Did an edit of a picture by Sirzi, of Smolder and Spike swimming: I removed Smolder's swimsuit, because I prefer my characters unclothed, and let's face it, Smolder's not gonna wear clothing like that. I didn't bother with Spike's, as that would be harder, and there are details I'm not entirely happy with on Smolder, but I'm happy enough to put it out and move on.

I will say, the one thing I don't like about this image is that they're anatomically incorrect: MLP dragons have snakelike bodies with the legs kinda just sticking out, and it bugs me when artists draw them with humanoid hips. I went on a rant about this on my pony Mastodon the other day: https://pony.social/@Raccoon/109997432322072687

I've got to say, I DO appreciate the details under the water: I was a little ways into editing before I even noticed them, because they're subtle, but substantial.

Original was a commission for foxlover91

If anyone wants to mess with it, I'm also making the XCF file public…

Mirrored on Mastodon, and I would appreciate if people fave and boost it there…
