MCC Mega Dump 2: Beloniformes fish

Flying fish! Even more sketches and explorations that's right I'm not done. Originally I just needed to design the flying fish cus it's the only one with story importance in MCC, serving as a fun way of transportation. But then I figured why not do all the other representatives of the Beloniformes order(minus Adrianichthyids, the ricefish) and ended up spending way too much time on these. I wanted the flying fish and all the other beloniforms to look like some kind of insects, I think it's quite fitting for how weird they can get. I took inspiration from dragonflies and damselflies for the flying fish and small headed flies for the halfbeaks. I tried to integrate elements from lanternflies(especially Cathedra serrata) for the saury(third image) and stick insects for the sea needles(fifth image) but they ended up looking uncoordinated and now I don't like them anymore.

I thought that Sayori was a character, not a fish!

Japanese Halfbeak, or Sayori are pretty fin-teresting fish! They're mainly used for sushi, and they're named after their distinctive lower jaw which is way longer than their top one! Also, Halfbeaks can also be called spipe fish or spipefish!

I can't not mention DDLC I really like that game... there's a meal callee Monika too! It's a kind of grilled fish!

Daily fish fact #853

Wrestling halfbeak!

The males’ anal fin has developed into an andropodium, which is used to hold onto a female during mating. Male halfbeaks can sometimes fight by wrapping around one another and locking jaws, sometimes up to several minutes!

A halfbeak? They're funky looking livebearers and very agressive
