Koi Fish Pond - 01

My original copy of this is a traditional picture done with ink and colored pencil. It was a Christmas gift for my aunt and uncle for 2008. I still have my basic sketch of it, so I decided to make a digital copy done in different colors. The traditional copy has more bright colors and was much easier to blend and shade the multicolored-ness. This is what my koi would look like if I had a pond... Because I like these colors on koi more than the oranges and yellows that others would prefer.

This copy has a water over-layer over the fish to make it look more... real-ish.
