Contest Entry - Portuguese Dog O' War

That is, an Angler Dog that's a cross between a Portuguese Water Dog and a Portuguese Man O' War! I'm really happy with the palette on this lovely boy haha. This is an entry for a contest that DeUyuni is holding for their closed species, Angler Dogs!

This is Vinicius (name might change but I've been calling him "Vin" / "Vini" for short), an Angler Dog that keeps close to the surface of the water (this dark background is just to show all of his pretty tentacles!), his fin often sticking out like a sail. He's rather quiet, severe, and stern, and he keeps to himself, given how potent his venom is. His whole body can tint a slightly pinker shade when he's very embarrassed or the rare occasion that he's fired up with anger, to reflect the different colors of man-o-war that can be found! His hair and tentacles tear very easily, but they grow back in time. He's quite weak to compliments, despite his standoffish nature! They make him happy even if he tries very hard to hide it.

I also made a transparent version, but I'll save that for my toyhou.se when I upload him! <3
