#SundayFishSketch is a quick little Red Handfish, since he ended up being the fish of choice for my field trip presentation this week!

An exciting graduate opportunity, but also…what in the fish??? 🧐🧐🧐
@lampichthys.bsky.social if you are looking for an upcoming #sundayfishsketch theme, imagining what this fish looks like from a lateral view could be fun 👀
Day 4 - #Cactus
A Porcupine Fish (Diodon hystrix) doing its best barrel cactus impression.
Looks like something socked them in the eye, causing the puff-up?

Shovelnose sturgeon - hackleback, sand sturgeon, or switchtail #SundayFishSketch #sciart 🐡
A blue wing olive mayfly and matching fly fishing lure for #SciArtSeptember / #SundayFishSketch 27 “quill.” Fly fishing lures aim to imitate small invertebrate prey of fish by combining natural and artificial materials, with quills making great segmented bodies for aquatic insect models.

Also coincidentally finished this just in time for Sunday Fish Sketch
For the last #SciArtSeptember #SundayFishSketch, Day 27 Quill I did a lionfish which was an ambitious choice when I’m getting over a bug I picked up at the conference 😅
27. Quill. Porcupine fish.
I'm knackered and had to dig deep for that one.
Day 26 - #quill
A Quillback (Carpoides cyprinus). A medium-sized sucker that inhabits local rivers with gravel/sandy bottoms.
If anyone has a good tutorial on doing scales…I generally avoid them like the plague, as you can see why here.

Starting the 3rd page with these funny looking Lebanese pycnodonts: Corusichthys, Maraldichthys and Gladiopycnodus
I added another little painting to my Ko-fi - a smol and very red Chaunacops.
The reference was Nautilus footage. 🐡

For #SundayFishSketch x Day 27 of #SciArtSeptember #Quill here is Ariopsis felis, the hardhead catfish. Which anyone who has fished the southeastern U.S. coast will have caught and cursed at loudly at least once. Those fin spines *HURT* 🐡🦑🧪
Our last, but not least, #SundayFishSketch and #SciartSeptember #Fishytheme is this weekend. Thank you @lizlagomorph.bsky.social for an awesome month of sciart. This Sunday use the prompt word ‘Quill’. There’s literally fish that have quill in their name!! Looking forward to seeing those fishes. 🦑
