Artist's Comments

These are perfectly normal fish. They are not wearing hats, sporting udders, mutant, magic, totemic, or in anyway abnormal. These are ORDINARY FISH.

The top one's an arsonist, though.
--------------------------------------------------

Still obsessed with fish. Dragged out the watercolors for this one, which I haven't fooled with in a dog's age, acrylic being my usual. It was a nice change of pace, although I had to adjust again to the washiness of the media. (The trick is to use much less water than you think you need...)

I love all the scale details.

Wow, you're really churning these out, aren't you?

An arsonist, huh? How does he manage it, I wonder?

Of course you couldn't just do normal fish. Even if they look normal, at least one is secretly strange!
