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.
