Underwater Swarm

[Ron Harris]

Meet my little friends!!!! muhhahahaha...

modeled from a sphere, painted and textured and grabbed and the masses then were created on another layer using the grabbed image and simple brush and the drag rect. stroke using different intensities to simulate depth. Hope everyone is alright. Had to basically take the week off and work work work in the real world...grrrrr

They're the biggest, baddest, butchest bunch of neon tetras that I've ever seen - oops! no, they're red-breasted pirhanas - there goes another finger! :tu: :D

Ron?? Heyas, excellent, excellent work on these fish. I love the shiny quality of them. I also appreciate how you made the distant fish darker and fade into the background. You seem to have gotten a powerful grasp on TextureMaster, as well. The fish look great.

:tu: :tu: :tu:

Good work Ron,

Looks like I could reach out and grab one

[Ron Harris]

wowsers!!! you all have suprised me with your overwhelming responses on my little friends here. For this fish I simply just paint the model without texture master. Though there will be a better revision of the critters soon. I turn the z add off and use the RGB mode only. Once the base colors are down I then used a few different alphas to paint the scales/textures on. I also put the eyes on a separate layer. Thanks again for visiting one of my doodles.
