Description A fish for my mother's birthday, since I couldn't actually go somewhere to buy something since I am lacking in a driver's license that I am technically old enough to have but too lazy to get... :I but anyway, this is some sort of Hawaiian pelagic goby that I saw in a recent copy of Sport Diver. I don't know what the species name is or anything about it, just that it looks like this.

Materials: Copic sketch markers, Copic traditional markers, Prismacolor markers, Gelly Roll white gel pen, Micron 005 / 01 black inking pens, Bazill Basics textured scrapbook paper, aka the best marker paper ever even though it isn't intended for them... :I

Also... this looks SIGNIFICANTLY better in real life. Dern scanners.

Lol this is hilarious! You're really good with markers! I'd like to try them someday but I heard they are expensive!

They are ridiculously expensive, that's for sure, but if you get really into them it is definitely worth it. Difficult at first though due to the limited colors you have to start with [or else risk driving yourself into complete broke-ness XD]. It has taken me just over two years to get to how many I have now, and there are STILL colors that would be nice to have... XDD

So what did your mother say when she got it?

She said that she really liked it, and that sort of stereotypical parent thing. She framed it and put it in the front hall by the door
