Would I be wrong in saying that your art reminds me of Alex Grey? The guy who does a bunch of the cover art for TOOL's albums.
Very very neat and cool stuff, that requires a lot of patience i bet

I don't think I match Alex Grey's impressive degree of weirdness, but I will certainly accept the comparison as a compliment - Thanks!
Yes, these do require a lot of patience - and very short working periods.

He is weird. Very weird.
But then again, find me an artist who isn't haha!

I love all three of these... they would be beautiful as tattoos! Your inkwork is awesome.

Thanks very much!
The first one actually was a tattoo design for my brother-in-law, while the second and third were just art trades with my friends. I decided to keep "tattoo" in mind for the whole series, though, so the latter two could definitely work as such!

Sunday fish-fry and bonanza!
LOL - I understand; sorry to hear that your computer crapped out on you.

Haha! Wish I could say it was a typo, but it was my mind taking over 
You can probably expect more colourings from me soon, I just love colouring your line arts! They're so much fun!

That's just awesome. Thanks again, many times over.

Thanks very much. These strange creatures are lots of fun to draw, but the shading sure does take some patience!

I can understand that! But you do a great job, indeed!

I always love the amount of detail you manage to put into all your work. Love the stylized look of this and the designs to it.

Thanks very much. It's actually rather meditative, drawing and dot-shading a piece like this.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think the dot-shading aspect of it would drive me crazy. Or at least make me never want to do such again. lol Though it certainly pays off apparently. o.O

You can take part in my Facebook project if you like. Let me know if you are interested.

I love the stipulations (that's what the dots are called, right? I suddenly can't recall...). It adds more depth to the picture.
That'd be one scary fish to catch and haul out of the water.... "I got one! I got--EEEEEK! PUT IT BACK! PUT IT BACK!"

Stippling! You're very close.
LMAO - Yeah, but you probably wouldn't have to worry about it too much, they're *harmonic* fishies... :3

Thanks! I love playing with all those details. It certainly keeps me out of trouble during my lunch hour at work.

I've never really been too interested in pointillism, but you did a beautiful job on it! I'm impressed!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I find that I have to use it to get particular effects, rather than using it as a simple shading medium. And only every great once in a while, at that.

This looks like one of those fine etchings you often see on display in museums.^^ It reminds me a lot on Rembrandt.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aww, thank you. I would not place myself into such company as Rembrandt, though... He was too much the genius!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well I can't say I disagree about the part that he was a genious, but you don't fall behind that much.^^
Of course you are working with different tools than him, he had bras plates and etching needles, yours are much more different.^^

I love these guys. The stippling is just awesome. I can't wait to see the rest of the series! :>

Thanks very much.
As it turns out, there will be some more fish fairly soon...
