Artist's Comments

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.

Wow! I love the way you did the clouds, the pink and yellow is gorgeous. As for the fish, it looks incredible! I love the highlighting on the scales, and it looks like you really know fish anatomy, the muscle and structure looks so natural.

Flying ocean life is always fun. Looks great! The blending of colors on the fish is particularly nifty.

Wow, just wow. This really is incredible. The spines on the fish are incredible, I just adore the clouds. Such great coloring and such great details. I so wish I could use OC like this. Nice work. :heart:
