Description

Gettin through the queue...gettin' through the queue...

Ahoo man, I have a several commissions in progress, many of which are near completion. I've been working in a weird cycling motion, picking at several pieces at once. It's hard to say if I prefer working this way yet. I don't enjoy the bigger delays between deliveries that much, but when one piece demotivates me, I can pick right up on a different one and always keep the ball rolling. I hope one day, I find a workflow that I like so much I barely ever want to mess with it.

This design was based off of my client's pet ornate bichir, which are wonderful fish with a unique and distinctive look to them!

Well that's a fine fish design to say the least.

Although judging by the design? I do have to wonder if it's a dragon fish or a kaiju fish? If you could let me know. That would be most appreciated.

Anyway. A great job done on the drawing good sir. I do hope you have a wonderful week and God bless you.

Nice monster
This reminds me that water dragons do not necessarily have to be reptiles, but also fish.

Yoooo, this is hella cool! I'd actually been thinking about commissioning you for an ornate bichir/african butterfly fish themed leviathan for awhile before deciding on getting a ref for Roth, but looks like someone else had a similar idea haha!

Great design. I like the color of the animal that way. They are so regal and are a bright contrast to the background. Also the shape is great as the head is built up. Like an Axoloth I think it's a super beast to build a design. Good work.

Oh man, love the colors on this guy! Really feels like a river monster you would learn about in a fishing town, only to learn it's a natural fish species!
