This is the 5th of 6 pieces I'm making for the DST Art From the Cube contest.
I'm really pleased with the way this one turned out. This is probably the most wild patterning and coloring job I've ever done... Er, this week.
Inspiration comes to me from many sources, and two of my favorites are large tropical flowers and small tropical fish. The hibiscus flower rules the day, but not the color scheme. Christmas wrasse and the East-Indies parrotfish inspired the patterns and colors of the pegasi. I did deviate quite a bit from the actual fish patterns, but the colors are all there.
This one is Prismacolor pencil over a watercolor wash - a technique with which I'm very comfortable. Not much experimentation for this one; not nearly as much as some of the other contest pieces. But I needed a sure-fire winner, at least in my own mind.
This one is actually fairly small, too. It's 11x14 inches. I completed it in approximately 20 hours over the course of about a week.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces.

We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
