Here we see the frankenfish in its natural habitat - floating among the rock of underground caverns, waiting - appearing dead, until its prey comes. When its prey appears, it will suddenly wag with great vigor to frighten - or possibly disgust - it into submission.

it's FRANKENFISH!
of last night's Mythbusters episode fame!
yes, I am wierd. no, I don't care.
My brain started chugging on this guy last night, despite my best efforts.. and decided that this fish has GOT to be an example of one of the species in gearworld. now, since I'm not going to start infringing on Ursula's mental space, I'm not particularly inclined to actually PUT him there.. so it's gearworldesque for now =P. stubborn little fish isn't he?

I REALLY would love any tips on the rock wall and water.. I have NO idea what I'm doing there. the fish I pretty much am happy with, aside from the tail, so he probably won't change - but if you have any suggestions, PLEASE don't hesitate to voice them!

note: NOT my creature. this one belongs to Jamie Hyneman - I just painted it.


Art Rage 2 (w/ photoshop for the reflection effect) - probably 3 or 4 hours so far.

LONG LIVE FRANKENFISH SINISTER SUBTERRAENEAN SLEUTH

the water is awesome all black

for the wall i would darken it a little more and just think of it as a series of three dimensional objects, like big slabs jutting out and receding inwards, so its not so flat looking.

i love frankenfish.
wow, that was fast! lol
thank you so much for the advice! I will *definately* try out the thing with the wall. once I'm not dead. I should have been in bed about 8 hours ago. hehe. out of curiosity, how'd you find my little piece?

Not bad for a wip. I'm not a painter so I can't give technique advice, but as an avid fisherman I'd like to point out that most fish scales are rounded in shape. :3

I'm mad. You're mad. We're all mad here...
hehe, thanks
about the scales - it's really not going for super realism.. I just crosshatched it sloppily to save my sanity. ;)

LoL saving your sanity is good, if you value it. Me, I'm like "OH IM NOT USING IT ANYWAYS!!" XD
