I love the shading, the carp looks like he's gonna jump off your arm :)

Thanks!! Man! Thats exactly what i wanted! I wanted to bring out the movement of the carp jumping out of the water....Thats actualy the story behind the koi carp mythology...The japanese believe that when a koi carp jumps to the Yellow River, he becomes a dragon....Like a sign that you got over something bad and you move on to the next level...And in my case it was my dads death which was 7 years ago last Friday....

I envy you so much for being able to get work done so far down your arm. I want to do that too but this whole being a teacher business is stopping me right now (but just for now :) I'm getting a piece done on my upper left arm in June. One step at a time :)

This piece is beautiful. Good for you finding a great artist!!
