As a result, I fled my furnace of a room for downstairs, and the fishtank outdoors. I admit to being fond of fish in general (both aesthetically and as food, yes.) They just tend to be a bit lively to draw when they're darting around. Ours are, as you can see, rather fat. They're a mixture of Japanese carp and huge-bellied goldfish that look frighteningly obese. They're cute.
Right after the goldfish, it was time for Batman. Marco? This. Is. Entirely. Your. Fault. I -have- excessive testosterone levels, see! (and it's noir because I can't for the life of me draw the style you did. I so suck.) The colour is a lot better for real; I just don't take very good photos.
And while I'm at it, this is the infamous Hammering Station for my metal and wirework jewellery:
These are the first bracelets and hammered charms I made my first day back on vacation:
These are the first rings I ever made and the green one is singularly screwed up because I had to use pliers to make a bend in it to stop the metal bead from running away:
This is Aliera, the ring that's companion to the Loiosh Bracelet (Aliera is a noblewoman of Dragaera with a honkin' huge Great Weapon of Doom):
This is a bracelet commissioned by a friend, and yes, fish again!
And I'm still working on another piece of chainmaille bracelet - this one the Sha's Fire Draegaran bracelet, in Byzantine weave.
Do they have Chainmaille Addictions Anonymous perhaps?

Hi Shuku, love your hammering station, very neat. Wish I have one like that although I don't do a lot of hammering myself. If need to, I do my hammering on the floor...:)...my mom-in law must be swearing at me silently....Opps!:P. Sometimes I am very tempted to turn one unused corner of the house into my work corner, but...but....one day - *sigh*
I don't know how available such a thing is over there, but there's a great Canadian-published magazine called Wire Artist Jeweller that I think would have great ideas you might be interested in.
If you can't get 'em there, let me know, I can mail you some of my back issues.
And of course I google AFTER I post ...
https://www.wirejeweler.com/ is the editor's website.
Good stuff! I'm also fond of fish...it's good eatin'!
Btw, glad you like the b/w comps. I noticed your previous comments so I thought i just had to make more...since you asked so nicely. In other words, it's your fault. :P
haha they're really fat! so cute :)
hey shuku, i love the two rings you made, are you sure that was your first attempt? ;) keep it up!!
Shuku! these fish are fantastic, it looks like they are in motion!
Wonderful jewelry. I like what you are doing with the necklace.
