This was/is originally a present for a friend of mine, but I don't believe they'll be getting it now. :sigh: Makes me rather sad, I really enjoyed working on it.
My friend had wanted me to do a tattoo design back at the end of summer of a koi fish. Once school came around in September though, I put it off. So after finding it again and having a small burst of inspiration I finished it. After the fact though in my research I found it it should be facing upstream, but it was a little too late
Prisma colored pencils were used to color it, on a 11x14 peice of bristol. I used French grays to color it (I like black and white tattoos) and there are flecks of Indigo blue in it for accent (but you can barely see them)
Nice work on this Koi, I am working on an image right now in where in there will be a Koi coming through a womans hire hair. This is the kind of Koi I had in my mind for what I am working on so I love this.
Hey, I've been looking at lots of koi pictures cause I'm designing my own koi tattoo. I love what you've done with the fins - very different from most of the pictures I've seen. I hope you don't mind if I incorporate those into my own design...?
