This painting took me an entire week, gave me tons of trouble, but it quite possibly the most satisfying painting I have made to date. All done in photoshop with a Wacom Intuos 3 tablet. Fish species are Ceolocanth, Sturgeon, Polypterus, Dunkleosteus and random teeny fishes (and a snapping turtle). They are not 100% accurate (dunkleosteus is tiny), but this is more of a symbolic painting representing the eternal and ancient power of nature, and how inspiring it is.

This'll sound weird ok so bear with the weirdness
I love the way you have use the lines seperating water land and sky to create an imbalance that draws the eye to the aurora as the focus of the work. O.o
Anyhoo I love this picture and the fish at the front is seriously freaky

That is simple breathtaking.
Not unlike the real Aurora Borealis.
I especially like the attention to detail on the mountain range, very craggy. Nicely done.
