Another "colored pencil approach". I work in them in real life, this is great to work up ideas for works on paper!!

This is original artwork. I have wanted to do an undersea pic for quite a while. I used a couple of refs to get the idea of how different corals look but didn't actually work from them. The fish is....totally made up! Dang I jes noticed I forgot the fin on the side. I took it out to do the scales and forgot to put it back. I am out of space cannot revise. :(

Very beautiful. This really does look like pencils. I'm sure the benevolent gods of mod-dom will give you more space if you want to go back in and "fin"ish this....
gerbear (Apr 24, 2006)
*giggles* Good point davinci!! Thanks you two. Sweets the fish does look like my Pisces one which you have never seen!!! Odd you picked up on that!! Good eye. I should send the Pisces to Madhouse so you could see it.

Dare I ask for more space to add the missing fin and merge the layers? Does anyone know if merging the layers will make the file smaller?
davincipoppalag (Apr 25, 2006)
Yep it will

I have no idea gerbear, but I love this! so shiny looking! I love the flowy feeling you gave the fins with just color! Very purty
gerbear (Apr 25, 2006)
ok davinci, guess I will ask then. thanks! Opium, thank you. The fish looked brighter in Lascaux for some odd reason.

Hi Gerbear - it's Xina from Sketchfu. Thought I'd check your gallery on this site - this fishy is so beautiful. Makes me want to revisit my regenbogen fisch.

Hey, I did not know you were here. I love all of your stuff. Would love to see you do some more. Sketchfu has gotten boring for me, I am afraid. I have also made an enemy here and not sure how to fix it. She (sweetcell) is really pissed at me. I only memo'd her that I did not appreciate her nit picky comments. Ouch...I got a mouthful back. Now I see she is a top dog her....oh.....woe is me. Something came over me and possessed me, I swear! Miss seeing you...how is your back? Come visit.

I think this one, your anime or what ever you call those and your nude are my favorite.
Sweetcell (Mar 9, 2008)
I'm top dog? When did that happen? I must have lost the memo from Marcello the owner.

As for Gerry she doesn't draw here anymore.

Hmmmm top dog. I think I'll make that into a T-shirt.
