[ study ] Chimaera
🕑 Added 2020-07-26 08:59:30 +0000 UTCChimaera are probably the least well-known Cartilaginous fishes.
For a long time, I used to think they were just a kind of shark.
Because our country calls them 'silver sharks'.
It's called 'ghost shark' in English, so I think a lot of people would think like me.
They mostly live in the deep sea, it was hard to find living references.
But here are some videos.
Look at them swimming. Very soft and elegant.
Well, they live in the deep sea, so maybe I paint them on the dark background.
Or... I'm thinking about drawing it in a pastel-bright mood.
People have a scary feeling about them, and a bright mood can help to change it.
I will probably test both at the coloring stage and decide.

Ahh these are so cool to see! I love when a little-known fish gets recognition 😁 nice job managing to make the scary lines on their faces look cute! I always imagined them like metal plates bolted onto their faces 😬
