Description "I left my pelagic brothers and sisters, seeking the still depths of the black ocean deep. Away from the angry rays of the sun I finally found a calm intense enough to quell my uneasy heart. The wise hermetic fish there were as clear as glass- as if yearning to desolve into the sea water itself. I followed their guidance"

This painting was featured in the magazine ImagineFX #65! [link]

I wanted to see how a human[oid] would look as a transparent deep sea fish type thing. I really like fish head scales, and used those inplace of a skull. I had no idea how I'd go about doing that but I am very happy how this turned out, for once.

This is actually a shapeshifter person from a new storything/idea I'm thinking of.



Photoshop.

very nice...i love how this turned out It seems very realistic as far as a humaniod deep sea fish is concerned and who knows...maybe there are humanoid fish living in the deep with only 1% of the ocean explored you never know.

Like the entirety of your work, there is that undeniably EERIE quality to this piece, and that is what draws me to it the most. Aside from it being a fabulous concept!

Dood. That's freaky. I've never seen someone approach that subject before, and I'm really impressed. I would suggest including some organs, but you've already done so much work. XD Maybe on a later date.

Totally valid point- I *had* rendered some guts, but after awhile they were lost until they're just vaguely pink areas, and I didn't have a way to fix it. I could've found a way but I'm lazy I guess XD

Yeah that was intentional I drew out the figure with what I thought were adaptations - head/neck streamlined, reduced limb length, etc.

This is a really wonderful image, maybe one of my favourite paintings of yours. I have always loved the denizens of the deep, and I've never really imagined a mermaid to be among them.... fantastic concept.

Why do you come up with THE best concepts ever? This guy's so cool, I love phosphorescent deep sea critters, but it's genius that you thought to make a character out of that. Plus it's beautifully done, and the lower half of his torso looks like a photograph. Do moooooar!
