Artist's Comments

This is a landlocked version of the Sockeye Salmon called the "Kokanee" When preparing to spawn, they grow a hump, and get a severe "kype", the hooks on the jaws.

Females lack the hump, but have the same brilliant red color. They aren't edible when they are like this, as they are literally rotting while alive. Their flesh becomes mushy and soft due to fungal infections.

Very welldone bro. Good Coloring and textures. I feel the brightness on the gills could come down a notch though but otherwise it is fine. To bad you can't eat the fish. The way you discribed the fish it was like it was undead or something.
