PEACOCK GROUPER Cephalopholis argus ( NOT A PHOTOGRAPH OR PHOTOMANIP)by DilettantO
First of 4 digital paintings created using Corel Painter X for a WWF First Day Cover envelope issue for Aitutaki featuring 2 kinds of Grouper: Peacock and Tomato. This is the first of the 2 ‘Peacocks’ and is shown in the unvignetted version.
A very impressive looking fish!! Given that there’s such a huge amount of detail in the entire piece, I guess you’ve been working on it all day, or longer. Great outcome anyway – hope the powers that be are pleased with it……they should be……XXXX
Thanks Lozzie. Errr….two and a half days’ worth in fact. The fish and the background took about as long as eachother, but I might be able to use the background again an the other design, with a bit of tweaking.XXXX
