Angler Fish by Firedrake
Angler fish really are quite remarkable creatures! They live in the deep deep sea, further down than the light can reach, so to lure their prey in total darkness, they have rigged up a system of light emitting devices. They are not turned on here (as he is in the light, and they use up a lot of power so he only turns them on when he is hungry).
Watercolour, chalk pastel, ink, conte on canvas.

THIS IS AWESOME!!! Such an amazing fish. Great take on the “Light Rig” and your colour, ink detail and textures are amazing.
Noticed you don’t do Tee’s? Such a shame. Octopus & this beauty would look so good!
Thanks!
Tees are something I’ve been meaning to do for ages…I’d like to do a kind of designed version for a tee, rather than just the photo of the painting. So I keep putting it off! One day….
