So for my next trick... er, project...

[kriadydragon]

So for my next sculpting project I really, really want to do a sea-serpent - something kind of sea-horse and dragon-esque. I have an idea of what I want to do but I can't decide on the coloring.

I'm thinking about doing something like a lion fish, which would be cool, but I would really, really love to do something with a lot more color in it. Maybe something like this.



Or maybe it would be possible to combine the two? Either way, I want something that really stands out visually. I've been researching tropical fish, but if anyone knows of any fish with some really interesting or awesome colors let me know.

Well you could do the seahorse/dragon and color it like the pic above? It would look pretty cool.

Yeah, I am kind of leaning toward that. It would be nicely vivid, but I would really love to use a myriad of colors, or something that's even more vivid (like this one fish that I can't remember the name of so can't find a picture of, but it's colors are - if I remember correctly - shades of red and blue that just pop like crazy).
