Because I like finny fish, and breed bettas, the betta played a big part in the inspiration ;) Well, this pic is supposed to be a fish, but it looks more like a sea dragon. I still really liked how it turned out, I do have to say, I think it's one of my better pieces. Guess it's just a case of an oops being nice. I tried to make the fins look like ribbons. I wanted to use it as a happy holiday sign at work, but it isn't very festive...guess it took a detour while coloring. Done in colored pencil, micron pen, and a touch of acrylic paint.
