The most wonderful about this image is that you were out of your element and had the determination to do your best :) I think the blending of your colors is attractive and the characters are very cute. They all have personality and good expressions. I like the humor and creativity too.

This is a great entry to the Under the Sea Contest. I like that your image is telling a story and in the own style. A good presentation with nice movement and a talented and creative colored pencil scene. Good luck in the contest. Creative sketched sea animals with good shading and blending of color. This is very nice work and thanks for sharing!

    Thank you very much for your kind review. Sealife could be very busy, especial in tropical waters, but this one is just fantasy. It is just for fun of the viewers, a metaphor on an artist community. Rainbow -sharks, spotted turtles and painting octopus do not exist. :o)
Comment from Dick Lee Shia


Thanks for accepting Mark's challenge as this is a cute and amusing creation!

I know the degree if difficulty in rendering this one in less than 3 hours!

Nice dialogue exchange...lol!

Funny characterization facial expression...

If I have only enough time & materials, I'd join too!

Best of luck at the polls! I'll vote for this if Mark has the lion's share! LOL!

    Thank you very much for your kind comments, luck wishes and high-golden rating! :o)
    From where you got the three hours? I am not as fast as Mark. I am a slow worker. I needed a lot more time to draw this.

    Hahah! Just a wild guess! LoL!

Well good for you Cleo for accepting the challenge MK put before you!! I have to admit that before I opened this and read your notes I was thinking how wildly different this was from your usual work. Now I understand.

Your piece is very colorful and you've filled it w/ lots of interesting little sea creatures. I particularly like your buck-toothed and colorful shark....your plaid turtle and your almost bird-like yellow fish...lol Made me smile for sure!! Best of luck to you w/ your very fun piece in the contest.

Deborah

    Thank you very much for your throughout and encouraging review. This is indeed wildly different from my usual work. I took a lot of "artistic licence" with those creatures. I am happy you like it. :o)
reply by PeglegDeb on 24-Jul-2017
    lol...well it's all about artistic license I bet w/ one of MK's contests. Look what he does w/ his flowers! Very welcome for the review Cleo.

    Surely that is, what it is about I think. :o)
Comment from SCHATZLING


Well I commend you for meeting your challenge. I think you did a fine job with the humour of it all. I think it is precious. Good for you. I am proud of you. Utilizing colored pencils was perfect for this drawing of yours. I especially like the fish on the left hand side ..... HE has personality that is for sure.

Thank you for entering my contest and for getting out of your comfort zone.

YOU DID GREAT.

    You are more than welcome.
    Sometimes we just have to let lose and try different things....as long as we have fun....that is what counts the most....at least for me.....hope for your too.
Comment from bunkie


Excellent cartoon and literally laughed out loud and enjoyed all your fish characters and the Turtle not a fish-lol. Should do one but would have to censor it or tame it down a little-lol. I think you will do really well, but that's not the thing the thing is,is to have fun. Thanks for sharing

    Thank you very much for your kind comments. I am glad you had some fun with that. You should paint something, even if it has to be tamed. Mark ask me to forward a message to any artist who use excuses and won't participate "Cluck, cluck Chicken!" :o)
reply by bunkie on 24-Jul-2017
    Will give it a go and how about a little Mae West, Hay big boy come down and see me sometime. Trouble is no one knows who Mae West is but works for me. Going now to reserve a spot. Tell Mark he can eat my fried thi and so can you, you little Capon.
reply by the author on 25-Jul-2017
    Why not. Probably more people than you think know who May West is.
    He, He, You can tell that to Mark yourself. ;O}
reply by bunkie on 25-Jul-2017
    No, will let him read it, if he finds it. Guess I am a chicken after all and you are not a Kapon, you are the bird of Shangri-la.
reply by the author on 25-Jul-2017
    Oh, thank you. I take both, the karpon and the bird as complement. They gave me a good laugh. :0)
Comment from MKFlood


So true.. The last contest was only dick and myself. Maybe it's the deodorant that I use.. Sniff sniff..lol. This is still cool Cleo. The body forms and language is great. The depth us good. The details is great. The blend of color is great. The creation is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. Creative and great job overall. Hey when you get reviews on this from our fellow artist tell I said..."cluck cluck CHICKEN!"..lolol
