Tiger Fishing

Tiger fish

Fish

Trace and Flora has gone fishing.

Wait does it actually count even though Trace or caught the fish but Flora is also catching the same fish? I give it 100 out of 10 artwork as always

This one was always meant to be coloured, just for how beautiful it would come out when it was 😌

Careful of that hook, Flora. (I've had the experience of helping free a gull from a hook caught in its flesh. Luckily it was too exhausted from fighting the fishing line to object to being handled, and we tried to be as nonthreatening as possible... but I'm still surprised it held still while I waved a multitool around its face. Fishermen, _please_ recover broken line!)

one word. gorgeous!

I love how beautiful everything but the characters is...the riverbed, the sky/trees overhead only for Flora to be the prettiest thing in this picture. Your artwork is always impresses me.

Definitwly adfing this to my background scroll!

NOMNOMNOM

I would expect Flora's hair above the water to look differently

Thats one way to do it XD

I love this scene, but there's one thing that I can't get over (ASD brain, sorry) and that's her floofy fur and hair... Wet hair isn't floofy, and so neither is wet fur... Still, love what you did!

Sequel should be him scolding her while removing the hook from her mouth

wow your underwater painting is so beautiful!! it's amazing seeing how much your background painting skills have grown. I hope we can see more of that kind of art in your next art book if you ever publish another one 💜

OK Trace. Reel her in carefully.

Those water effects, this is fantastic!

The water is so alive in this. The Background would make great wallpaper.

This is why Trace hates going fishing.

I love seeing Flora being her adventurous tiger self. 🥰

So very gorgeous, adorable, wholesome, precious, charming, natural, and naked!

Flora: imma do a swim! Blub blub

Looks amazing with the underwater view!

so much love for detail. the water locks amazing. the different lighting is phenomenal with the underglow and all. There is so much motion in the water. this portrays just pure joy. Tom this is beautiful. thank you.

I always thought "catfishing" was something else. :3

Ooo… instead of catching a catfish, Trace caught a cat AND a fish!

True artistry! The detail is spectacular!

Awesome water effects.

Trace: "When you asked if I wanted to see a catfish, this isn't what I expected."

How to catch a Flora...

She can’t be this cute! >////<

I love the work you put on the water !

This came out superbly Tom, and I was really pleased to see this take 3rd place. Water's a real challenge to sell convincingly, but you've done an excellent job here. There's a lot of extra added detail from the sketch version including the flowing movement on the plants (nice one!), along with bubbles, splashes, and scattering on the water's surface. The lighting is really awesome as usual, and the caustics look even better in the colour version. Technically if you wanted to challenge yourself in future there might be an opportunity to make the crepuscular rays refract for slightly enhanced realism instead of taking a straight path through the water, but that's an incredibly minor detail. Otherwise I won't repeat what I said on the sketch. Beautiful work.

This looks way better than I ever could have imagined it in my head

Someone caught himself a catfish.

Aww Flora looks absolutely adorable and amazing in this sketch, I'm glad it won! :)

The water is stunning, as expected

Flora is so freaking adorable!
