New Fish Doodle

Finally got around to making another fish illustration, this time based a Super Red Texas cichlid owned by someone here in the cities. Here's the real deal:

Fish #4

Here's the latest finned fiend, a Blood Parrot. These fish are a manmade hybrid. Really cool blaze orange color and funny stumpy body. Inspiration, Bryn's Parrot:

Fish #3

Here's fish numbah 3. If the last one had ice powers, then this one can harness the power of fire. This coloration of fish what's called a "fader." They start out the normal brown color, like the first fish I made, then they "fade" to this orange/yellow/white hue. Good looking fish. And here's our fire and ice duo.

And I probably should include the actual fish:

Fish #2

Here's the latest fish painting. Owen says this one has ice powers. I'm going to do a bunch of fish I think, which will be different for me. Never really done a series before so it should be fun. This painting is simpler than the last one, but I think I like it more. It's a bit more geometric, I like that.

This particular fish belongs to a friend of mine here in the cities. He's one of the highest quality fish around. His entire body is covered in a light blue/iridescent sheen.

Fishy Tribute

I bought this fish as a pet/show fish a year ago and he was 2" long. At about 8" I gave him away and from there he grew to 10 inches and then just up and died a couple weeks ago. Here's a photo journal of the fish, from 2" to 10" in one year's time.
