This was a fun commission of four different goldfish a girl rescued as babies. They, however, did not survive to adulthood because of abuse of severe physical deformities. So this is them as if they had.

I just finished this one, the color was really complicated.

WOW; your stuff is mind-blowingly awesome! I love the goldfish expecially; they look like some that I have. They are all cool though.. wow again!

Those are awesome! Thanks for posting them Styx!

I really like the veiltale betta looking at his reflection...superb stuff!

You very well may be the guy I have to draw up a nice koi piece for a tattoo I want!

:rockon:

Ginevive, I was actually shocked at how well the goldies came out. XD

JBallPython, I'd get a koi tattoo myself if I wasn't such a big chicken about it. lol

those are awesome bettas...I use to have a collection of them until something happened. sad day.

I had...
crown tails
double tails
half moons
and veil tails

Awesome pets. I tried breeding them once, but didnt work out. lol

These are wonderful. I LOVE the detail. What medium do you use?

Krazy99CL, double tails and plakats are my FAVORITES. I bred them for three years, and didn't this year. It's hard! lol

Sasquatch Art, thanks. It's mixed; acrylic and colored pencil.

Your work is gorgeous as always. :-) Any chance you'll be doing any python art someday?

oooh fish! I love the bettas! They're one of my favorite fish ((aside from Koi and cory cats!)) So pretty! :D :D :D :rockon:

slartibartfast & Laooda, oh yes for sure. I hope to do some similer to my fish art, not quite like the copic art I did.

amarin.astarte, oh those panda cories are really cute.

I have a panda cory in my tank right now (the store around here who carries corries regularly only had the ONE!) but my favorite are the Julies, which I haven't been able to find for a little while now. My last one passed away a bit ago.

Although my pictus cat is really a doll, too.

I've got a greyish-caramel/rust crowntail tail betta in my desktop tank. He's never been the most attractive colored fish, but his fins are LOVELY

I miss my blue and gold pair.

I had some julies someone dumped off on me, I still like the pandas and the dwarf cories best I think.

I love pictus. D: But I don't have a large enough tank for one.

Yes, I agree, a CT with nice straight rays and good fins is quite a fish to behold, even if they're just a chocolate or something.

Lovin it! :sweeet: My fave is the second down, that's an awesome angle and ponderous pose there.

Thanks. :3

Beautiful work! The second one in particular - it's like you can feel the water moving on his fins...just lovely.

Thank you, I'm glad all the hard work on that one paid off.

I like gold fish too much. When the goldfish under the water they seems very beautiful.:)
