Description So here's the completed work. It turned out much better than I'd hoped considering it was my first time working with resin. 
I like the top view the best so I'm thinking my next fish will be in dishes or ponds. 
Let me know what you think and any tips for next time would be appreciated! I have a lot to learn about working with clay ^3^

Why haven't I commented on this.

    This is gorgeous! The color pattern looks so realistic,and the glitter on the fins is a nice touch. X3
  I just showed this to my mum and she keeps saying that she doesn't believe that this is not an actual fish.

awww I don't believe that! It just takes practice and lots of experimenting.  
I'm not even very good compared to what some people can do, its amazing.

WELL NO WONDER I DIDN'T GET THE COMPLETED VERSION  IN MY INBOX! GIRL THIS IS SO CUTE! Now you have your little desk guardian and your kio fish. Maybe next time add a bit more resin to fill it up more? That's about all the tips I could give because I have no experience whatsoever with resin. never even heard of it til now.

My desk is now safe, the little koi can keep artblock away!    
I like your suggestion of adding more resin. And I think the topview turned 
out the best

He's cute. And a little jar to put him in and decorate it with small fake plants would look cool. You could probably get the small plats they put in fish tanks at just about any pet store, or Walmart if the one you live by has that fish area. Would make a cute little decoration for your art desk.

Thats a wonderful idea! I may be able to use some of the fake 
plants from my snake terrarium. ^^
I'm also thinking of putting a few pebbles at the bottom as well.

JeanGal247 In reply to JourneyHorse [2015-05-17 17:19:17 +0000 UTC]

That could work! And the pebbles would hide the stand for the fish so it looks more realistic

yeah though the fish won't be on a stand but suspended in resin. 
i'll make sure to take some pictures once the resin fully dries.
