Description
This is Spot. His name shall be Spot and Spot he shall be named.Spot now sits beside my computer monitor and glares at me because he apparently hates my music. I can't say I blame him, I'd probably hate my music, too.
He also likes to try and attack my finger through the glass and swims to the top of the tank every few minutes to see if I fed him. Spot is a greedy fish.
I needed a buddy for my make-shift office, so Spot came home with me today. I thought I was getting a blue/purple Betta, but because Petsmart people are bastards and put food coloring in their water, I wound up with a purple/red Betta. But that's just fine because he is Spot and Spot is mine.
I needed a break and so I broke out Painter and whipped this little baby up. I had sooo much fun doing it. It's far from perfect and I know that the anatomy isn't correct. But meh, I just wanted to doodle. And it turned out well enough, so here it is. By the way, the swirlies in the background are totally stolen from =Andoledius . Obviously her swirlies pawn mine a thousand times over but shh. We'll just pretend I have talent. ...yes I know I should have put some red/purple in the background to tie the image together. Shh. Pretend I have talent, damn you!
...by the by, for those wondering, he's called Spot because he has a spot by his tail fin. See? There! *points to it* ...I was going to give him a real name, but Spot seems to have won out. So Spot he shall be.

How beautiful. ^_^ I had a couple of betas for a while there. One was blue, the other one was red... it was pretty sad, they both died around the same time. But they did live for three or four years.
The swirlies still rule even if you stole them XD
And the colors are wonderful. ^^

I want to eat/have your fish.
And the water looks like creepy eyes.

I dont like fish, they scare me. This fish however looks so alone, I would hug him if they didnt creepy me out so much.
Beautiful use of cool and warm colours and I love the soft blending.

Oooooh! He is a PRETTY betta - purple/red bettas are quite lovely. And he sounds like he has quite a personality. X3

Spot is very handsome. I love the paint style here. I thought it was a painting on paper/canvas, like.. traditional! It looks wonderful. (:

Painter is an incredible program for that. I actually had to reduce the distinction of brushstrokes before posting it up because it was too built up.

Holly had one called Carnage! He went missing and we found him on the floor 2 days later still alive. put him back in the water but he did not last more than another day. Keep a lid on your one. He look hungry

Sorry about poor Carnage.
