Just making a mess on this skateboard for a new commission I have.  Needed to paint a few fish and thought the colors of these two would go together well, and pop nicely off the blue background.  Brown trout and Rainbow trout both have some really vibrant scales that lend themselves well to painting, especially when you throw in a bit of metallic paint.  Got it all painted out and ready to ink now, time to do a bit of drawing :)
