Oh, Gods. That is amazingly cool. I've got a huge bone thing going, and I LOVE Koi. This is made of Wow and Win.

Thanks! I've been a fan of bone shapes and textures ever since I worked with them in college. Lots and lots of bone drawings - I ended with a deep appreciation for the beauty and complexity of the skeletal structure of just about everything. This project was *great* fun for that reason.

Kick ass! This is incredible! Are you going to color it, or leave it black and white? Either way, it rules. Nice work! :>

rachaelm5 In reply to SteelJaw [2008-08-24 03:45:17 +0000 UTC]

The original drawing will remain black and white. I'm matting and framing it for my sister and her husband that way. I plan to play with the image a bit in Photoshop, so I'll probably have Harmony of Bone and Water 2 assembled before too awfully long. And THAT one shall definitely be in color!

While I'm not planning to color the original drawing, I do want to play with it a bit in Photoshop. THAT version will definitely have a bit of color to it.

I like the way the stippling blends with the swirls.

That is awesome! The stippling really gives it a really nice texture. (I've done stippling, and it takes a looooooong time....)

Yeah, I had this particular texture in mind from the get-go. I knew it would take a long time to do, but the effect was so worth the effort!

Fire-Redhead [2008-08-18 17:17:28 +0000 UTC]

Gorgeous! The stippling really adds dimension to the vertebrae and the whole fish in general. Great work!
