[wip] Mudskipper (Patreon)

One of my favorite sea fish is goby. I've always wanted to draw a goby. This is a sketch of mudskipper that I uploaded years ago.

Here is a cute youtube link about them.

It's really cute how they roll around in the mud to stay hydrated. And spitting mud to build a house.

They are amphibious fish.

I expressed their pectoral fins a little differently than when I usually draw other fish. Just like the frog I usually draw.

It's really cool that they're just like fish when they're in the water...

This fish is also found in Korea...

Korea has famous and large tidal flats, so I would like to see them in person someday. Unfortunately I haven't been there yet, but it's on my bucket list.

They aren't usually this flashy.

At the time of mating, the color of the male changes markedly.

thank you!
