May I present Mango, an alien species of sea otters created and developed by
SilverKitsu.
As she is a strong swimmer, food is naturally *fish*. But obviously fish that can feed her huge appetite!

I am just awed by the impressive work on her clothing. It actually looks (and appears to be moving/flowing like) like real cloth, and even manages to look like it's a long sheet designed at micro scale rather than a small sheet at macro scale by how thin the fabric appears.
Also quite creative how her outfit appears to be fashioned out of materials off of boats (very nice attention to detail with the ropes, hooks, and anchor holding it all together like that).
I remember seeing this character long ago on silverkitsu's gallery, but had forgotten about her. She looks so cute in your style.

I really like how this turned out over all, the only things that kinda irk me are her eyelashes (the round things on top are a little distracting) and the left side of the right cloth in her hips looks a little off, but maybe that's just me, so please don't take this to heart!
But now for the stuff that really impresses me : The angle! I have tried before myself and because of that can relate to how hard it can be to draw a slanted picture (but in my opinion it also is tons of fun!) and you even managed to fit in a natural looking frogs eye perspective that's beyond impressive! And for a sketch the detail you already put into this is astonishing, especially on the wrecked ship all that rope, the lifeboat and all that... just wow! I also despite the aforementioned really like the design of her clothes, looking at my character may tell you that I like flowy (Is that a word?) clothes, and these here actually look like something you can wear while swimming. I used to swim a lot when I was little and even was a member of the DLRG (a sort of German lifeguard thingy) so I know how hard it is to swim clothed. And these look like they wouldn't be that much of a hindrance. And don't even get me started on the subject matter itself ^^ I love the way you portray macros, how they interact with the environment you put them in, all the little details like footprints really emphasize her massiveness. And on a more personal level her holding a whale (is it a blue whale or a humpback?) really hit home with me because I usually really enjoy such displays of ... power? I don't really know how to call it.
I really hope that one day i will be able to commission you for a picture as well, but for now I'll just keep my eyes peeled until you announce it in a journal or something :)
Continue the great work, I so far enjoyed all of your uploads since I started watching you :)

haha, i take any advice and criticism in a positive manner. The eyes are Silver's design, they are a key
detail that are part of his character. About the hips, I dont think I quite understand.
Let me hint to you a little trick about the slant. The original is straight. I apply the slant afterwards to give a little more of a "live" feel. Very much like the steady movement of a camera in a movie. It makes things a little more life like and less of an artificial set.
The whale she is carrying is an attempt on a blue whale. Originally, Mango was suppose to be a lot taller, hence actually holing a light house. Now, this has raised me a question, is bigger always better?
The sails used as a small robe, and a source of food I felt would be interesting to develop. Thus, reducing her size a whole lot.
Thank you for the very kind comment, and the support :)
And sure, i would be thrilled to draw for you one day. I will definitely let you know when I am available. Cheers!
It was grand to see this one develop, something a lil fresh :D
As I said before, that sailing ship comes close to stealing the show! Such intricate detail in the background...then the eye sees the greater detail on the character design. A scream job for sure ;)
And dem paws 8D A good angle
