A sketch of the Loch Ness Shower, inspired by Sgt.Moose's critter and this ladle. :P Might add more details if it's a bit too bland for others, since it's just a sketch for now.
A general comment: I personally tire of marine, more fish-based designs since we've had Volkraken and Plasmanta as the past two CAPs. I'll take a lot to get me interested in them, but if you think you have a successful-enough idea, give it a shot. :)

- PixelMoniac_: Fits Water- and Steel-typing nicely. I can see it using Dragon Dance and Calm Mind. The two design elements work together quite well! :)
- Knirp: Cute and creative is what I have to say. :) Lovely use of contrast to show the types well. I would say, if you can, to make the bluish body more than a tube with fins at the end, though. Some texture or lateral asymmetry would give the creature more interest instead of just the scuba gear.
- hendrix96: Hmm, Cawmodore already has an anchor incorporated in its design, so there might be redundancy there. :/ Does it have to be an anchor?
- Integer Mova: Great choice of inspiration! I wish the design was a little more obvious that it was a turtle, though--maybe just change the perspective so the shell is a bit more clear. Otherwise, I'm not seeing turtle at first glance.
- aXl: Cool inspiration and solid drawing. Overall great sketch. It doesn't 'wow' me in particular, though, but still, it's solid.
- Golurkyourself: Your design hits all of the marks I'm looking for--Water/Steel, plausibly using Dragon Dance/Calm Mind, and a creative creature of origin! The only thing I'm not as fond of is the design itself. XD It reminds me of inflatable balloons, since it's smooth, shiny, and has 'painted' patterns on the skin. Still, with what you have right now, I definitely love the drawing.
- Sgt.Moose: Aww, it's cute. C: It fits what the CAP is looking for, no? I like that 90-degree bend and how artificial it is, conveying Steel-type well. Also, that pipe vs. its bulging body is a great contrast! I'd personally use brighter or alternative colors rather than Water blue and Steel gray. It's quite mundane that way.
- Sunfished: Neat-o. Creative choice of colors for the typing. :) I think the head is interesting enough--no need to add superfluous detail.
- Magistrum: Clever integration of physical/special attacking. Great design. A little bit more complex than what I'd prefer, but that probably can't be helped with the Steel-type plating. Excellent. ouob
- Igloo the Almighty: Hmm, submarine fish fits under my umbrella of uninspired. How much are you willing to change the drawing? Currently, the wobbly lines and misaligned pose don't do it technically for me. :/ The design itself also feels... well, a bit lacking, compared to some other art in this thread, to be honest.
- justinjiaxinghu: Fits the CAP. Not bad. ouob We do have a land narwhal CAP, though, so just be aware of repetition among designs.
- Doran Dragon: Cool! Neat design, and I like your choice of colors both before and after. Mercury is a nice idea for Water/Steel, for sure, but it's harder to understand that in your drawing with your new choice of colors. On the other hand, the old palette may be considered bland. I kinda prefer the old palette since overall, the design loosely reminds me of Plasmanta. >__>
- Slapperfish: I'd use some more shading to get across that the fish is Water/Steel rather than Water/Rock. It reminds me of a rocky coelacanth otherwise. For a staple remover, I'd hook the teeth backwards some more.
- HeaLnDeaL: Ah, now here's an interesting concept. I wouldn't associate llamas with water and steel. How'd you come up with the design in the first place? I'm curious. If possible, I'd make the design less overtly a llama dressed in ninja garb. I'm thinking of how Cobalion is wearing armor, but it's well-integrated into its body structure. Do you think you can do something like that here?
- KAIZA: Really nice drawing! :) I love the use of line thickness to give that sense of 'it's huge and looming above you from the ocean surface'. The inspirations integrate together well in your design. I think that the anchor on the side of the head is a little artificial of a marking. We have Koffing/Weezing, yep, but Gen. VI Pokemon don't have that sort of thing--feel free to respond if I'm missing something there. I wholly like your drawing. :) We have a squid CAP in the form of Arghonaut already, though, and we have Volkraken as an octopus, just to warn you. That might dampen interest in another design of a similar nature.
- Bramblestein: Cute idea, but is a manatee with a propeller on its back that organic of a design? It's a bit artificial for me. If that fan can be incorporated more, I'd like it more.
- Otter Power: I'd go for the otter if only because I'm tired of marine animals. XD Well, not just that; it also looks more like the type to use Dragon Dance and Calm Mind.
- aim: I'd have to say that PixelMoniac_'s battlewhale eclipses yours, at least with the current image. Sharpening lines would bring it closer to par, but design-wise, I prefer PixelMoniac_'s.
- Key: It's an unusual fish that does little to interest me as a design. o3o
- RiCH HOMiE CHRiS: I actually think this design could become worthwhile if more effort was invested into making its lines clearer and sharper. Of course, the design would preferable be less piecewise. What is exactly happening in the gray area? I'm not seeing what it's meant to be.
- Emvee: All of the attention in your design seems concentrated at that snail shell helmet. If the body were more clear in the art rather than being obscured by the cape, I might say otherwise.
