~22 cm in length.
I took my time with this commission. I wanted to capture the elegance of the creature and not be fooled by the simple lines. So I waited with the seemingly simple structure.
Then when it came to colouring him, I took more time to think. I experimented with the colour tried to capture something of the magnificent patterns and colours.

You are amazing! He's gorgeous, and the tie-dye is the perfect background.

Outstanding job; the paintwork is particularly impressive, especially on the carapace and flippers! I also agree with Scylla that the tie-dye pattern background does a wonderful job of capturing the look of an underwater environment.
