    Not sure exactly where this idea came from, just kinda popped into my head one day.

    The gravel pattern was created in Photoshop (I was lazy [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif[/img] ) but everything else is 100% Xara.

    The fish in this picture was modeled after a yellow tang. Yes, the colour pattern is similar to the dragon that I posted a while back, its a bit of an inside joke.

    I'm not very artistically minded, and as such am having a bit of trouble picking out things that are a bit odd. The only thing I've been able to pick out is the shading/highlighting on the fish... It makes it look a bit chiseled?

    Any comments/suggestions are much appreciated.

    I used to keep 2 large salt water tanks and love your fish image! The "chiseled" upper area gives it nice dimension (only as a "fish keeper" and in regards to this type of fish, does it remind of a concern called "wasting"---YIKES! But no one else would ever know, and artistically it gives it more form). Great job!!! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]

    The fish's fins - the glow wonderfully. I also like that brushed coral thing!

    I'm with the others too on this. I like the effect of the shading and highlight on the fish it works well.

    I also really like the water plant and the coloured gravel fill.

    Nice job!

    Regards
