Wire Sculptures of Fish. Suggestions?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I trust no one!!! Haha, jk. I'm gonna load some pictures up tomorrow of the reccently painted fish. I painted both aros, dwarf pike, clown loach, betta macrostoma, and wdie bar dat. I've had a ton of ideas for new sculptures, both from guys on here and my brain. Here's what i have planned;
Ornate bichir
barramundi
armatus
azul cichla
motoro ray
lionfish
fahaka puffer
paradise threadfin
atf
butterfly fish
oscar
discus
lobster
nile monitor
praying mantis
armadillo
day gecko
cuttlefish
red eye tree frog
cobra (coiled and spreading hood)
and some type of rattle snake
 
Here are the fish after painting;
I was so impressed with the colors on wurm's loach that I painted mine the same color


the asian aro is now an rtg


all silver now


betta macrostoma


dwarf pike


wide bar dat
 
Awesome man! How much would that dwarf pike run me? :D Could you make a couple of the others? :D Some of the larger pikes would be awesome! You should a FRT too! LoL!
 
The dwarf pike is $30, 5.5" long. a 12" long pike would probably be around $60. The larger pikes would look really cool, like a johanna. Any suggestions for pike species would be appreciated. I like the FRT idea. Oooh, alligator snapper!!!
 
Awesome!!!! Thanks Peanut!!! I need to take a trip to Lowe's soon, I'm completely out of wire!!!!! 300 feet gone in 2 weeks!!!!!!!
 
Just thought I would post a link to this lady's website that got me started on wire sculpture. Her stuff is amazing!!!!!!! Completely different style than mine, but it's impressive work.

I know, 30 years of experience will do that!!!!! How'd you like the marlin?
 
Death Pony awesome work man i think you really have an a great future ahead of you in this field. I don't know how well it would work but i used to make chainmail all the time it gets kind of agonizing but you seam to have that under control and i think it would make awesome scales an could really raise the technique level. The painted ones look really great it really gives it a finished look. How about some creative mfk signs i think they might sell good and id be willing to fork out some cash for one.
