Artist's Comments
Amazon River Dolphin, painted using a photo reference with permission.
Based on Baby at the Duisburg Zoo... not too sure how I did with markings etc., never seen a Boto in person. There doesn't seem to be very much Boto art on dA, and I was looking for a challenge. The colouration was very difficult, as was the texture. I wasn't sure after all the trouble I went to with the colour, whether I should put in water webbing... but in the end I decided it was worth it. Tried the same water method as my previous painting to see if I could replicate it, and so far so good  Really enjoyed this one!   =aVampireTear has a wonderful gallery, including many fantastic photos of Baby  Original Reference Photo can be found here: [link] Comments
 I really love the colors you used here
 !Beautiful work !  Ooo, pretty!
 Great work, I agree, there needs to be more Boto art here on dA. I might have a go myself Luff it!  -- "Captain Slow is up there in his washing machine.

Critiques
The water-webbing is a great effect and is used superbly here. ^^ It makes the dolphin seem more real and actually connected his/her surroundings.
I think the tail could use a bit more work. If you compare it to the rest of the dolphin, it seems less realistic and I think it could use a bit more shading. Otherwise it's awesome
Also as a small touch you could put a few bubbles in; to make the water seem more real. x3
I think this piece is great, and promotes this endangered dolphin. Well done!
