Bluecheek Butterflyfish (Chaetodon semilarvatus) 🐠🪸

Not so long ago I had the opportunity to see them and many other colorful fishes while diving in the reef, so I wanted to draw something that would remind me of it~

people seemed to like my sunfish so have some... admittedly rather low-resolution butterflyfish (models from Endless Ocean Blue World)

The final home for my little school of fish! They don't stand up well (they're fish, of course they don't) so I wanted somewhere they could hang as a display. Luckily I have the perfect spot in my closet cozy corner! I love sitting there and watching them gently spin together.

Don't tell the others, but I definitely have a favorite :)

The metal pieces are some old earring parts I had leftover from a jewelry class way back when, left open for a more fishhook-like appearance and so I can quickly take just the fish back down again - or swap their places if I want! The strings are looped around a pole for hanging clothes on rather than directly tied in place, so the entire structure can be easily taken down or moved if I need to.
