Hello there~ I'm looking for some art for me and my pal @ROOSTER

Maniitok & Sialuk

[ PLEASE CLICK FOR LARGE IMAGE ]
They are mythical creatures that are based half on the Celtic legends of the selkie and half on finfolk/merfolk. They have human torsos from the waist up, but from the waist down, they have the bodies of whatever creature they are. Their animal parts are from the animal's shoulders and down, so they posses the animal's front flippers and back flippers. See the pictures above for accurate references.
[ art by ROOSTER - da best artist ever ]

Maniitok Info

ROOSTER's character.
Maniitok is a rugged old Walrus who adopted Sialuk when he found him as a tiny, fuzzy pup in the snow. He is a ladies man, attracting the attention of a good number of walrusfolk females. He is also really chubby, having a hefty amount of blubber to keep himself warm in the icy water.

Sialuk Info

KeTTu's character.
Sialuk is a young Spotted Seal who was adopted by Maniitok. He is a total teenage punk, a huge brat. He's got little bone piercing through his nose as well as some in his left ear. On his shoulders, hips, and up his sides, there are faint leopard-like spots. There are also some on the sides of his head where the hair is shaved close to the skin. You can draw him with or without the tattoo on his left shoulder, there is no preference as long as his natural spots are still visible.

I'm not sure why nobody has drawn for you yet, @. Personally I quite like this concept. The characters are so different as well. :/ Oh well.

Sorry for the sketchiness, and I hope you like him~

Erm... I'm not sure why you would ask me this here, but I designed him using a Subeta Human Avatar generator and modified some of the items' colors with a photo editing program... Why do you ask, especially on a thread not even dedicated to him?

@ and @

I've drawn Maniitok. I hope you like iiittt. I did the best I could with the scars, since I wasn't sure about where they were placed and whatnots. Also, I made an album for a Maniitok, and I put his lineart and a colored version without scars and a verion without hair and whatnot in there in case you didn't like the final product I came up with, so you could tweak it yourself! You can get to that here: http://photobucket.com/ManiitokbyLimeyMan If you have just a few tidbits and would like me to fuss with the picture, please ask and I'll see what I can do.

(I love your guysss)

Thank you! I have also drawn Sialuk. He was a bit difficult with me, but I got him done! I hope you like him, too. Since you said you liked seeing the art progress thingers, I made one for him at http://photobucket.com/sialukbylimeyman, but since there wasn't so many layers to him there's only like three pictures ;w; 'M sorry.
