Have a mantle to carve a underwater scene on and I am looking
for some reference for some ideas.

Anyone know where I can find a picture of a Bass plowing into some herring, etc. ?

thanks

Try doing a google image search for stiper, striped bass, etc... You may be suprised with what you find....

I did and can't seem to come up with shiite.

thanks though

Jeeze, do I have to do everything :D

Tons of art of fish crashing into bait (http://www.snowgoosegallery.com/wwartis/susmar.htm)

Ok, maybe not tons, but there is some good reference art there...

Trysearching on "striped bass art"

Good luck...

"Striped" Bass :)

I got that :smash:

If it's reference art I would assume you are looking for ideas, motion, composition etc... I'd find some art of any old baitfish and cut and paste an image of a striper over whatever is in the original.

What indicates that it's a striper or herring is in the details anyway.

At least that's how I would do it. Sounds like an interesting project. Good luck!
