I mean boy, my sweet boy(friend). LOL. I had such great fun with this one--Lindy's Magicals worked so well for the random koi colors and Brushos for the water. I was trying to make it look like the koi had just splashed down. Do they do that? To be honest, the big ones freak me out with their giant mouths and how you can see all the way inside. Shiver.
I took another shot to try to capture the iridescence of the Magicals. You'll need to squint and pretend--just couldn't! I do love the texture of the Hero Arts Koi die, don't you? Really makes it seem lifelike--shiver.
Now off to package this up. His birthday is today!

Haha - you are freaked out by the sweetest, most docile fish around. I'm sure your koifriend will love it! That background is all sorts of splashy fantasticness!
ReplyDeleteI like the fish on your card, and I like koi to a degree. But yeah...I wouldn't want to look down into them. For me, it's chickens. Hate 'em. Unless they're in the oven, lol! Seriously though, this is gorgeously done. The fish looks like he's reflecting the colors of the sun, and the water is fabulous. I'll bet your bf will love it. Bev
