@_@ this took so long.

First real drawing on paper in FOREVER with my prismas. I finished this a couple weeks ago. After color edits on gimp cuz my camera doesn't get the same quality of color as I have on paper, the blue is a little too blue and flat on here and some red and yellow aren't visible on the scales. And the eye is a little low xD Oh well.

I could have blended a lot of parts better and the smoke doesn't look as good as I want it so I might touch it up sometime.

and yes the fins are supposed to resemble flames.


8-9 hours, sketchbook paper, prismacolor pencils

Make the change, it's worth a try.
What's broken can be fixed tonight ♫
Mmm. such pretty colors. i especially like how you got them to stand out more by making them pop in front of a dark background. Unfortunately, scanners and camerasNEVER get the same quality on paper. It sucks. Both have raped the color and detail out of my drawings multiple times :(

I love the flame fins, though. And the smoke. Both translated well to the computer :) The only thing that actually bothers me is the fishie's mouth. The lips seem a little bit too round, and the bottom one juts out slightly more from the top one, when it should be the other way around.

So pretty though. The colors are just dhfjdhgkfd. and the scaless! This owuld make a really pretty tattoo...
Nice work with Prismas! Wow, I remember taking a drawing class last year and it was hard to use them.

Life. No one gets out alive.

:tombstone: :earth: :heart: :invisible: :pokeball: :cd: :bump:
I think the white woulda benefited had there not been the inside lines. Like, I understand trying to make them look like intertwining streams or something, but I dunno. I've never been a fan of that technique in prismacolor. =\ otherwise, this is pretty sick.

xD thanks. I just looked off a photo I had of one of my old bettas, he was a normal looking one. Not sure of the exact species though.

you speak sad and true words D: !

thank you very much, the head area of the fish and the fish body both annoy me; they came out all wrong and the body's too short. The lower lip here should actually be extended to reach almost the same height as the upper lip though. but they're also too round >:c !

and fish tattoos are amaaaazing.
