bassnbrad Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Thanks y'all It was actually pretty easy, meticulous but easy. Painted the regular colors of the body in the hues of the fish, then used the raised scale pattern as a guide. Each dot was painted twice with a hypodermic needle. Once with a base blue then with a pearl blue. It was just one of those patterns that I had not seen painted before and wanted to see what it would come out like...
