[ I think I saw something like this in an ep. of FUTURAMA or some such... ]

[ Anyhow, it should be a fun one. ]

[ Self-explanatory, I think. ]

Well this is my first post here at CA, a touch nervous. This popped straight into my head as soon as I saw the title. Its just a first pass so far. Hope you guys like it.

Painter 8, 45 minutes so far.

===EDIT===

Final version, total time spent roughly 1hour 30mins

nice fishie dayglo

[Primordial Flame]

Wow, dayglow, that golfish is superbly detailed :eyecandy: :}

[dayglowdave]

reaxion, prim cheers! I think I should push the concept a bit more with the actual bowl. Primordial, I look forward to seeing the next pass of your decked out bowl! :D

Living for generations in a prison, goldfish have had alot of quality thinking time, and while some are content to a life of comfort, others want a revenge. Served cold.
painter, pretty quick, maybe as fast as 20 min.

Thanks dayglow, errm it was meant to be finished but you've convinced me I should give it a another tweak.

@ Hamsta: Thats a cool sketch, I really like the feel of movement you get from the piece.

[CherryLunar]

Dayglow. That fish is so adorable.

[dayglowdave]

dragonflajka : sweet! awesome colors

Spent a couple minutes throwing a quick sketch together yesterday and ended up spending around 2 hours today painting it in Photoshop.

couldn't really get this right !

Primordial Flame hmm... don't take this hard, but I'm not really inspired by this sketch, it's not bad, but it's just not very dynamic, or suprising. A few technical problems - the poor fish looks like he has back problems :P the gray outline leftovers are a little distracting.

[Idiot Apathy]

Quicky :) I need to do more of these...

Behold, the CODPIECE. Sorry, I went over on the time :) The initial sketch took 45 minutes, beginning inks took about 1.5 hours, but since I didn't have a scanner until I got back to the office on Monday, I couldn't resist spending the rest of the weekend adding little details. Color 1 hour photoshop. I really enjoyed this one! Dayglowdave, amazing fish! Sickelsick, I like your concept.

Hmmm Ok I'll try and take that as positive criticism:\ . I see what you mean about the grey bits being distracting thats a fair call, as for finding my pic uninspiring, well each to their own I guess and finally as to the fish, he isnt quite as curved as I'd like and thats something for me to work on but I wasn't really aiming for a realistic fish. Anyway thanks for the response, its not what I would have liked but meh, can win em all ;p

@Sandworm: Dude that is freakin COOL! :jawdrop:

[sandworm]

Thanks Primordial! Hey I noticed you've got goldfish mind-plugs in your pic as well, didn't mean to gank your idea, bro!

[dayglowdave]

friggin sweet , Sandworm!!!

[mrdigs]

Primordial Flame - like the legs on yours, they really convey a feel of weight to the bowl as well.

dayglowdave - that's amazing ! minor crit about the legs tho, they both appear to be on the front side of the bowl so it looks like a third one should be there on the other side to add some balance or the bowl will fall over ? not picking holes in your work tho, i'm well impressed with the way you painted that - what package do you work in ?

sickelsick - nice sense of motion in yours, i really struggled (and failed !) to convey that, think you got it just right.

sandworm - superb !

[sandworm]

Thank you very much Mr. Diggs. I'm afraid I take too much time on them though. I get them done in a day, but since I'm at the office I keep going back to them again and again, so I'm sure it adds up to way more time than everyone else is spending. The goldfish I kept doing little bits over the whole weekend until I get to the scanner, so I'm afraid it's not really fair to everyone else. I am thankful for the practice though, for sure.
