sixty.five

This is an interesting final product - I had no idea it would look this way when I began. My sketch of the fish was more normal and boring at first. When I added the fins, however, the fish just looked incredibly dejected or vexed, so I decided to push those emotions further. This resulted in the addition of the vampire teeth, the dark colors, the splattered scales... a little creepy.
I enjoy letting my work talk back to me like that. This conversation with my pieces is something I need to allow more often, rather than forging ahead with my own plans regardless of what the paint is saying to me.
