Thanks for commenting angel, the eyes at a second glance do seem quite large in proportion to it's head, but there is a reason that I have done them relatively large.

Obviously the further you go down underwater the darker it gets. It probably comes to a point when eyes are barely needed as there is almost no light at all. However, my creation will not be going quite this deep, it will be relying on it's good eyesight to look above for prey, so bigger eyes are needed in order to capture as much light as possible.

Check out the pic below, found on a google search for 'deep sea'. It seems I'm not too far off with what I have so far, although I may scale them down horizontally more like these on this chimera pup.

Anyway might do a couple more concept drawings now, and fiddle with the eyes some.
