Description
This was made for CGSociety's "Strange Behaviour" Challenge. The story goes: In vertical oriental cities, gas-filled floating fish are commonly used for cargo transport. Being very docile creatures, they normally create no fuss. They glide slowly though the crowded markets, letting themselves be steered by their drivers to their docking stations deep within the city. But then once in a while a fish panics in the narrow passages and tries to get away, shaking off the little people climbing all over it and tearing down wooden bridges and market stands. Such behaviour is considered unacceptable and most strange. This painting depicts one such event.Related content

uh. Wow! send me a movie when you make it
I love that from that one frame there's a whole post-apocalyptic world, ancient past crossed with distant-future, underground rebels, new outcasts etc etc (in my mind anyway)

Amazing, awesome concept. There's so much going on, but it's not cluttered. I'm just speechless.

This is an amzing picture, you've really given me a feel for how enormous the fish is, and the painting seems to pull you in to a point where you'd think you really were below it. Just hoping nothing falls on you.
Wonderful picture, you did a fantastic job.

Apart from all the detail and the gorgeous colors, I also love that there's a storytelling element to it. It's so much more then just a piece about floating fish. Great work!

Very nice, I love the angle at which this is delivered. The composition is just wonderful, so many things going on but yet they all tie in with one another really gives you this feeling that you're right there watching it happen. I also enjoy how the colors keep getting warmer and brighter as it moves closer to the fish, it really helps to capture your eye and draw it in there..
Nice job!

You visually created the story so beautifully and dramatically.
I love the story that you thought up, it's such an imaginative story and this painting is a colourful, vibrant, eye-opening treat to anyone who sees it.

Wow, wouldn't fancy one of those crashing into my house. How would you explain that one to the insurance company! ^_^

I have no idea. I'm not sure how many insurance agents will believe stories about giant floating cargo fish, but with a good lawyer... hey, anything's possible.
