Description b/c we totally know a sea of Koi is possible

I had this sketch on my computer since the beginning of this year, but recently redrew it and colored in less than two sittings. Yes.. apparently I was so into coloring that I didn't really take any breaks but to change songs on itunes and eat out.

No, this isn't Ariel, but if you want her to be, she can LOL idc.
Let me tell you that hair made me so frustrated.

Man I really love how her lips pop out of the picture like that! The colours, so good! Kind of want to draw a picture in this colour scheme now. Hopefully you don't mind eh hehehe. Oh and by the way your effort was not wasted on the hair, you nailed it in the end!

Interesting use of movement. I really like the flowiness of the hair and its similarity to the koi tails! I like the color combinations as well.

Koi are my favorite fish.
There shall be a sea of Koi in the future >D This is crazy good for coloring in just two sittings >.> But then again, I bet it was quite a few hours, wasn't it?
