Betta Male
Hello everybody!! How have you been? I hope that very good. Today I bring you one of my drawings from last year. This was inspired by the betta fish. I could not say how I got there, but at that moment I started to watch several videos and look for information about these fish and I loved them, their colors, patterns and ... I do not know but I loved it. This character has no name for now, is male and is inspired by the betta fish with a fantail. It should be noted that it has as a mixture of different types of betta fish, for example it has a tail mainly inspired by the betta with a fantail but with a likeness to a betta fish with double tail but instead of being double it is triple. (I have not found exactly about a betta fish like that but if you know of any that may have a feature like that or if it could be the product of a mutation I would like to know). His story, although I have not developed it so much, is that: as a result of a fight with another male, he lost the fight and, this one took away (what would be for the betta fish) his ventral fins. (Which, from what I have read, help them to stabilize, although of course it is not the only fin that has this function, however he does have certain problems in that aspect after the loss of these fins). Product of this trauma, (not only affect him physically but also emotionally) despite not wanting to accept it, is afraid to face another rival again. Most of the time he tries to avoid getting into trouble and carries one of his ventral fins to protect himself. He spent time learning to use his own fin as a spear and learning to have more confidence in himself, learned to lead with his internal monsters, not to be sad for what he "lacked" and eventually learned to manage its stability. For his future he would have to accept even more of himself, accept others and that would be another story (One that only time will tell if I will carry on with or not). In this world of the character, its dorsal fins have a large "spike" which serves to protect and use it as a weapon. These are strong and resistant enough. I was inspired by the betta fish to give it the appearance of well... fish, however as a creature I got inspired by the Adaro.
