Brass name plate mockups of some of the fish I plan on sculpting. The name plates ahve the fishes name, max or minimum length in game, and where they are found in game. (Still awaiting final plates from the engraver)

A project that was inspried by the game DREDGE by Black Salt Games. I took art from in the game and made it as if you plucked it off the deck of the fishermans boat, and right onto your wall!
The oarfish was sculpted using polymer clay, painted with soft body liquitex acrylics, sealed and mounted to a wooden plaque, and finished with a brass nameplate.
