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

Awesome painting! Reminds me of The Fifth Element! Or should that be... wait for it... The FISH Element!

This is an incredible art-piece! Right up there with the crazy stuff you'd see in the movie Mirror Mask for instance, just really wild world. I'm digging this pretty good, this is great! Docile fish, those things are terrifying even before they open their mouth to reveal rows of pointed flesh shredding teeth. XD

Very good and great backstory, but at first I didn't quite understand that it's tearing down the building. Maybe some falling pieces of wood and dust would help.. I'm just saying.

Awesome!! Terrific view point. I like mixture of the earth tones used. The awnings and plants remind me of Venice or Paris.
Nicely done.

outstanding work. Brings to mind hayao miyazaki films and their storytelling style. Your techniques are fabulous and I love the composition - you've brought in plenty of detail but none of it is tiresome or overwhelming. Simply brilliant!
