Koi Dragon

Whoo boy, this one's taken me a while...about 1 1/2, 2 years to be exact, but finally it's done! Well worth it though! I'm extremely proud of how it turned out, and despite the length of time it's taken I would definitely do it all again, because it was so satisfying to see all the scales slowly building up into a 3D picture, and to know that the time I spent painting each individual scale, blending all the colours with the tiniest brush possible, and just generally slaving away over it has produced what I can happily say is one of my best pieces of work to date, even though I've never done an underwater scene before ^^
Done using acrylics that haven't been watered down, in about 4-5 hour slots over 1 1/2 or 2 years whenever I had time.
