Humbly requests for more amphiseidon

Okay um- this was gonna be series of sketches, but I had this idea ever since seeing Neal's concept Amphitrite (which has only been this image). Ever since I felt the urge to make her.. gigantic.. but I like her being the size of the average god, but remembered the Gods just shapeshift so-

I made this..

I hope you don't mind that I use this ask to ramble:

This Amphitrite of mine is the version that she (and the other Nereids) is born of Nereus & Doris. I chose this version because of the lineage being more interesting to me & how I depict her here. Though who knows, I might switch to Oceanus because he's a titan. But I chose Nereus because he is "The Old Man of the Sea" and Doris is Okeanid nymph (so really it just moves her down a generation from Oceanus daughter to his granddaughter). But Nereus's father is Pontos, the Primordial God of the Sea & husband to Thalassa (his counterpart as Primordial Goddess of the Sea). It just makes her ancestry more interesting to me. And Pontos is depicted with crab claws on his person, like Amphitrite.

And because of all this big tie to water, I would assume she's more skilled with the element than Poseidon, since he inherited the Sea. Not to mention that she is just sometimes referred to as the entire ocean, making her a literal body of water (haha). And that's where this form ties in. I'm sure she could cause quite the damage if she wanted to, but I like to think it's not in her nature & that she's just the calmer seas. If anything, I think she's more patient in this form of hers, which is why her hair is more flowy than curly. Her tail is also based on Nereus's. So she shares that with her father :]

The only thing to remain on her person is her crown, located in her center. I like to think her grandfather Pontos bestowed it onto her as his eldest granddaughter. I also think it'd be cute that if Poseidon wants to find her (when her body is literally just water flowing anywhere), he'll look for her crown & that's where she'll be.
