Illustration Friday - Spotted


It’s funny that the first thing that came to my mind when I received ‘spotted’ from Illoannaunce was the English dish ‘Spotted Dick’ Ha! Ha! That would be ridiculous to draw now, if not impossible for me.

I am still high on colors rather than form it seems, so I’ll just continue with my sea- creature theme. It’s a Red Sea Bass, the last time I saw this fish was in the wet market of Dungun, Trengganu (East Coast, West Malaysia), the red is so vibrant that it seems to glow. Wonder how it would taste in a curry dish….

Question: Sea Bass = Ikan Siakap? Can anyone confirm this?


**Correction - I've just found out that it's not a Sea Bass, it's actually a Spotted Coral Cod!
