I'm guessing worse case scenario, I may learn something from this user added image

I'm going to have a go at making a Brown Trout . . I'm a fly fisher so when it comes to underwater creatures, my interest is limited to trout.

This will be my reference Pic

I'm going through some of my trout photos at the moment, this would be typical of a river trout as far as colors (colours) go:

have you found out about the gills yet? besides those the trout looks very nice! I have not really come to the gills myself, but if I find a handy way I let you know. when the fish is textured it sure looks awsome man!

I might just cut away the smaller faces and then extrude them so they overlap. I think it will work out . . . . well I hope so user added image

BTW: Love the way your model is coming along, should look awesome when complete.

Did a little more today, but this will have to do until the weekend.

Wow, I like that. Can you post a close up? I'd like to check out the skin texture. I can see a hint of scale, wondering how detailed it is up close. You still have a few weeks... plenty of time. Keep going...

Thanks Michael,

Below is the close up. I started using Photoshop a couple of months ago so I'm not very good at it. I've scrapped 3 textures so far. If you had seen the first one I think I would have had you on the floor in laughter . . . seriously :headbang:
