Description

Here he is! I like some things about the way it came out, but I'm less pleased with other aspects. He doesn't really look underwater, because he doesn't become less contrasty further from the viewer. I tried for hours to get it to look that way, but it wouldn't come out right. The composition's kind of boring, too. I didn't really think it out when I started drawing. Also, I've realized how much of a crutch textural detail is for me. Without the wrinkles and bumps in his skin, this wouldn't look very good at all. Speaking of textures, the wing membranes don't look at all realistic, I just made up the texture. That won't do. Anyway, sorry to go on and on, hope you enjoy. Critiques obviously welcome.

If you read the Stories of HP its kinda hopeless
to draw him anyway.
Its a Beast that dwells in a City which has
by definition more than 3 Dimensions ...
So it can be assumed he got some of that too.

Else i can agree with your own observations ,
Underwater effects could be achieved by blurry streaks
in front of him too i guess.

But other than that i think hes pretty well painted, nice details, odd colours (also an aspect i always
imagine in HP Stories additionally to the odd
Dimensional stuff).
So all in all not bad job on a OLD ONE.
