  • A watercolor painting of a louvar fish by LivInSeas. The louvar has a torpedo shape with a beluga-like rounded head. There's a shaded crease where this rounded head meets the face. The louvar is orange-silver, with the orange color reflecting more from the top of the fish, and the grey-silver color across the midbody/bottom of the fish. The pectoral and caudal (tail) fins are bright blood-orange/red. The dorsal and anal fins stretch from almost the tail of the fish to about 1/3 uup the body, and are much lighter in color, with only faint red fin rays and grey in between each ray. The pelvic fin is very small, and a similar faint reddish-grey to the dorsal and anal fins. The lips of the fish are reddish, and look a bit parrot-like. The eye is smaller, and surrounded by reddish coloration.

  • This image is of a watercolor painting of a squid, created by LivInSeas! The squid has a slender body, and its arms and tentacles are splayed out and curled slightly. The squid is reddish. The base of its body is painted with a soft pink/grey color, with some darker red and gold highlights. The body is covered in a large amount of little, red spots, which give it a more reddish appearance and look almost freckle-like. Dotted across the entire body are larger spots that have a similar appearance to seeds on a strawberry. These spots appear to be shiny and silvery, with little blue dots/shading at the top and a pinkish hue in the middle. The squid has one deep, blue eye visible, which appears to look at the camera. At the top of the squid, two small, grey fins attach to the very top, which appear to be folded slightly. The grey fins have small dots of red in the middle close to the body.

It has a gold-brown line (lateral line) running down the side of its body, and several lines crisscrossing the face. The nose is sloped, almost like a ski jump shape. Its fins are a blueish grey in color, the pectoral (where an arm would be) fin noticeably large, with little gold reflective lines running down the fin. The fish's eye is brown, with orange and blue.
