The fish works well as a visual focus, since the darkness of its inking contrasts heavily with the lightness of the CMC and the surrounding area, and it's always a pleasure to see you do your crazy hatching thing. The thick outlining of the water's edge confuses my perception of depth a bit (thicker lines usually imply greater proximity), but it's all good; after all, water's ALWAYS hard to render...

It's funny, because I work in a fish laboratory and for the past two years I've been working exclusively with fatheads! Pimephales promelas, as it were!
Wow oh wow this is an awesome pic. It feels so relevant to my life, as in addition to lab work I'm taking a conservation of fish in aquatic ecosystems course. FISH R KOOL GUIS
...I cannot be held responsible If I turn this in with my final paper.
As always, awesome work, sah!

So you should also know that bait buckets have introduced these remarkable little critters into parts of the country where they were never meant to be, causing some disruption of the local ecosystems. One of the drawbacks to their ready availability is that they often wind up in the hands of the irresponsible, who can't fathom the potential consequences of releasing live animals into a new body of water.
At least they're not golden shiners or mosquito fish, right?

Add on top of that the species' natural tolerance to a wide range of conditions and you got yourself an invasive little problem.
It really is a shame people don't realize the bigger picture, especially when a short term action that benefits them has dire consequences for the ecosystem at large.
And damn straight they're not. Or rainbow trout. Buggers have been introduced for sportfishing EVERYWHERE.

Loose bits. It's a wishing pond. They're going to try and wish for cutie marks.

Really nice, I love your attention to details. But I feel like this drawing lacks something that would make it look like it's actually taking place underwater.

I'll toss a battery in there. That'll get some current going!
