This fan-made image, which was originally planned to be finished and published way earlier to celebrate Help! I’m A Fish’s 20th anniversary since its release, is the product of a passionate and ambitious collaboration in which a group of eight people poured their hearts and souls into bringing it to existence. These people being incredibly talented artists, wonderful friends, as well as genuine lovers of the charming animated little fish movie Stefan Fjeldmark blessed our world with. 

We thank you, Mr. Fjeldmark, for creating such a fantastic gem of a film, and we wish you the best. 

Participants:

@jazzlmao (aka The Durrie Muncher): Painted the surface (water, sky, Pride Rock™) and filled in the gradient underwater atmosphere. 

@pterosauridae (aka Lan/Ellie): Painted the underwater background scenery (corals, sand, mountains) and enhanced the water, the sky and Pride Rock™. 

@froskii (aka Morgan): Added shading & lighting to the characters.
