The Birth of a dragon. Its legend that the Koi fish will become a dragon, hence the dragon beneath water and Koi, shows the evolution, beginning and after, the destiny of the koi fish. this took about 10 hours in total, done in water paints on A3 size paper. Once again I couldnt decide what I prefered better, the colour version or the black and white so I posted both, what do you guys think is best?

I really like this colored one more.
The colors add some feeling to it, specially to the water and sea flowers. The whole concept and story is really great, there is not anything bad to say. I really love the white flowing lines and detailed dragon scales.
Just Amazing work!!

I love the hints of colour. Makes the koi pop just a little more than the band white version.

One last kiss
Lemme be the last set of lips that you taste
You know that you're diggin' on this rape
And all I want is to see, you beg n pleed on your knees
Such good times, passion crimes that make us laugh to see you die...
