1/3 Dead Fish- Opinions Needed!!!

I think this might be done. I just have to decide if i leave the wall thingie (don't know the name in english) and the busier highlights in the pooling water.

Which do you prefer? Or something in between?

Name suggestions for this would be neat too.

Me likes!

againstbound on Jul 09 '08 at 12:20am

Thanks guys, I shall work further on this, hopefully I'll like it better then.

The first person to say it's too boxy is gonna get punched in the neck. I like it.

Andreas Mohacsy on Jul 09 '08 at 12:28am

it's kind of like Ste7ens, without the illustrative master strokes but so much simpler and easier to understand

Andreas Mohacsy on Jul 09 '08 at 12:28am

but it's a bit boxy

professorE on Jul 09 '08 at 12:29am

*neck punch*

WanderingBert on Jul 09 '08 at 12:30am

oh- you're good. this'll end up great!

Kookaberry on Jul 09 '08 at 12:44am

His eye's bugging me. I think the fishy face needs some variety of line thickness or sumthin.

Kookaberry on Jul 09 '08 at 12:45am

Is he sad that he doesn't have a tummy no more?

goldensara on Jul 09 '08 at 12:51am

oh its very nice.

perhaps make the expression shocked instead of sad?

but its very cool as is.

againstbound on Jul 09 '08 at 11:54am

Andreas-I feared comparisons between this one and Steven's would arise, hopefully not so much after itt's finished.

Amy-Maybe because the whole face looks really flat, I hadn't yet worked on it ;(

Sara-It wasn't really my intention to make him look sad, just regular fish expression, maybe I should change that.

Thanks for feedback everyone!

zipperking on Jul 09 '08 at 11:59am

damn kid....YOU'RE ON FIRE!

so_simple on Jul 09 '08 at 12:03pm

definately on the right track

bcrider on Jul 09 '08 at 12:05pm

Excuse me, sir... it appears your fish is leaking. *goes to find cork*

Kookaberry on Jul 09 '08 at 12:42pm

This should be printed on three different pieces of paper so I can really put them up as panels in my bathroom.

bcrider on Jul 09 '08 at 12:46pm

^ agreed. We could even paint the spilling water onto the floor. I think that would be cool!!!

Did you sub this yet, Hector, or are you still playing with it???

againstbound on Jul 10 '08 at 5:59pm

Thanks guys!

Updates!

Kookaberry on Jul 10 '08 at 6:01pm

Oh the scales are super gorgeous! He still looks a bit sad though. I think it's this right here. Hold on I'm gonna have to MS paint this biotch.

Kookaberry on Jul 10 '08 at 6:03pm

JW on Jul 10 '08 at 6:04pm

really looks great on that dark grey shirt (sorry i know you'd prob prefer the sand hehe)

Jembrmstr on Jul 10 '08 at 6:06pm

i really like it but the water is so pure for taking all of his middle body off. maybe blend the colors (fish colors and water color) as it is draining out of the middle make a bunch of swirls!

againstbound on Jul 10 '08 at 6:33pm

Amy-Thanks, I shall look into that.

JW-Thanks man, and I do prefer the dark grey with the new colors, gotta take vacations from sand every now and then.

Jembrmaster-I see what you mean, but I kinda thought this more as if the middle part died for lack of water, thus revealing it's skeleton.

2 days later

updatebump!

roadkill3d on Jul 13 '08 at 1:24am

Brilliant. You're coming up with clever concepts lately... good luck with this Hecktor!

Pizazz on Jul 13 '08 at 1:49am

You should suggest the use of gold foil for the trim!

atomic child on Jul 13 '08 at 2:09am

nice dude 2.89 or higher

Kookaberry on Jul 13 '08 at 2:36am

Oh man...this is gorgeous.

JW on Jul 13 '08 at 5:16am

Hey i love how this has turned out, the detailing on the frames and fish is great, i think you have struck the right balance here. Another high scorer no doubt!

spacesick 2 on Jul 13 '08 at 7:55am

that is so tight

Twiggyhall on Jul 13 '08 at 1:38pm

This is looking fantastic, Hector! :)

againstbound on Jul 13 '08 at 4:21pm

Thanks a lot guys! =D

Chriz- If trim=frames, then that's exactly what I'm planning to do, I'm just lazy to do it until the final preentation.

AC-That would be great man, but I would be glad if it just breaks a 2.5

=)

herky on Jul 13 '08 at 4:28pm

looks great!

quister on Jul 13 '08 at 5:23pm

Looks great, really nice idea.

You're literally on fire, just voted on flame guy. Haha.

Maybe it would look more like the middle tank is emptying if the grey of the shirt came through?

C Kid on Jul 13 '08 at 5:35pm

I liked 'To Spill a Mocking bird a lot' but this is even better! Your latest work is awesome and the scores well deserved. I'm looking forward to see this up for voteing! Maybe you could make each frame a little bit different?

nikolina100 on Jul 13 '08 at 5:36pm

OMG - the fish one = fabulous!!!!!!!

againstbound on Jul 14 '08 at 1:17am

Thanks to everyone for your kind words! =D

Quister-Did try using the gray for the background, it would help me reduce 1 color, but it didn't look any good.

C Kid- I kinda wanted the frames to be the same, but I understand what you say, but also I'm not sure I'm brave enogh to draw 2 more frames.

goldensara on Jul 14 '08 at 1:19am

dark blue has a better look to it.

Kookaberry on Jul 14 '08 at 1:25am

I like the dark blue more as well.

JW on Jul 14 '08 at 3:11am

I dont think you need the bottom bit, i think you just need to make the water more 3d. I've done a paint over i hope you dont mind, this might not go with your style either:

This is my favourite of your designs so far!

againstbound on Jul 14 '08 at 10:33am

So that's 2 votes for dark and 1 for light (?).

And, JW, no problem dude, I don't mind at all, au contraire. And that's kind of what I originally was going to do, but I figured I'd try something a lil bit more detailes, but maybe simpler is the way to go with this, thanks!
