the leviathan


 This is going to be a little different.  The image is that photo of the gilt-headed bream.  He just looked so powerful,  Anyway it likely will not be mosaicked and I'm using pretty big brushes and I am going to take a more holistic attack on this one rather than doing this area and that area and then trying to stitch them together.

  1. Great start! I think the holistic approach will suit this one well. Already you're getting lovely texture without mosaic, so I say keep it up. I like the shading on the fish and the brushwork in the water. It feels like a confident fish moving through very active water.

  2. I’m interested to see where this goes. The contrast between the fish and water is nice so far. But I feel like the fish needs to be bigger—fatter, almost swimming off the page...

  3. Alright, a fish of a different kind, in foreign waters. Don't forget to put this guys bulbous eyes too close together. Yea, for being holistic. Who'd have thought...
