California Flyingfish Colored

This is the colored pic I did of the California Flyingfish for the Phylo Project. View Sketch: [link]

What Is the Phylo Project?

It’s a TCG like Pokémon but with real animals instead of monsters. The goal is to teach younger children about wildlife while still keeping it fun and entertaining.

The idea came from the research of conservationist Andrew Balmford who found children as young as 8 have a tremendous capacity for learning, being able to identify 80% of Pokémon but when asked about wildlife in their own back yards they could name less then 50%.

A group of scientists will weigh in on the content of the cards and educational properties. The cards are intended to be free for anyone to print off the web and use. They may be put into actual print at some point but this is uncertain.

How Do I join?

Check out the Phylo Project: [link] basically anyone can submit art in any style and submit any plant, animal, environment, or bacteria.
