I am working on making some paintings for our house. so far this is what i want

1 very large monster fish collage painting.

and a few smaller 18x22" and 8x10 paintings of other categories. like for example: one painting focusing on south and central american cichlids, one on plecos, one on mbunas, one on tanganikan ect, one on oddballs ect.

so if anyone has any ideas on fish that would look nice painted like colorul and just nice looks for each of these categories, or if u have a cateory idea i can have please let me know. :) i need help! :D i am planning to make quite a few to fill the house so i need lots.
 
well i have different kinds of paper so i was going to use alot of different media, everything from sketches to charcoal, to oil pastels, to water color :)

I am really interested in seeing Arowana painting/drawings as I am looking to get a tattoo

If i am not mistaken its one in there...but it has so many pages I could be wrong....:nilly:
 
ive always thought a nicely illistrated RTC would look so Fing pimp on a big layout.

or like, an ancient fish one.

Yup I've seen it, It's nice. But maybe I don't want one that another individual has? If I'm not mistaken it's called being original :nilly:

I agree....so take that pic and alter to what suits u best. Just b/c its an Arowana doesnt mean you are copying someone....thats why art is so special. The smallest change can in the end create the biggest difference....:headbang2:headbang2:headbang2
