Description

A model I have recently made for myself as a logo. Just got started with textures and had a bit of a play. I used lightwave and ps here. Any crits or comments welcome thankyou.

There is actually a story behind this image. Years ago I was on holiday with family and my uncle droped his seeing glasses over the side of a wharf at night.So I offered to go and get them for him as I could see he was very upset about it. I got my mask and fins and a small underwater flashlight and dove off the wharf and made my way down to the sea bed. When I got there I was amazed to see so many things lying around down there. But with a limited amount of light I could not see too much at once. Then out of nowhere it suddenly appeared a big john dory fish that really gave me a fright and I have never forgotten that fish.
I found my uncles glasses sitting atop a pile of old junk at the bottom and returned to the surface with a story to tell.

The theory that the big dot on the side of the dory is supposed to represent another eye really rang true to me that night.

Not quite the blue angel we saw in "Finding Nemo" - these critters remind me of Piranha from the old 80s movies - - - but the lighting and enviroment are really well done! (thumbup) [+10]

I think the fish is excelletly done, but the image would have looked better with just one fish imo. They are so obviously cloned it would look way nicer.

Hi all thanks for your comments!
hennie I thought about not putting the other fish in the image because of just what you mentioned. But then I thought that these fish are like most other species of fish, They all look the same! so I went ahead and put them in.
The pose of each fish should probably differ more than what I have attempted so far,
Thanks again

Good image !

Maybe you should blur the small fishes a tiny bit or something just to get the focus on the big fish.

that's great and looks very real.. but I have something to critisize.. I find, it comes across a little bit boring because the fishes are just copied.. perhaps you should change some small details, so they look different or blurry them how johanflood proposed already..

but otherwise it's a great work! sorry for my bad english
