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

This is very cool. It's so fun and humorous. I really like the story behind the work, as well.

I know it's not intentional, but I find it hilarious that you tackled the subject of "strange behaviour" with a fantasy reality where people capture amazing flying fish to do their chores, and when they try to run they are suddenly behaving strangely. hahah.
I mean, that's what we do here, in the real world too.
out of all the ways you could choose to create a strange behaviour you made something I find ironic, human idiocy.

It makes me think of Master Miyazaki and his works, especially Howl's Moving Castle, but Spirited Away too. Breathtaking!

Stunning work. I would someday like to be able to pull off something so jaw droppingly good.
Artwork like this inspires me to try and draw something more fantastical. I'm quite the detail whore at heart so it's a pleasure to see so much within a piece of art.
Do you sketch composition on paper first or just draw straight on computer?
