀ.

A particularly vile creature, and one considered by most to be even older than the faeries.

Behaving more like a sea monster than its traditional brethren, this kelpie remains beneath the blackened waters of coastal tides, patiently waiting for foolish waders and fisherman to enter its range. Its tentacles effortlessly grasp unwary limbs, and its massive canines shred waterlogged flesh, leaving not even the smallest scrap to be found.

↠ After quite a wait, I’ve finally completed this design revamp. The original idea for this unique kelpie is from way back in 2017, and I’d always planned to return to it, to flesh out the concept in full. I think this turned out well, considering how many odd parts needed to be jammed together into one body.

There are several projects I always have going, and since Tavern Stories is so long and all I am also working on this shorter comic to premiere my work along with a coloring book with a narrative I've wanted to do for years on my friend John's suggestion. I do love me a good kelpie and had fun with the dapple look. ^_^ Parts of it were done way back when I was in school and re-drawn for this.
