Just a picture I did because I wanted to draw a bongo. xD
Inspired by a myth I found of them "...When a Bongo is pursued the animal can dive into a river, shed its coat and remain submerged in the river feeding on fish until the dry season". (http://www.probertencyclopaedia.com/cgi-bin/res.pl?keyword=Bongo&offset=0)
Obviously, I didn't add the shedding it's coat part, I just kinda wanted to try for a surreal underwater setting (even though the bongo doesn't look like it's underwater), with the stripes kind of fading into the ripples.
Bongo referenced from a national geographic stock photo, which I sadly can't link. The rest is from my head.
