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.

Holy crap! A fanart piece before the end of the year?? You betcha babe. A drawing of saury as a gift for @saureal.png I was originally gonna make this when he drew a commission for me around February, but then I realized something...this character is complex as fuck. So I decided to work more on em until I realized that his birthday came around the corner and I wasn't finished with this yet, so I made other works for him and well, the rest is history. But I'm so glad to get this done, and I'm greatly impressed at the results. (Bonus points for those who catch the reference here in the first image) [Likes, Shares, and/or reposts are greatly appreciated!]
