FEEEESH!
Animal anatomy Final!

LOLs I felt really silly sitting among my classmates who all created proper portfolio work such as digital paintings, clay sculptures, and animations. But I hope this reflects a unique artistic flare in my portfolio someday, though I know I will need to make some touchups before then.

Red/blue=betta
Orange/yellow=Blood Parrot
Green/yellow=Lemon Tetra

Each fish started as a base of aluminum foil and glued metallic origami paper strips to normally flat origami paper for the fins. Then folded lots of paper star bases for the scales. Starting from the tail of the fish and working forward, finishing with the lips.
I bought out the store's supply of metallic paper so Unfortnately the Betta fish's color was not true to my ref pictures. Also, I hope to build a proper kusudama specifically to match the fish. Just used the one I completed a while back cause stupid fishies took waaay longer than expected and ran out of time. *sigh*

O3O!
