I wanna draw some fish! I'd use my own boy, Major Tom, as a model, but his tail is a mess (he's too curious for his own good, is all I'll say on that). I love him dearly, but he is no model. So post a pic with your betta and its beautiful tail! I don't want any gill flaring, though. I'll also send you the final product when I'm finished. I'll only be picking 3. These may also be used in my Etsy store portfolio/shared on my artist social media accounts. Thanks!

here are a few... you can pick one depending on what colour or tail type. I do have girl pictures if you want them!

She’s a girl, maybe not flashy, but has a sweet face. She was on sdiscount at Petco. She probably would have not lived long if I hadn’t bought her, she’d probably been in that cup as a little baby. The way she looked at me in the store, she was different than the others. She was trying to connect with me. It worked! I just adore her.

if you do draw him make sure to share pics!
He looks like my baby, Oscar! Oscar did not last long for unknown reasons, so I have a special place for those kinds of bettas.
I'll pick the 3 fish tonight and announce them so I can work on them this week.

When I got her, her body was more off white/pale yellow and her fins were red but there wasn’t that blue tint running through them, it was more white. She’s really getting more vibrant!
 
hey! I have a whole album of pictures of my fish lexi, so if you wanted to draw him that would give you a bunch of references. some pictures are clearer than others, and theres also a video of him moving around if you're interested in looking:

This is my sweetie Speckle. She just got out of quarantine a week ago for a body infection, Kanaplex and Furan-2 were required but she cleared up. I love her so much, she’s just so social for a fish! She’ll swim right up to the edge of her tank and “follow” me around my room as best she can. I just can’t put words to how sweet this little fishy is! Her blue eyes are gorgeous in my opinion. I wish I could breed her but my parents have a 1 tank no larger than 10 gallons rule.

I won't be drawing anything anytime soon! My first grad school class started the other week, and between that, being a teacher at the end of the school year, and trainings for my summer job, my time is short! Hopefully later in the summer I can pick it back up, though.
