Finished my portrait of Omicron! It’s really hard to get accurate photos of the painting, since I have indoor lighting and some of the paints are reflective. He initially flared at it the first second he saw it; now he can’t stop studying it. I think it looks like uncanny valley to him and bewilders him a little.
If you want a portrait like this for your fish, let me know! Contact me here on tumblr, at deviantart, or e-mail at inthe13thhour(at)yahoo(dot)com. Pricing will depend on how complex the fish is (more intricate patterns take longer), but I’m thinking in the $25-$45 range (cost of materials included; shipping depends on your location but should be less than $5 in the US). The canvas is about 2.25in x 2.25in and comes with a matching display easel. Alternatively, you can request a same-size colored pencil illustration, in case you would rather have something flat that you can frame.
I also take commissions for lots of other things, like pets, people, web graphics (banners, backgrounds, sidebar images, signatures for your blog or site), tattoos…. the list goes on and on!

I don’t know if they actually like this “invertivore” food or if they’re just obsessed with the mouthfeel of repashy. The neons would otherwise finish it off, but the otos are too pushy / too impatient to go over to their own food.
The otos loooove hiding under their branches, but I’m trying to lure them into hanging out upfront with food and a bit of a rescape (feat. neon & rcs, masters of photobombing)

Otos are still best fish, but it really warms my heart to have neons that do enthusiastic dances for food
