I wanted to draw something with a fish for April 1st… and things got out of hand. 🐟

Sketches and more under the cut.

I made the first rough in 2020, it's based on a species I created forever ago. Second rough is the 2025 refined version, with the fish.

Sketchy lines below (yes, they are sketchy to me). I only realized after I finished the drawing that the right front leg looked a bit wrong, so I fixed it with some extra painting.

For the fish, I shamefully traced over photos because I didn't have time to try to get the anatomy of so many fish right. I used this amazing brush for the scales (on the drake too).

Warm-up sketch before getting back to some SW fanarts.

This is my boy Vaillant, he needs a redesign but this one will do just fine for the moment.
