My daughter bought me an airbrush for Father’s Day… so I thought I’d try it out on a big ol bluegill I got a few months back ( I posted on Tman). It’s not the best
But I don’t think it’s horrible like my previous attempts.

Better than me keep at it

You can save yourself a lot of aggravation and time by taking a few day course with real fish taxidermist. They;re out there if you look.

Post a pic of the bluegill when you caught it for comparison.

absolutely hideous. Have you thought of getting a job in which you actually have a career? You were asking for prayers not long ago due to physical ailments, yet, you continue to post quasi taxidermy pics, fishing pics and so forth. If you have some sort of disability it isnt evident based on your posts here. If you have filed for disability, just know, all of this is being collected to sideline your claim. perhaps going dormant for a while will help whatever you seek as an outcome.

before all of you jump on me, just know, I am not saying this to be a jerk, yet, in due time, this will haunt him for a long time.

I won’t criticize you or anyone else for where they work or what they try to accomplish in life

Looks Great !!

You Texas boys play so ruff…. meow…..

You’re getting there. A little to much green shading. Bluegills are cheap and easy practice .

I am limited as to what I can and cannot do,, some days are better than others.. perhaps you would like to see the pictures of my mri which shows my spinal cord being compressed….or how about I take a picture of the doctors report on the findings?Not all nuerosurgeons want to cut until they absolutely have to,,,cervical spinal fusion with lamenectomy isn’t a fix all. , maybe you should educate yourself on cervical stenosis…I have improved greatly from where I was November-December. Several months of physical therapy has helped me tremendously.I DO NOT intend to be on disability… and I hope to be back to work before too much longer . I am extremely insulted by your comment and insinuations… I have worked my entire life…HARD PHYSICAL LABOR!! I hung and finished drywall for 25years until my shoulder blew out… I had to go work at a Walmart because it was a little easier on me..it was a little demeaning,BUT I WAS WORKING!when the pain in my neck became worse.. I tried pushing through it,,, it was when my fingers became numb and I could barely lift my arms,I knew something was wrong. That’s when my doctor ordered the MRI s and made the diagnosis. Do you know how embarrassing it is to have to get help from your son in law to open up the radiator cap because you can’t??? Especially when you’re used to setting 220s by hand?This is the longest I’ve ever been off my feet… the depression I was going through last year because I couldn’t work about did me in… I came VERY VERY close to throwing in the towel. I thought my life as I knew it was over. I’m thankful that there were folks who helped me overcome my mental hurdles. It was the coaching that got me out of the house and I started feeling better about myself .I want to dig ginseng again, but there’s no way I’m gonna be able to walk very far,,yet,,, the tree with the all the oyster mushrooms was behind the local cemetery so it wasn’t very far to walk….i fish at the spillway where I don’t have very far to walk from my vehicle to where I can fish. I’m getting better from where I was last year,,I’m not gonna curl up and let my demons win , I give GOD credit.. i have the feeling back in my fingers and I can lift my arms again …I Am nowhere near 100 percent… but I’m getting stronger… I’m trying my best to keep my reply to you as civil as I can,, because I enjoy this forum and do not want to be booted permanently for the stronger language that I’m refraining from using. You sir, are exactly how I used to be,,, I lacked empathy,, “why can’t he work? He looks okay to me “ we don’t always know what someone else’s struggle is.since my injury/ medical issues began,,,, GOD showed me empathy,,, he put me into someone else’s shoes.

You sure don't know much about the sheepdog, do you?

x2

A little rough, use more KY next go round, it will be better.

Apparently not!! But kicking someone whilst they are trying to get back on their feet tells me plenty

Look, buddy. I wish you the best of luck, but don't paint no more gol-darn fish.

If it makes him happy I say go for it. I know it makes me smile. But I'm in a jovial mood today, even ur comment made me laugh.

He's not here to entertain you.

Someone needs to fill in while Savell sobers up

Wake him up.

Ok it’s ok but not good. My suggestion is stop OVER FLAREING . Gills fins mouth bluegill don’t swim around with mouth wide open. Also get you a color stencil kit for each species you are painting. It covers the fish except where it goes on the fish Green
Orange
Black
Brown ect After you get used to it you can stop using stencil
