Snook | FishEyez Digital Painting by AJ Brockman

in #art7 years ago

Here is the next installment of my FishEyez series! Back in 2012, I started this series to highlight some of the most popular tropical fish here in South Florida that also happens to be the best tasting. Always trying to diversify, this is a different more contemporary approach to my artwork. I was inspired by a more pop art focused color scheme and the final product was printed on a floated acrylic which completed the vibrant display. Much to my surprise, this has become one of my best-selling series of all time. We can find beauty or art anywhere in the world around us, we just have to know where to look. One of the more obvious examples of this is mother nature and the truly breathtaking creatures we cohabitate with. You can see the first fish in the series here.

This is the common snook. Also known as (Centropomus undecimalis) this is a species of marine fish in the family Centropomidae of the order Perciformes. The common snook is also known as the sergeant fish or robalo. It was originally assigned to the sciaenid genus Sciaena; Sciaena undecimradiatus and Centropomus undecimradiatus are obsolete synonyms for the species. One of the largest snooks, Centropomus undecimalis grows to a maximum overall length of 140 centimetres (4.6 ft) but common length is 50 centimetres (1.6 ft). The IGFA world record is 24.32 kg (53 lb 10 oz) caught in Parismina Ranch, Costa Rica by an angler named Rafael Montalvo. Of typical centropomid form, it possesses drab coloration except for a distinctive black lateral line. It can also possess bright yellow pelvic and caudal fins, especially during spawn.

SIDE NOTE : Can you see the hidden surprise in this image? Please comment below with your guess. (HINT : it is hidden in the namesake of this series). The answer will be revealed at the bottom of this post.

ANSWER : There is a diver in the eye of the fish. The reflection is as if someone were actually taking its picture. This is the only 100% digital image I use in any of my pieces.

What a creativity man. Reflection of Diver in the eye of fish wooow.

the truth that the reflexes are amazing @marianocastro

Thank you, yes, I thought it was a nice touch! Glad you think the same.

Perhaps this is the most amazing digital painting have ever seen! It's very realistic. I like the details of light reflections. I'll be back for more!

Wow, thank you so much… Always appreciate your support!

Good painting!
Fish is good for our health rather than eating meat. Its easy to digest and dont have so much fat same to that of the meat.

Agreed, love me some fish!

Looks Cool!...:)...

Thank you!
