Description
I drew this for *gryphonworks 's contest. The object was to create some creature that was red with yellow eyes, silver talons/hooves/fins/whatever, a black mane, and a serpentine tail. I ah... had to take some liberties with the last two.. >.>;Sketched this in class (that black sliver on the bottom right edge of the picture was the edge of my sketchbook that I overlooked while editing. D'oh!) and colored in openCanvas 1.1. Horray, it looks like oC and I can finally be friends.
When I started drawing this, there was really no meaning behind it. All the background and stuff was just there to make the red fish thing look less naked. As I drew, however, in my mind it kind of became a meeting between two ambassadors (haha, get it? amBASSadors? nyuk nyuk. Hey shut up, it was late.) One friend whom I showed this to said I should title the picture "Mom, can I keep him?" Another friend said that this is a picture of a wedding proposal. ("...It's just so sudden! Oh my, I'm blushing!") So, this picture means whatever you want it to mean.
art, highly unoriginal idea (c) rah-bop

I stumbled across this when I randomly decided to search "flying fish" after seeing a friend of mine's favorites. I'm quite glad I did. Something about this just has a certain aura of wonder that I'm suddenly attached to. Very nicely done.

That fish is the deffinition of AWESOME. The texturing/scales and so on is detailed in a great way...you did a great job of contrasting the large upper-body scales with the much smaller belly scales, like on a real fish. I totally feel like I could TOUCH it. Wicked.

there's just too much that i could praise about this picture for me to go into right now. it's a very beautiful picture. the colors of the fish are brilliant against the sky, and the dark shapes of the flying ships add to how huge they must be. has Squaresoft hired you yet?
