I actually did this a couple months ago but forgot to ever upload it. So here is the white goldfish, about 5 months late.

Adobe Photoshop CS3 with a Wacom tablet.

Wow. I love the scales! Did you do them all freehand? If not, I'd love to hear how you made them!

Thanks! I made a scale repeat pattern in photoshop, at this point just black and white art. (Just flat scalloped pattern.) Then I brought it in as a new layer onto the goldfish, then used transform>warp to follow the shape of the body. (did that in 2 passes so it would follow both the tail and the curves of the belly.)

Then I wand selected the black scales and hid that layer, then did my airbrushing on the goldfish layer to do highlights, then inversed the selection to darken the lines between the scales.

This is definitely an underrated pic. It looks so realistic... and as a fish keeper, I can't possibly pass it by. A definite fave :)
