Description Hi everyone! I am still alive, just really busy with my senior year of high school and now my freshman year at uni. Sorry

But anyways, ~lucas-irineu asked me to upload some more paintings, so here is one! This was from my AP Art concentration. I chose to concentrate on surrealism similar to Vladimir Kush's style - I guess I got a bit tired of painting landscapes after the first few months, haha.

But anyways, this is my Koi. He's in a well, and if you look closely at his scales, they are actually American currency. I don't know if that detail came through too well, though...

And then I decied to be punny with the name. Koi + coin = koin. lolol.

=====================

Hehe, puns. x3
I really like the coin idea and the roughness of the brick wall is fantastic! You did really well with creating the reflection of the sun with paint, too--it's so bright that it almost hurts my eyes to stare at.

Lol yeah :3
Thank you! The brick wall was easily my favorite part to paint, because I got to use tons of acrylic to make it really textured 8D lolol/fail

Awesome painting experiences XD I've only worked with acrylics on Breyer horses. It seems fun, though!

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. My apologies for being absent for so long...my first year of uni has been crazy! But I really miss it here and I'll be around much more often
