It looks so three-dimensional.

Wow, that's really cool. Do we call you Bluefish now, instead of Redbird?

That's terrific! Very nice shading.

It looks fabulous, so nicely done! Congratulations on a lovely piece.

Wow, that's so beautifully done! It looks so alive- most of the textbook drawings are so flat. I particularly like the shading around the head and gills- very 3D! It was a good idea to add the orange.

An amazingly good combination of looking real and looking pretty, with what is after all not really a very pretty fish!

It's lovely!

Say, where do you get your work done?

Lovely!

You have a pretty coelacanth on your body, that's so cool! I'm deeply impressed.

Nifty!

Beautiful!

Wow! Even better than it looked on paper!

[identity profile] baldanders.livejournal.com 2005-10-02 04:24 pm (UTC)(link)
That is one of the coolest tattoos I have ever seen.

[identity profile] baratron.livejournal.com 2005-10-02 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow!

If I was less of a wuss then...

I don't know that much about tattoos. Wil it always be this vivid and detailed, or do modern tattoos still fade and smudge as they heal?

Either way, congratulations on getting something done that obviously means a lot to you. Is the timing (a change to your body close to Rosh Hashanah/Yom Kippur, to begin the year) coincidental or intended?

Very nice work.

I'm not one to praise tattoos, but that one's really nice.

Hi, I wandered over from 'Making Light' to see. (Nice fish!)

Do you know the Shriekback song "Coelocanth" from about 20 years ago now? (Shriekback was a spin off from The Gang of Four)

I'm so suggestible that just seeing your picture will have the song playing in my head for the next couple of days.
