Beautiful details! Does it have a symbolic meaning in the tattoo world?

This would be really a cool tatto! Really cool, the lines are really pretty and well done, while the colors fits it a lot!

what a wonderful design, love the colors!
if I had it done as a tattoo I'd probably go for a slightly thinner outline though

Such lovely details, and wonderful golden colors. I love the illusion of movement you've created here as well. Nice work!

Awesome design, the Koi's movement is very fluid and believable
I'm really jealous of your crisp lines as well @_@

Great work! I would suggest a little bit more reflectivity on the scail but it is just a personnal preference. I know it will sound weird, but it looks famillar to me... Is it possible that I saw a similar image somewhere?

Its an original design, theres a youtube tutorial I created for how to draw it maybe you saw it there. If Not probably because Its a basic Koi In a traditonal pose so they do tend to look alike

Very pretty yellow color! I wonder if it would look as good on a skin background, though...

A koi fish, & its yellow?! Wow, never thought I'd see that wonderful combination. I also love the clean lines as well as the design itself. Looks like something I'd definitely want to tattoo on myself haha.

Koi Carp is a simple design but the lines are just so effective. The colours used are really nice and vibrant - nice

Very nice design, I'm sure anyone who loves these stuff would want to have it tattooed or at least on a T-shirt

Yeah, I don't have or want tattoos, but I'd definitely consider buying this as a T-shirt!

thanks, I usually go for much darker style or more red but I think the orange, yellow and brown combo worked pretty well
