[wip] Mudskipper
🕑 Added 2022-07-22 11:55:24 +0000 UTCOne of my favorite sea fish is goby. I've always wanted to draw a goby. This is a sketch of mudskipper that I uploaded years ago.
Here is a cute youtube link about them.

It's really cute how they roll around in the mud to stay hydrated. And spitting mud to build a house.
They are amphibious fish.
I expressed their pectoral fins a little differently than when I usually draw other fish. Just like the frog I usually draw.
It's really cool that they're just like fish when they're in the water...
This fish is also found in Korea...
Korea has famous and large tidal flats, so I would like to see them in person someday. Unfortunately I haven't been there yet, but it's on my bucket list.
They aren't usually this flashy.
At the time of mating, the color of the male changes markedly.
thank you!

Haha that's right, the way they vomit mud is so adorable. Existence itself is a wonderful fish! I'm glad you liked it. I wish there were more people who love this fish.

I love mudskippers! Ever since I found out they existed I was amazed. Crazy fish dudes that breath air and puke mud, 10/10 peak fish. I really like how you drew them, the colors are so vibrant

"Mudskipper"? Didn't know they have such a cute name in English XD. In Thai, we just call them "foot fish" (ปลาตีน) lol. The one with the heart mouth is so dang adorable!!
