Fishermanby ~bumble-boo

Traditional Art / Paintings / Illustration / Storybook

Well, it's all done. I can't say I'm 100% happy with it but it turned out okay.

I might go and do some digital touch ups... but I think I actually might like the fish better darker than they were in the roughs..

We shall see! Some of the colours were hard to get with the gouache, cause I didn't have a good turquoise, and the watercolour won't mix with the Acryla Gouache very well...

We had to do an illustration based on those scam e-mails, and mine was about a fisherman who died, and then some random bank lady wants to send you his money before his account goes dead. The fish don't really have anything to do with the story BUT I LIKE THEM so there they are.

watercolour, ink, gouache 24"x10"

Edit: Updated with a better quality scan...

Fisherman by =bumble-boo just blew me away - the use of overlapping images, the beautiful colour palette and that little dead fisherman sinking lower and lower... Check out their gallery, it's full of ridiculously beautiful things. ( Suggested by *Ilman-Lintu and Featured by `Mollinda )
