Description Listened to the Owl City song "How I Became the Sea" the whole time I worked on this thought it was rather fitting. I just did this cause I love crabs and this was the most graceful way I could turn Kona into a shelled friend.

June was the lobster shell I dug by hand
A haven that hid me well beneath the sand
The wide windy waves washed in, but I stayed dry
The great breakers broke again, as I nodded off inside

And then, when the Empress ran aground,
And my eyes turned blue and green,
I heard a gorgeous sound,
And that's when it became a dream
When the sky fell in,
When the hurricanes came for me,
I could finally crash again,
And that's how I became the sea

I wrenched the engines off and drank them down
The depths turned the iron soft as they swiftly drowned
And I brought the ocean side to its rusty knees
As I felt the eventide deep in my shallow dream

This is absolutely stunning, keia I love the colours and style! I'd love to see another version of this where you do her in her summer colours and make the conch palette similar. This is soooo beautiful!

This is really beautiful, I love the design of the shell, and the varying weight of the line-work is wonderful.
