Fishing for drawing ideas

Story: I drew this pet fish base on the idea of a Siamese fighting fish. Beautiful to look at, however they can also be brutally wild. What if I could design a fish with these characteristic and adapt it to my own wacky ideas.

Call him Bubbly, his body and eyes is round like a goldfish with feathery floaty tail. But don’t be fooled by the pretty tail, camouflage is a hammer rock sitting above its head to knock out any naughty bad fishes.

Known to be the smallest water mammal creature which surface to the top when air is required, hence he has no gills. His head is hard as rock and tends to run into glass walls even though his eyes are big. Aquarium must be made from high grade shatter proof glass to contain this little bubbly. Pet owners must follow strict daily feeding instructions.

Bubbly is jut some random sketch I happen to catch while fishing for drawing ideas. You can do that too, just grab a pen and some paper and start drawing.

PS. Not as forgetful as Dory in Finding Nemo.
