*Sakura Koi* for Beatsme Oriental Swap

[ViciousJupiter]

I had so much fun making her. Beastme said she loved Cherry Blossoms and Koi fish. I decided I wanted to use both. One side has a sakura tree growing up and over the back, the other has a pond with a Koi fish swimming under the hanging branches. I'm so glad Beatsme liked it. I was really nervous this being my first swap and I'm still a bit of a beginner.

She was painted with acrylics and rehaired in Dollyhair's Black Magick and Heartthrob on one side and Black Magick, Sunset, and Mermaid on the other. She is displayable on either side. Hope you all like her too.

I am so loving the koi! I love the water effect around the koi too--very subtle.

I love how you matched the hair colors with the different mark on either side... really neat idea!
