Description Many, many thanks to for kindly allowing me to paint his amazing photograph: [link]

Go and have a look at his other photographs too, it's definitely worth the time!


It was fun all the way through, and I did learn a lot about tiny feathers
I tryed to paint this without colourpicking from the original, but in the end I had to add a levels layer, to get a touch more saturation and contrast.
It took me some 4-5 hours, at which I'm a bit surprised. I thought I would have to finish this tomorrow evening.

Thanks for looking. Thoughts and critique are very welcome = )

So great detail. I love those little feathers on the head and that fish body/tail is marvelous :3

Thanks! I think the fish tail is translucent, which gives it that awesome look.
