Metal Fish Sculpture

I have a friend who likes to fish and wanted something to decorate his fishing pole holder. He asked me to make him a fish out of metal to go on it. Here is what I came up with. I don't have the proper tools to sculpt in the metal, just used some punches I had. I may have to make punches which can draw the lines better for a more finished look.

I applied some red and then black metal stain. this is different then paint. The chemicals interact with the metal to create the color. Then a clear coat was applied.
