Artist's Comments

I have a slight obsession with koi XD The title is indeed the name of the colouring (sortof, this is exactly the Hi Ogon colour, but its very, very close)

I love love love koi, and all their colourings. My favourite are Shiro Utsuri and doitsu Kumonryu (the latter of which I'm going to make a painting of soon).

This is done on and 8 by 10 inch (i think...i don't remember the exact size off hand) canvas, covered in gesso, and painted with acrylics. I used a pallate knife to raise the waves and texture to the koi itself, with the body smoothed and fins given ribs and whatnot. The koi is obviously not in realism, but rather, it's style after stylized tattoos.

Some portions of the body and head have gold paint dry brushed onto it to give accent

Like it! I really like the textured pieces you have done. I'd like to see you try something steampunkish with some of the clock parts and other stuff I gave you. How about something earthy and dark like an underground doomsday machine in a deep cavern? If you are interested and need more parts, I am sure I could help. Kutgw.... see if you can figure that one out!

and when I'm done feeling it for the moment I won't feel wrong for feeling it,but right now I feel it and it feels wrong.*~¥ - (E.Soileau)
