Painted and inked Polymer clay fish

Well I managed to finish a couple of fish today - although I am not sure what I will do with them.  I need to make 5 charms for a swap - so I might use one of them towards the five.
 They took a long time to paint and I had to leave them for hours and do them in stages
They are looking pale in the photograph.
In reality they are shades of silver, blue, and salmon - all metallic colours blended to show up the scales - and some 'dirty' brown mix of acrylic paint to add a bit of depth and interest to the segments.

These look so realistic! You're doing wonderful things with clay.

I love the metallic sheen-it catches the light just like real fish!

Wow Lottie, wish I could see them in real life, they look good on here, but would be lovely to see all the different shades that you've mentioned in the post.

The sheen of different colours looks fab and I bet it looks even more life-like "in the flesh"!
