Cranked this out today.
Mr Squid soldered in an LED with a battery holder thing and a switch on the back.

This shot is with the flash so you can see the colors and texture


This is with lower light so you can see his lamp


It's 10X10
(that's 25.4 centimeters for eurospags)

Feh, it looks better in person.

AHHHHHHH I LOVE IT!

I think I'm going to have to have a small Discordian gallery in my house after I move with collections from all of our artsy spags, because that is sheer brilliance and totally gallery worthy in my opinion.

AAAAHHHH!

Squid, I need to find something I have that is awesome so I can trade you for a piece of your fish-related arts. I have a friend who would fall head over heels to get something like the tentacles or the anglerfish.

[Sir Squid Diddimus]

Man, you guys really like it?
Cause I'm looking at it thinking of what I can do to make it look better but I know if I touch it I'm just gonna fuck it up worse.

I thought I had a long canvas cause I was gonna do a jelly fish but I didn't and then I got sad.

I'm learning to work with different mediums for texture and depth, so these are all kind of experiments. I'm hoping to get better.

Thanks for all the compliments    it's encouraging.

I liked the tentacles better, it's hard to top those, except to make them BIGGER of course, but seriously those tentacles where sooooo cool.

The fish is also pretty damn sweet, but you may be right if you say the photos don't entirely do it justice.

If you're gonna keep working on it, only thing I can think of is to apply some subtle shading to the body and teeth, but maybe that's the bit I can't see on the photos. you could maybe fire up photoshop and draw shadings on the photo to see how it would look before you risk the original painting? Just some ideas.

[Sir Squid Diddimus]

that is a good idea.

thanks

[Suu]

Dude! That came out GREAT.

[Sir Squid Diddimus]

It did until I ripped out one of the sides and got really mad and just stood there till Mr Squid said "just put a buckle on it" and then I did and it fixed it. The end.
