MY HERO! <3
*swoons* Cute! Cute! Cute! That is the best word to describe my Aquatic foal. I love this little guy, plain and simple. If I could, I'd cuddle him, then put him in a bathtub filled with water where I could watch him swim and play with a couple of bath toys. Hehe, Hero really does look like a tadpole while he's swimming. XD
The movement of his pose looks natural, as if to convey childlike abandon. Or, he could have become enchanted with all of those heroic tales told by a member (or members) in his birth Song, and convinced himself that he's invincible, until his own actions prove him wrong, when he suddenly swims into trouble (even though he should've known better). Anyway, the colors are nice and vibrant; they truly reel you in. Considering the distinct shapes for the markings I had described, I give you props for being able to draw them accurately on such a tiny form too. It makes me all the more keen to see how they are going to transfer onto a larger scale when he grows up as an adult.
Sushi, I want to grab your hands and whirl you into a dance, but I am using my own alternately to type my praises and seal-clap in glee!

Thank you so much for doing this custom for me.
Oh, Lv, Mystic of Forgotten Ripples is pretty! It is to my understanding her colours and pattern were based on a cave salamander, right? Well, that is supremely appropriate, given the fact that Illiayrs are an underground species of Samanayr. The colours are calm and ethereal. Pale blue and white harmonizes well with the blacks and darker blues in her mane, mystic strands, and tail, plus having the purple speckles on her back, streaks in her hair, and in her eyes and hooves ties all of those colours together. The bioluminescent glow adds to the mysticism naturally endowed in her. And of course, the look of pure incredulity on Mystic's face is golden, a very telling sign of her personality. Hee, hee, I like it!
Congratulations!
