I just realised that my subconscious apparently wants rocket-goldfish to look suspiciously like starfleet insignia (or offspring thereof). Link to google images as proof.
Now I think about it, constantly zooming in to work on something may be an indication that I should have made it larger in the first place - I'm still getting the hang of this art-on-computer business. But I did chop bits off! Here is the Daisy with all its extremities.
I think it's more that both rocket goldfish and the Starfleet insignia are meant to look aerodynamic, like they are zooming upward.
I like to make my images super-huge-- basically as big as my computer can handle without getting slow. You see, you can always make the brush size bigger and make the image smaller, but you can't make a small image large without it looking miserable. So, in this one instance, bigger is always better.
The Daisy fences?? And it has an Elizabethan collar! and one black glove, possibly symbolizing death.
Its mother was a starfleet rocket! Its father was Chuck Nero Norris the Third! Its five-year mission: to boldly vzoom where no goldfish-rocket hybrid has vzoomed before!
It had an Elizabethan collar, and then it decided that no, they were going to be petals. And that is how it became The Daisy.
Also possibly symbolising help, I have no idea how to draw hands. But we shall go with Death.

Your goldfish/rocket is lovely and I am thoroughly intrigued by your work in distress. I just wish it was bigger. Did you resize it to post?
I stole the colored icon with black spots and I'm thinking about stealing the Darth Tribble.
