grassangel | End progress of Fishy

Well, it’s been quite the epic making this fishy. Constant re-evaluations of technique and plenty of thoughts of ‘What I would do next time’, though I hope there won’t be. (But way up on the top of that list would be to do the painting with an airbrush. Blending acrylics on a non-flat surface KILLED me.)

So, this first batch of pictures was taken in October last year. Several areas are simply blocked in for blending and some were completed.

These next ones were taken a couple of days later… I’d finished the blending on both sides of all the fins and was completing the last side’s blending.

Then a couple month’s break and I’ve finished the blending and eyes and just left it there for a while.
After having a text conversation with shadowsinfire, I then changed my plan of painting scales on to just painting in Fishy’s stripes and adding the fin detail.

That’s what I completed two weeks ago. The below pictures are just copies of the ones I showed everyone, but this is an archive post…

Sorry about the glare See the interference paint?

And then we have these photos, which are the fully completed and sealed ones of Fishy. They aren’t on a proper background and are only a few select photos, but still…
There’s nothing else for me to with it, aside from set up its display properly.

So, my next projects are to whip up some cat ears, make Tanpopo mark II and… we’ll see. I’ve got Mokona x2 on the list, as well as a mask for a friend and masks for myself.
