In an evening, I found two of my gold fish which I'd grown since they were eggs were dead and sank and one was almost dying. Feeling sorry to them, I brought the two bodies to our garden to dry it up so I could draw them later and isolated and gave medicine to the rest to cure its desease. It seemed the surviver came to life again but when I'm back home in next evening, it was dying unfortunately. So I went to the two bodies I had been dried but those were taken by cat even I put them on a pile of wood pieces - which is quite easy to collapse. Cursing the animal I hate so bad -they've eaten our carps and gold fish so many times when we were keeping them in outside, I started to draw the last body which died hours ago. The more I drew it the more it stinked so I felt I could vomit anytime I want when this drawing was close to its finish.

stunning. every little detail is perfect. this must have been really hard, doing this kind of quality work with both the stink of the fish and being sad/angry about what happened...
