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

I love your piece so much. It is an original idea that people can never think of. I really like how you use the fish and created a dramatic situation and it perfectly fit the theme of your challenge!

Yes, I too find being crushed by frenzied gas filled predator fish unacceptable. Haha
Great use of lighting here. The subtle color changes as they are affected by the different colors of light is superb. The distance effects in this a amazing too. Whatever switch flicked on for this picture, leave it on!

Wow, how imaginative, creepy and charming at the same time.
Love the backstory.
(Though, having had goldfish before - I know what fish do. I sure hope *these* fish don't poop as they float along. That could be a problem for the little people below...)
