Description Was most fortunate to be asked to write a chapter for the upcoming Digital Painting Techniques Vol. 4 so I painted this as a tutorial piece to demonstrate my approach, painting metals, liquids, calculating reflections and yes, illustrating psychotic pets.

Do not build one of these at home... water and electricity together are not your friend.

Pencil sketch, painted in photoshop.

Thanks! I love working with a limited palette and using a little opposite side of the colour wheel
Cheers!

I can never get over your rendering. It almost looks like you just modeled it. Will have to look out for that tutorial.

Journal entry Catchaser 3000 no.21: day 48
.Found out NOT to connect power supply for the 'cat'tle prods near sources of water.
.The Pickelhaube i ordered from Ebay arrived today.....it accentuates my bad@$$ness....had to go to the door to sign for it. thought i'd take the Catchaser 3000 for a spin just in case 'Miffy' was lurking.
.Great results: cat has been chased (moniker justified). Only problem is i'm not sure if the cat is more afraid of the Pickelhaube or the Catchaser 3000.

Dear Heinrich Von Goldenburg,

You seemed to have left your journal here in our office. We will leave it at reception if you would like to organise to pick it up.
Sincerely yours,

Management

oh great, i'll send my manservant over to pick it up.
i was working on the Catchaser 4000 & i'm pretty sure my journal would've assisted in expediting the work & avoiding the 'enlightening' experiences of the 3000 model

PS. please send a cat (or 2) along with the journal, due to the effectiveness of the Catchaser 3000 i have run out of test subjects (so i have no idea if the 4000 is better or not)
Much appreciated.
yours truly,

Heinrich Von Goldenburg

Amazing. I have no words that can discribe how great I think it looks like. But wait a minute....Is this Klaus from the TV Series American Dad?

Never watched the show. Is Klaus a goldfish with a genius level aptitiude for mechanical engineering, unreasonable chip on his shoulder and delusions of world conquering grandeur?

If the technique involves something more than painting over the numbers with the indicated color I don't think a tutorial will do me much good.

Boy, forget the fish flakes one time and they're off to annex Austria.

'Plane of the Goldfish', 'Return to planet Goldfish'... they have a nice sound to them. Pity Charlton Heston is no longer around to star in the movie adaptions

Possibly a paragraph on the dangers of mixing electricity and water, why goldfish will never rule the world, a 12 point presentation on the technical inaccuracies of such a device or maybe why fried fish is good for your diet?
