Description
This is a gift for teh awsumOh! and I guess the spiritual meaning I put behind this was for you, Ms. Nekochan. That is, I know you've been through a heck of a lot (the mountains) but hey hey... something new is beginning. I think God wants you to know that you're always on His heart.
Also, I wish you could have seen the original linework. When you said 'butterfly koi'... I thought that was some sort of made up chimera. So these guys were actually perched on the flowers instead... When you said "here's some butterfly koi I did" and I looked, I did a "O SHI!" And erased it without thinking.

And, :iconneonekochan:... note me with your address if you want me to send the watercolor to you. I'll pay for postage. Not a big deal.

The concept here is at least as much fun as the art. Koi hatching from blooming chrysanthemums that apparently sprout from the (water-lily-studded) bubbles off a mountain lake...? Lovely.

Man, did I love doing this one. I'm just so giddy to know other people like looking at it.
I appreciate the comments so much!

hahahaha... I have a pile. But I'm seriously forcing myself to submit things.
uh. Got a request? I do have an easier time doing traditional stuff if I know that someone really wants something.

Hmmm, a request. Well, if you're offering I wouldn't mind a shot. Thanks.
Know what you mean about forcing yourself. Though I find that often with drawing my work as opposed to submitting it. I need a kick up the backside sometimes.

err... you never really gave me what you're request was. I got a little slot in my calendar for something traditional. Feel free to request, dude.

Lol crap, I totally forgot mate.
Well, as long as you're up for it. You could pick a small plethora of my characters like, R'idley, my khajiit from Oblivion or my Jessica from Fallout 3 (although I may need to throw more references your way in terms of describing them.)
Then theres me originals, like Darcy, Tyler, Jethro, Pan, (all anthros btw) hmm. I can't seem to think who you'd have more fun drawing.

Oh yeah. I got a canson watercolor block with their names on it already. You got twitter? If so, I'll put updates on there, perhaps.

Okayz... nearly dun. Just gotta get some washes on it, and then some other silliness. Thought I'd give you a high sign that proves I'm committed. If you want, I'll try to toss up a WIP of the washes laterz

I'll note you my addy in a few minutes. Thanks again, it really does mean a lot to me, and the building is fine CX

Okie dokes! I'll deepen those shades. I'll also correct a few flaws I noticed while studying the scan. *shrug* I might even have time to throw some fan-doodles of your chara/furson in there. *crinkly grin* I looove doing art in that lab.

OOH! I just remembered my index card watercolor block is clean again. :] maybe I could put something on there.

*sigh* didn't have time. But I did do your chara on some notebook paper... I took some watercolor crayons and a waterpen and spread a smidge of pigment on it. I hope it doesn't suck too much D:

I do miss the look of the snow. I used to bundle myself into a little bristly pod of layers when I was a youngin, and then I'd sorta waddle out, fall in the snow, and just stare up through the ice glazed branches into the flakes coming down and swirling around... and I'd dream about how the crystals form, and how I wish my thoughts could the same thing. *sleepy face* egads... just the thought of it brings me back to a crater of solace. I miss those days.
But then again, when I left... I told everyone I was through with the "canadian dandruff"... which didn't go over well with the canadians in my classes.

It's called growing up and moving on. One day you might get the "bug" and go back home... i.e. move there. With older age you'll find that you wish you could go back to childhood and back to the ground where you grew up... I know I do. It's a normal feeling. 👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's good to not be alone... now ain't it?

MAN, I hate those wonky lines... especially on the architecture. If I had put more buildings in this, I'm pretty sure Japan would declare war on Florida and my PS3 would get taken away (NOOOOOO! MGS4 IS FUUUUN!!!)
