Lol. I was thinking it looked like either a Moray eel or an electric eel. Either way it's nice to see a pros humble beginnings :-)

I think it's an eel-like sea dragon.

NIGHTMARE MORE: Use only the exact same colors from the pic. No animation or transparency.
Only the size wont be able to be the same because of challenge rules limit.

Work in progress, trying to go for a glow in the dark fish kind of thing. Struggling with the background, maybe I'll leave it one color. going to work on shadows/highlights.
