The early multiple layer had a nice cloudlike look to it...

Polished up the coelacanth tegaki in OC! Their cute spots looks a bit like stars, don't you think~

How unusual! Wonderfully alive looking.  Would make a nice textile pattern.

I like how they are all bunched together...I dont think that coelacanths are gregarious much tho D: Never see more than one or two at a time!

But still, this is beautiful!

Personal desire:

Add to the edges to that it is an image that can be patterned in some way.

Go to spoonflower.com.

Make fabric.

Sell.

Robotlick [2008-07-22 14:08:45 +0000 UTC]

This is beautiful; a great composition. I love the lighting, the frenzied feel and I love the idea that such a rare, beautiful fish can still find enough of their kind to form a school somewhere, perhaps in a hidden corner of the world. But what I think REALLY makes this so great is that it's a real fish that exists in nature, portrayed it as it looks in nature, but it still has a fantasy feel to it.

It's the best illustration I've seen in a while.

I love the dept of the colours, real mysterious. Yea, they do resemble stars, don't they? Adds to the mysterious, sorta spooky look.

Not really; in Madagascar where it lives the natives pretty much only use their skin, as the flesh tastes awfully

i recruited a female relicanth in my Mystery Dungeon and i named it 'emlan' because you and your coelacanth lurve were the first things that came to mind

Coeeeeelacanths.

I was totally in love with this when I saw it on Tegaki, and now it's 10000x even more awesome. I love how they fade in and out of the background like that...
