The koi was surprisingly fun to do. I had to look at quite a few pictures to find out the fin shape and stuff about Koi, I didn't find too many since a lot of the pictures were only looking above at the back of the fish. Credit for the design goes to the wikipedia article about koi, he's a Showa koi. I didn't copy the design, but if I hadn't read that article, I never would have known there were colors like that. He's got a little diamond mark on his forehead x3 Kanya won first place in my contest I held, and the first prize request was for Fallow (my wolf), Kanya (RedWolfKanya), Tsumeato ((c) rabid_child), and Hitonomi (rabid_child) to be riding on koi in a pond with Sakura in the BG. Sketched, then inked and colored via theGimp. Art(c) me. Character (c) RedWolfKanya). Copy any aspect of this image (character, image, tracing, pose, etc) and I skewer your through a very tall metal pole during a thunder storm and see how long til it takes til I get a nice, roasty-toasty art-stealer kabob.
