Aye, these guys too:

, which I think have probably some of the best humanized fish eyes (in a cartoony style) I've seen around.


That's a really western style, I usually prefer anime-ish styles. But yeah, those fish are definitely cute, and I've never seen that movie I should probably rent it.

I want to help design a "sandpark" MMO. Optional interactive story with quests and deeply characterized NPCs, plus sandbox elements like player-craftable housing and lots of other crafting. If you are starting a design of this type, please PM me. I also love pet-breeding games.

I think it needs to look "dumber" or helplessler (sp?)...

See how the eyes look like out of their orbits...

It's like they have never seen their own ass in their whole life!

oh! And spines! spines spines spines everywhere.


Erm, but, I don't want them to look dumb and helpless? In the game these fish are for, fish are supposed to be cool, beautiful, capable of great dignity or ethereality, and cleverly escaping from you unless you outmanuver them. Like Pokemon or pretty, dramatic monsters in an RPG like Final Fantasy or WoW.

Spines are cool though. This is the basic most common fish (I probably colored it too dramatically), but some of the rarer ones will definitely have spines, double fins, and interesting body shape variations.


Fishs are dumb. They are less evolved than reptiles. They live in a never changing enviroment, like a placenta. The great dignity and ethereality is just a projection of a bunch of oppresed medieval chinese folks.

If you really want to give dignity and strenght to a fish, give it arms, muscles and a fire-arm. Maybe a tatoo and an eye patch.

Ouch! Those scales do look like corn on the cob. They also sort of look like knitting, reminds me of the cover of the Sonic Youth album, Dirty.

Fwiw, Finding Nemo is pretty good.
