The Month In Fish Pictures "year 12" April/may 2019!!!!!!!

Who's replica is this ,thanks Rich.

 

looks home made, maybe one of those mailboxes.....

 

If your referring to the fish I posted yesterday, not appreciated. My second fish ever painted. I couldn't really afford to purchase the 240 dollar blank and was a deal I couldn't pass up if you need to know it was from Archie Phillips signature series close out, not from the mail box. Thought this was a critique free forum. and if wanted opinions I would've asked! Oh ya I did it for my sons b day of a fish he caught a while back.I will keep on painting, and when I am able, I will buy one of those 240 dollar ones! Have a great day!, Sincerely, Winston

 

Very nice job on your 2nd paint job Winston. You definitely have some natural painting abilities.

 

Yes looks good ,and just cause you pay more for a replica doesn't mean it will be better,I've bought alot of expensive junk.

Nice job painting the bass. I think the jokes are because the Anatomy of the fish. Looks like it has a broken tail. Which is not your fault at all. Again nice art work

 

Since OldYeller started a critique, I feel I need to defend you! Yes, nice job especially for a second fish. There's a couple of minor issues but yes that tail! I don't know about broken, but it looks HUGE for that fish. It appears as the tail is going in, not out. If so it's probably for another fish much bigger. If I were you I would grind off the last 1/2" of material and touch up the edge and I think that alone will make it look a lot better. Otherwise, very nice for a second paint job! And it will mean so much to your son coming from you!

 

Winston, I have not done very many fish but I have done a few and I think you did a great job. I am sure your son will be very happy with it ! Keep up the good work. Looks great.

 

whoa!!
Sorry if I offended....
Rich asked a question, I tried to answer it. No critique, no judgement.
the blank is obviously hand made! anatomy is terrible, fins oversized, undersized, and out of place! should have stayed a mail box!
And yes this is a critique free page, but since the beat down, I will chime in...
You truly know how to paint, and your son will love it!
but I must say it would have looked much nicer on a better blank.
what I see is a beautiful Porsche paint job on an old jalopy.

Thanks, I guess I need to be more mindful of the blanks I will use, and thanks for the kind comments on the paint job, and to everyone else thanks. Winston

 

Really Like your paint work! enjoy Taxidermy as you wish and let it slide when someone makes a comment.
