I debated making my second fish the same type as the first, but I get bored easily and I didn't want to make another fish skull. Instead, I thought a cyclostome would be interesting. Cyclostome means "circular mouth", and they're a kind of primitive fish that have teeth but no jaw bones. The lamprey is a cyclostome, as is the hagfish.
What you're seeing there is the mouth of the second fish. I haven't yet shaped the head or any of the body. It's easier to get the mouth done before I start on the outside of the head because once it's tucked away inside the animal it becomes hard to reach. There isn't really much detail inside the mouth. It's a primitive sort of animal, so its anatomy really doesn't need to be too complex.
I quite like this last photo. For some reason my fingers are in focus but the mouth is slightly blurred, so it looks as if it was moving when I photographed it.

| The paintwork needs a lot of revision. The teeth need to be more yellowy and the flesh needs to be less yellowy. |

| Looking straight into the mouth. You can see I haven't put much detail inside it. |
