A fish's dreams should stay in the sea.
This was my entry for the Digital Art's "Envy" Contest which started on dA's 7th birthday. The challenge was to, quote: "Create a piece of digital art that conveys the emotion of Envy." In my piece the little fish is envious of the birds, soaring through the sky. He wishes that he too could be up there flying. As some of you might notice this piece was greatly inspired by Dave Matthews Bands song Big Eyed Fish. NEWSFLASH!: I won! You can find my winning entry along with the other winners here! This was a little bit different for me to create, since I normally focus on depicting a person (normally female) in my photomanipulations. But it was nice to get this opportunity to try something new Thanks to these nice people for letting me use their stock: phantompanther-stock zemmiphobia grace_stock StockCity jajejijoju [note: I thought I might explain for those interested to know more about what lies behind this picture. The fish is, as you perhaps have not thought of, soaring through the sky towards some horrible rocks. But, it is merely symbolic. It could be a girl envious of another, it could be a poor man envious of a rich man - the thing is, it hurts when you set out to achieve a goal, a dream, and get struck down mercilessly. But maybe just Trying makes up for it. The little fish wanted to fly sooo badly, and he did, for a wonderful couple of seconds - maybe it was worth it. I just wanted to portray that with this picture.] |
