This garibaldi is one of the animals that will be featured on the kelp forest side of the van. It was first penciled, then inked with a brush, scanned into photoshop, imported into illustrator to be vectorized, placed back in photoshop and colored using 3 layers, designated: line, color and scales.
Garibaldi are perhaps the most obvious inhabitants of the kelp forest. During my first (terrifying) attempt to snorkel in San Diego waters, I don't recall seeing much but I did see flashes of bright orange against the greyish-greenish-blue.

Why was your experience terrifying? I'm a fish-phobe considering snorkeling and curious to hear others stories...
