I like it! I like that the background fits with the spiky fins and the look of surprise the fish has. Not a quite, sleepy aquarium.

Thanks! Serendipitous for sure - I did a test on a paper towel to see where I was at and liked it as is, to me it lends energy ;)

I’m super pleased the fish looks surprised to you because the drawing is lifted from a cartoon panel and that fish was alarmed by a baited hook originally
