Description
After a hard day's work, Yoi goes home to tuck into a nice meal. With such an enormous basket of fish, there might be a ladyfriend or company coming over. Who knows, maybe Yoi is just ravenously hungry. Maintaining the gloss on his claws and sweeping wings must require extra nutrition.Note: The dragon-thing on the roof is supposed to be a little stone silouette of Yoi's noodly dragonform. The little lumps next to it are supposed to be animals. I got the idea from a custom for some places in China (eg. Forbidden City) to place them on the edges of a roof. Number and type of animals can denote the status of the building and its occupants, and some had superstitious purposes as well (eg. an animal to ward off the very wooden kitchens from being incinerated).
Kiriban for =Shinerai , thanks for answering all my pestering questions and even providing really sweet references! I've never used so much pink for a character and background before, and I had fun with it. I'm sorry about the character and anomatical issues too! D:

Haha, I wasn't much of a pink person either! At least, not for clothes and bedroom wallpaper. But on characters like Yoi.. It's perfect. xD

Hey, I'm glad you noticed the little corner guy! xD Mmm, glow in the dark clothes. Those clothing people need to make cloth that glows softly pink and gold like Yoi (none of that harsh neon yellow business, though harsh neon yellow does have its uses).
There is no talent, just a lot of time and dumb luck. Sorry there! >:

Whoa there is so much to look at, reminds me of one of those old paintings. Exceptional use of color and lighting. Looking at the fish, it feels like I could just grab one and put it in the skillet. The impressionism background with the detail, but still a sense of dreamy movement I love it.
Oh and Yoi is looking gorgeous too

Aw, thank you! I'm glad you like the background, I'm kind of concerned it doesn't quite go with a smooth-shaded character, but we'll see. xD
I live for the fish! And Yoi!
