Illustration Friday ~ Artificial

The goldfish (Carassius auratus roboticus) is an any kind of water fish in the family Cyprinidae roboticus of the order Cypriniformes roboticus. It is one of the latest fish to be domesticated, and is one of the most commonly kept aquarium fish because of it’s hardiness.

Don’t believe me? Look it up!

  1. Love this, it reminds me of the fish vessels in the puppet series Stingray. Their hinged mouth used to open to fire a torpedo. You could always see the strings. Except yours is a nice fish and only fire those bubbles.

  2. This is great, love the scales, detail, colour scheme, composition… all of it :)

  3. are you sure? never heard of that and i think it’s only a made up kinda fish and story but don’t be sad that i got you it is a really great idea and you should round the story my mind’s already on it right now your goldie has a real charming robotic smile and his eyes make me wanna play tag with him

  4. You got me Lili, my goldie is completely made up! What a clever girl you are!

  5. Lovely robot fishy! I noticed on illustrationmundo you are on of the only illustrators listed in the Houston area. I just moved to Houston so “Hello Neighbor!” :)

  6. Hello goldie! I hope you can speak too!
    You’ve design a beautiful and cheerful fish, Roberta!

    Quite the beautiful fish, but there is something about the eyes that say she might not be as harmless as she looks!

  8. I love this Roberta! You managed to give him such a wonderful personality, great job!

  9. Hehehe, they should really start selling these in pet shops… would save a lot of heartbroken children, since they won’t be seeing their fishy floating dead the day after they bought them. And a huge relief for parents too! No more flushing fishy down the toilet!! Great idea, Roberta. :))

  10. Beautiful Fish!!! :)
