The water is stunning, as expected

Aww Flora looks absolutely adorable and amazing in this sketch, I'm glad it won! :)

Someone caught himself a catfish.

This looks way better than I ever could have imagined it in my head

This came out superbly Tom, and I was really pleased to see this take 3rd place. Water's a real challenge to sell convincingly, but you've done an excellent job here. There's a lot of extra added detail from the sketch version including the flowing movement on the plants (nice one!), along with bubbles, splashes, and scattering on the water's surface. The lighting is really awesome as usual, and the caustics look even better in the colour version. Technically if you wanted to challenge yourself in future there might be an opportunity to make the crepuscular rays refract for slightly enhanced realism instead of taking a straight path through the water, but that's an incredibly minor detail. Otherwise I won't repeat what I said on the sketch. Beautiful work.

Trace: "When you asked if I wanted to see a catfish, this isn't what I expected."

True artistry! The detail is spectacular!

Ooo… instead of catching a catfish, Trace caught a cat AND a fish!

I always thought "catfishing" was something else. :3

I love seeing Flora being her adventurous tiger self. 🥰

This is why Trace hates going fishing.

The water is so alive in this. The Background would make great wallpaper.

Those water effects, this is fantastic!

OK Trace. Reel her in carefully.

Kioshe

wow your underwater painting is so beautiful!! it's amazing seeing how much your background painting skills have grown. I hope we can see more of that kind of art in your next art book if you ever publish another one 💜

Sequel should be him scolding her while removing the hook from her mouth

Vivi Fox

He caught a catfish

I love this scene, but there's one thing that I can't get over (ASD brain, sorry) and that's her floofy fur and hair... Wet hair isn't floofy, and so neither is wet fur... Still, love what you did!

Drazgon

I would expect Flora's hair above the water to look differently

Definitwly adfing this to my background scroll!

I love how beautiful everything but the characters is...the riverbed, the sky/trees overhead only for Flora to be the prettiest thing in this picture. Your artwork is always impresses me.

one word. gorgeous!

Careful of that hook, Flora. (I've had the experience of helping free a gull from a hook caught in its flesh. Luckily it was too exhausted from fighting the fishing line to object to being handled, and we tried to be as nonthreatening as possible... but I'm still surprised it held still while I waved a multitool around its face. Fishermen, _please_ recover broken line!)

AstroChaos

This one was always meant to be coloured, just for how beautiful it would come out when it was 😌

Wait does it actually count even though Trace or caught the fish but Flora is also catching the same fish? I give it 100 out of 10 artwork as always
