Description

A quick doodle I did when my electric went off in a thunderstorm.
A steampunk angler fish.
Aren't they so neat? I know, the one in 'Finding Nemo' tops them all, but I wanted to make mechanical.
I think I shall continue my Steamus animals, they're sort of a fun pasttime.
A few sketches showing different angles and mouth open


Plus, this is my 500th deviation. :bow:

Ahahahaha! I didn't see you'd drawn an angler fish! Must have missed it in my Deviation messages.

I love the simple composition, the progression from white to dark and the way you've placed the light works very well for me. There could perhaps be a bit more gradatition from the light to the surrounding darker water, but I only thought that on second thought. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" />

The steampunkish style for the fish is very original and very well captured. I love the outrageous teeth, and the fine stained glass tail. Plate armour makes a whole lot of sense for a deep sea creature! And the winch for the light is a nice touch.

The one thing I don't quite get is the eye - is it standing out, button -like, with a drop shadow? But that might be unclear because the watermark is sitting right on top of it. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w…" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" />

All in all a very Inki-ish creation and one of your technically most finished images, from what I have seen.

Keep the good stuff coming!
