The Manowlfish

Share

It's the Manowlfish, a combo of a man, an owl and a fish.

I like to call it a selfportrait, hence the fish.

Don't ask about the owl part...

Interesting piece here, Fishy. You did a splendid job on creating a unified balance between man, owl, and fish. I especially like his prominent eyebrows and peering eyes. The shading is great, even his silhouette on the wall.

Because of the unique combination of species, I think this piece could be ameliorated with color; the scales on his neck would be much prettier. A full-body perspective would be an interesting sight, I must add.

I would like to see another drawing similar to this one. Thank you for such a dashing drawing.

TheFishyOne responds:

Thank you for the constructive feedback, I highly appreciate this!

Main problem on this one was the fact that at first I painted it fully on grayscale and applying the right colors later on was becoming pretty hard and tiresome, so I decided to keep it on a single colour. Also, what you see on the neck are feathers, not scales. :)

I will probably do a full-color version of the Manowlfish, probably full body, sitting on a very comfy armchair, enjoying his pipe, looking through a monocle perhaps, surrounded by books and maybe a lamp as a lightsource, for the mood.
