Pixelart Contest- #1- Theme: Fish

Hello everyone! Welcome to the first Pixelart community contest! The main goal is to have some fun ;)

The winner will get this post's total payout number but in Hive. Anyone can donate to the prize pool. Minimum prize pool is 5 Hive. I'll pick the winner, your post quality can influence my choice.

I chose fish because it's summer and maybe the next contest theme will be the sea ;)

Extra: if we have 3+ entries- 1 random entry will win 2 hive.

● Most important- Only Original Art!!
● No copying other pixelart
● You can use photo reference.
● Non-traditional pixelart is welcome: like color pencils on paper
● No auto-pixel filters allowed
● At least 1 in progress picture

I'm more lenient for the rest of the rules.

●Make a post
● You must post or cross-post in Pixelart community.
● Share your art preview and post link the comments
● Use pixelart as one of your tags.
● Recommended: comment on at least 1 other entry in this contest
● ヽ(　･∀･)ﾉ Remember to put some effort into how you write your post- OCD is watching ;)
● Minimum 1 fish, feel free to draw more, but it will count as one entry.

Deadline is Wednesday 23.7, 23:00 UTC/GMT
I'll announce the winner and next contest theme on thursday, around same time as this post.
Feel free to ask any questions or add any suggestions in the comments.

I drew the cover image fish a few years ago. The fish above is from today and I'll make the process post (semi tutorial) in a couple of days.
