Hi...

I'm a Flash designer who's currently tinkering around on a small game.  Now hold your horses; this isn't one of those "lol make me RPG spritez NOW" sort of posts; the coding is well underway, but I just can't draw very well in Flash, and my sprites look stupid.

What I need is some sprites for some top-down swimming animations for a few fish.  I figured it would be boring to have normal fish, so you can be creative and make weird alien/fantasy creatures or whatever...just nothing cartoony.  I honestly am not even really biased about what they are; I just want something to paste in, so the graphics don't look like they were drawn by a 7-year-old.

The pay would be a credit only, but then again, this is very little work, with very few constraints.  Just 5-10 little animated gifs would be plenty.

Please let me know!

Oh sorry...they're fairly small, around 80x80 to 140x140, but I've got room for change in there.

Fish - boring, but some taste quite good. I made one, you may use if you want.

Hey d-p, that fish looks great (and is really cute), but in my original post I said that my sprites neeted to be top-down.  I know that's a little hard for thin fishies like that one, but something like a shark, or a fatter fish would still work.

But I still do really like that fishy.

Shark-

That thing looks great.  Make it a little meaner-looking (without being too over-the-top), and maybe try to get more of a wriggle instead of just switching from side to side (to make it smoother).  Other than that, once it's shaded, I think it'll be perfect for my first predator.  Thanks!

d-p-

I'd love any kind of smaller prey fish you could do, like a seabass or grouper or something.  I'd nreally appreciate it.

And if anyone gets even more creative, it would be great to have some sort of weird squid, and a few other odd-looking fish, to spice up the game a bit.
