Congrats on 450+!!!! Here is my art for nessie :3 i rlly like these character designs and i wanted to try for one! (why must the image quality be 2 pixels…) lore is in notes & credits!!
Nessie is a sea monster that hides at the bottom of the ocean, but it wasn’t always this way. Long ago, the sea was full of monsters who lived along side of humans. These monsters would help humans who need to fish, travel by ocean, or any other thing pertaining to water. Humans soon grew to be more independent and not reliant on the sea monsters as much as they were, growing to resent them due to recent attacks on their ships by wild sea monsters that were not as domesticated. Nessie was peacefully at the surface one day, taking in the sun. Nessie dived back down, only its tail reaching the surface, but a human off the shore thought that Nessie was trying to go underwater to surprise attack them. The human sped towards Nessie in their boat, a gun in hand to try and defeat this monster. The human shot at the water where there was a shadow, making contact with Nessie. The bullet pierced right through their gills, making them not be able to breathe. The human drove away in their boat boastfully, since sea monsters were hard to come across and Nessie was quite large. Nessie sunk further and further down soon hitting the sea floor. They were still alive somehow, half-dead and half-alive, now roaming the bottom of the ocean fearful of every new noise and every bubble beside them. they/it pronouns or just use their name idk… the orange on the face & leg are meant to be barnacles but the quality is very crunchy
