Deep One Conceptby *Ito-Saith-Webb

DescriptionDetailsShare
I think their predominant color was a grayish-green, though they had white bellies. They were mostly shiny and slippery, but the ridges of their backs were scaly. Their forms vaguely suggested the anthropoid, while their heads were the heads of fish, with prodigious bulging eyes that never closed. At the sides of their necks were palpitating gills and their long paws were webbed They hopped irregularly, sometimes on hind legs and sometimes on four . . . their croaking, baying voices held all the dark shades of expression which their staring faces lacked.
H.P. Lovecraft~

This is a character work up for a much larger composition I am working on and I wanted to make sure I had the design all settled.

I like this one, slightly more amphibian than fish but very good. Nice use of labels to show us his poison gland.

Hmm, veins, belly button, and lack of scales make it look mammalian while the tales and fins are amphibian looking and the face is...fishy. It's an interesting concept but for you to put some information behind this one would really fascinate me.

Ya this was really just my interpretation from the Lovecraft's book which really had them coming off a bit frog like but I wanted to keep that fish like quality as well.
