This is from an OAC topic posted a few weeks ago. My first version of this was absolutely horrifying. Click here if you want to see my first attempt. I was just trying to stay loose and go with the idea of combining a fish and flamingo - which in reality may not be a very pretty creature. After the first try, I decided to try a design that would be more whimsical and appealing.

It's interesting to see your first attempt. I like the brushwork in it, but I have to admit, it is a little CREEPY! Thanks for sharing!! ^.^
Lovin' the style on this one Dave! Super fun stuff! Definitely a great way to start off the new year. Keep 'em comin' man!
You've got such graphic style. You're backgrounds set your stuff apart so I know that it's you without seeing a name. Nicely done. I'm also diggin' they personality and character that the Fishmingo (Flamingish?) had with minimal detail. I'll take two of the pink ones for my backyard. The ones in the back look like they may bite, and I have kids playing back there. Take it easy!.
theses characters are awesome!!
jeez! you're right. this one is so fun! the first attempt freaked me out.
i love the fishmingo in the BG to the right. he looks liek he's about to fall over. :)
Wow - big difference. Thanks for sharing Dave. Creepy is the right word with that fish face in the original but I do like seeing the brush strokes and general treatment of it all.
Interesting to see the mental gears switch.
Hey!!Dave Your work is Great.I'LOVE YOUR JOB!!!!!!
Yeah, this is really really nice. I love the background fishmingos too :)
Of course, me being who I am, I like the original, discarded version because he looks like he HATES being a fishmingo and doesn't like the fact that he's being looked at. Creepy isn't always a bad thing... it created that rich subtext in my head. But that's my problem, not yours and I'm going to see a therapist immediately.
great work!! I love the shapes and the design, very nice!! The fish with the teeth are super cool!
