Artist's Comments

This is my first all-digital work...huzzah!

I was watching a Foo Fighters video clip yesterday- I don't know what it's called but it had an ocean theme- and for a couple of seconds I saw what looked like a fish in a glass bottle, though it might have been my imagination. But I thought; that's a pretty cool image so took a break from another picture I was working on and drew this. The hardest thing to do was the decanter- it took me ages.

Done in Photoshop 6 with a Wacom Tablet

NOTE: Be kind to the fish, please do not put them in bottles.

Daily Deviation

Given 2007-03-13

Koi in a decanter by ~tissa is sharp and clean, showing some incredible reflections on the glass of the bottle. After looking at this, I'm wondering if they make actual fishtanks like this. (Suggested by `baKIN and Featured by `Aeires)

Mucho gracias seniorita :D
I'm glad you like the reflections- the whole bottle was so hard to do- I must have changed it like 20 times. I kept trying to make it really accurate by using all these photos as reference but in the end I just looked at a glasss of water and made the rest up.

I just tick that box because I don't like people to tell me what's wrong with my stuff- believe me, no one's a bigger critic of my work than me. But becuase it's you feel free to let me know how my so called 'koi' is infact a eastern russian gold salmon and that the 'decanter' is actually a fanta bottle and I should be ashamed of my false advertising.
