Riusuke Fukahori creates his artwork by painting cross sections of fish in acrylic, building the image up in layers between resin. This gives the pieces a three dimensional effect.
You can see a video of his process here.

It’s hard to comprehend how he goes about this until you watch the video. He reminds me vaguely of Korzer-Robinson, being they both have an interesting if lengthy method to their work. However, Fukahori’s art is more realistic than magical, which, after seeing the process, ironically grants it a magical quality. From the video description:
When struggling with artistic vision, Fukahori’s pet goldfish became his inspiration and ever since his passion and lifelong theme. His unique style of painting uses acrylic on clear resin which is poured into containers, resulting in a three-dimensional appearance and lifelike vitality.
Cheers to you Fukahori! Keep doing something probably no one else ever has done or ever will do.
That’s amazing.
