Will to Protect : Milotic

Milotic ミロカロス  from Pokemon. 
Original design ©Nintendo, Game Freak, Creatures

I've never played Pokemon Ruby or Sapphire far enough to meet Milotic in game, but it's definitely one of my love at first sights.
Was looking for some inspirations and I came across Sa-Dui's Valentines artwork that includes a Milotic and Feebas and it instantly sparked me to do this. However, instead of love as from Sa-Dui's work, I wanted to portray the elegant looking Milotic getting aggressive trying to protect things it treasures dearly. Thus the strong calligraphic brush lines to emphasize the protectiveness.
