A Fisherman's Shirt Design

A friend of mine came to me asking for an image of a halibut's tail for a shirt he wanted to make.  The markings on the tail of a halibut are unique, so this would be the tail of the largest fish he and his crew caught last season.  I painted up the tail, boat, and water in Gimp and he took it, added the words and the fishing grounds background.  I'm super happy with the way it turned out.  I think he did an awesome job.

It was a lot of fun painting the tail and the boat.  My friend provided me with a ton of reference photos so the actual image was a breeze to make.
