That's amazing.

Seriously, the fry is SPOT ON. Perfect.

Yeah, I like how the fry came out. It looks better in the sketch though, some detail was lost in coloring.

WOW. The fry is amazingly perfect, and the detail on the father fish is stunning. Great work!

UGH. DA ate my comment.

ANYWAY.
This is a gorgeous picture and with such and with such an interesting concept you really had the chance to show off your mad skillz while creating something very interesting. I don't think most people (myself included) would have thought of fish to be especially loving, protective parents, and that makes the image all the more endearing and enlightening somehow.

Remember friend as you pass by
As you are now so once was I
As I am now you soon shall be
So prepare for death and follow me.

We should kill DA.

That's very true; many fish are very caring parents, and many species mate for life.

Gorgeous piece. I love the pale colours and contrast with the background.
