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 amazing!!! =D>

I'd love to see a tropheus.

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)

These are AWESOME!

Also could you make an apistogramma cacatuoides?

Great skill! How about a crenicichla marmorata or a Midas with huge nuchal hump?

From one artist, to another- Great Job!

How do you like using the tablet?

Excellent work. It would be cool to see a 'group portrait' Mbuna tank theme looking something like a small mafia gang.
