Description

And there it is: my first male character that actually looks like a man (almost) :D

So, no backstory for this guy, but let me add some lore to the piece.

Neptune is a Demon of the Blue (Blue being both an alternate dimension and the energy that runs within it and allows magic to be performed in the human world). A demon, in the Blue world, is a creature originated from various sources, being them the Blue itself or the corruption of a living being, and can belong to different power classes.
Neptune, for example, is a Demon of the Blue, superior ranking that indicates a long permanence in direct contact with the Blue, thus leading to the creation of an own little dimension inside of the Blue itself. His pocket dimension consists in a huge environment completely filled with water, with no surface and ruins on the bottom, where there's hardly any life form except for him.
Now, a demon is generally cruel, pitiless and has little to no interest in preserving life outside of the Blue or their dimension. However, there are exceptions, and one can understand how far from humanity a demon is by looking at their appearance and what they're wearing: if a demon wears clothes or human accessories, like earrings, necklaces or even chains, it usually means that their destructive instinct isn't much developed, and that they could find themselves next to a city without wanting to destroy it immediately.
A demon is also corrupted, to the point that their flesh hardly sticks to their bones, so often they take some animal characteristics, which are more stable than a full human form. Also, the more powerful a demon is, the more their eye color is close to blue.

Short version: Neptune is a Demon of the Blue, higher in ranking than most of the others; doesn't wear any piece of clothing or human ornament, meaning that he doesn't feel close to other life forms (especially humans); has an own pocket dimension and green/blue eyes, making him quite powerful; his top half of the body is very human like, so he's also intelligent; he's got animal features (specifically abyssal fish characteristics) and his tail bones are exposed, indicating that he's powerful, but has not enough control to maintain a full form.
Not the most powerful demon, but powerful enough to need a very skilled priest or mage to be safely evoked.

So, what do you think? :meow:

Tools used: black pen (lineart only), colored pencils and white gel pen on white paper.

Come sempre colori benissimo sia lo sfondo che il soggetto :)
La coda è "creepy" e "cool" mi verrebbe da dire xD
