This is my fish for the challenge, apparently I was in the mood for making it today. 

@Gaillycool That was quick! Nice fish! :)

@pacer thank you, I actually really like both drawing fish and making underwater environments in Inkscape, this is the first successful fish I have made

Hello, everyone!

This is my entry for the challenge. It is a tribute to a character from a Brazilian TV show from the 1990s. You can see the original opening here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0B_vPD9Mo0o

I did not trace it, btw. I made it from scratch using Inkscape and Krita for a quick sketch. 

Brutal Feedback I guess? :P

Cat Fish!

Not quite a fish, but dead Cthulhu who sleeps in R'lyeh and has arisen.

This was a bit of a play around as an homage to H.P. Lovecraft. Thought some might appreciate it.
