Not sure where this one came from -- something about a fish swimming upstream got stuck in my head this morning. Had a few ways I was thinking about rendering it, maybe I'll do one of the alternatives later this month.
Oy. My hand is killing me.
I was planning on adding scales to the fish and putting more detail into the crowd in back, but I basically killed off the pen I was using, so I figured that was the sign telling me I was done for the night.
Probably should have been writing a paper or studying, or getting some work done, but this is definitely more fun. But I'm going to have to scale back on my goals a bit or I'm going to be seriously sleep-deprived by the end of the month. (And lose my job. And fail out of school.)
This is definitely going to be a challenge.

i too love the contrast.
Yup -- me three! REALLY makes him look like a fish out of water. Glad your pen ran out ;-)
Heh. Thanks everyone.
Man, I tell you, all this positive feedback is great, but it's like drugs. I'm going to forfeit up my house and turn to a life of crime to support my art-positive-feedback habit.
FWIW, the fish was always going to be lighter as a contrast to the sea of people. I just wanted to add some detail. Hopefully it wouldn't have darkened it too much, but you really never know. (Or at least, I don't.)
Incidentally, my intent was to make it look like it was swimming -- I didn't want it to look like it was the center of some large spectacle, but I'll settle for it not looking dead. (in the "water," as it were.)
