The Fish Market bymairithetree

A few years ago, I directed a very short movie when I was studying at Gobelins school (you can find it here). This movie was called Umio. The young boy and the fish called Boru come from a story in which humanity evolved because of the water rising. A lot of them have turned into fishes or are about to with the exception of the teenager girl Reimi. This story never left my mind and I’m extremely happy to share this picture with you! I have always wanted to make it but it scared me to make it because I struggle with complex backgrounds. I’m very happy with the result and I can’t wait to create more illustrations from that same world <3. 

In this market, fishes can find all the algae and plankton they wish to eat. The design and aesthetic of this piece is inspired by the Tsukiji fish market in Tokyo.
