#fish yeah

Even though I knew what it looked like in my head, I still glanced at a few picture references of front-facing fish with their mouths open so that I had a general idea of placement and color choices. I took some creative liberties with the mouth and teeth though, haha!

And why is it called [FISH YEAH]? Because I was staring at a notepad document with my housemates as we were gathered around to brainstorm dinner for the week. One of them hesitantly bring up fish, which was also an idea I entertained. My inner reaction to that was to "see" a funny fish going FISH YEAH!! on the blank area of the notepad.

The second image is a continuation of the palette mix idea I played with last time. Nothing fancy going on here, though I drew the circles in a 3x3 grid guide that I made. Or rather, I drew the line-art of the circular shape before copy-pasting 3 in a row and then copy-pasting the rows to get 9 circles.

[palette mix 2] still features similar colors to the first idea, but I made an effort to choose warmer, more saturated options.

In other news, it's quite hard to stay focused on merch releases when the workload outside of art revs up. At one point during my writing procrastination, I ended up designing a whole parody design for a black water bottle to make it look like a soy sauce bottle. Surely it'll be a head turner once I get around to it. But that'll have to be sometime after releasing pandesal misadventures!
