Description

Work for the Chilean TCG "Mitos y Leyendas", based in the ancient legend of the koi fish.

"An ancient tale tells of a huge school of golden koi swimming upstream the Yellow River in China. Gaining strength by fighting against the current, the school glimmered as they swam together through the river. When they reached a waterfall at the end of the river, many of the koi turned back, letting the flow of the river carry them away.

The remaining koi refused to give up. Leaping from the depths of the river, they attempted to reach the top of the waterfall to no avail. Their efforts caught the attention of local demons, who mocked their efforts and heightened the waterfall out of malice. After a hundred years of jumping, one koi finally reached the top of the waterfall. The gods recognized the koi for its perseverance and determination and turned it into a golden dragon, the image of power and strength."

I hope you like it!

If only it were as easy as swimming up a waterfall to become a dragon

I'm still discovering what I like about Digital Art. It is not my medium, so I don't fully understand the complexity of it. I find that digital that fools me into thinking it's traditional falls into my favor. Such excellent results in color and texture, especially in this piece. I am gathering the tools to learn. Here's to a shaky start on new horizons. Cheers!
