This is a custom tattoo for a new client who badly needs a cover up on his arm.

Sorry the picture quality is crappy. I had this taped to my light box as I have to trace the whole thing three times. One for lines, one for shading, and the other for color.

I'm also reworking the scales. They won't be so sloppy in the final product. We were just working out how we wanted the scales. I think I also want to make the back fin a little bigger too.

But anyway, it fits in to the legend of koi swimming upstream, and if they survive past the golden dragon gates, they turn into a dragon. So, my client wanted something mid-transformation.

Annnddd.....now this little Peach must go to bed. My little sister's brain scan is tomorrow, and I have to be up at the crack ass of dawn. :3
