This is honestly the most work I've put into a single art piece since high school. I don't even know how many hours of coloring this was - but it's finished! It's a Christmas gift for a friend, depicting the Chinese legend of the carp at the Dragon Gate trying to become dragons. Looks like that red, white, and black one is well on his way!

Pencil crayon and ink on drawing book paper.

Attention dragon lovers! this ones a killer!

The colors on the skin are really what drew me to this piece. The movement draws your ele in closer, and the details grab hold of the viewer's attention. There's really a lot going on!
