Very cool looking :thumb: I'm gonna take a wild guess that you must do some sort of drawing for a living? Because that looks like more than just something you do for fun 8)

Hey pork_chop, I sent you a PM a few hours ago and just realized you might not have your settings set up yet to let you know youve received a PM. I often get PMs and still dont get an email letting me know???

Anyway when you have some time check your PM, its up top under "my mailbox" next to the "search", "profile" etc.

The process for these particular fish drawings is:

1) research the type of fish I want to draw, look at a bunch of reference photos.
2) Sketch out some rough drawings on paper, the scan into the computer
3) Digitally draw over my rough pencil lines using photoshop with a Wacom Intuos tablet
4) Then finally after Im satisfied with image I digitally color it using again photoshop.
5) file: save ...lol

For the most part each one of these roughly took about an hour and half give or take.

Every time you post one of these renditions, I immediately have a little mini-cartoon run through my head....like a cichlid nerd's version of Family Guy or The Simpsons!

Not sure if you're into animation, but little 30 second clips with these guys might be a fun enterprise for you...or just a 3 to 4 panel comic strip...I know I'd follow something like that anyway :popcorn:

Keep the drawings coming!

These are very very awesome looking.

3 suggestions if you would (for my icon thingy)

The horny and promiscuous Multifasciatus

The laid back(almost stoner-esque) of the Alto. Comp

and the hyper activity of the Cyp. Leptosoma

Just things i would love to see.

Keep up the good work dude, this is some nice stuff (ps for some really good pics to look at as reference, look up RAZZO, he takes some awesome pics)
