43. Fantail Goldfish color study

After many many hours, this came up. I wanted to color something different than a human so this is what I chose. One of my favorite fish.

I defined his face more on accident but now he looks like a character! The fins and tail had many issues. Because of the unclear ref and transparency so I had to try and do something decent with what I had.

Overall, I'm super proud! :D!!

14. Fantail goldfish

It's funny how a part of my life, I'd neglect goldfish as they are probably the most stereotypical fish to put in an aquarium (other than a poor Beta in a wineglass >.>!). But over the years, I've found myself getting attached to this variety of goldfish. The fantails (or even the veiltails) !

The more I think about it, the more I'd like to get one immortalized on my back or neck. Fish have been a major influence in my life, be it drawing or collecting statues or just gazing at the discovery channel checking out undersea life. Maybe that's why I don't like/eat fish, probably a subconscious thing.
