Dennis Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I'm looking for photos of Koi backpieces with a specific perspective on the Koi, illustrated in the Roper and Horimatsu pieces below. I haven't seen many done from this perspective but I think it looks great! I've seen a Rubendall piece like this at one point but am unable to locate it. Any pictures or links would be appreciated! Thanks! ironchef and tatB 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/5747-perspective-on-koi/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironchef Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 @Dennis If you get color, try to insist on alternating shades in the scales. Personally I LOVE that look.

Dennis Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 @ironchef I think I would only do colour if I had one cohesive full suit of waves and rocks with a massive Koi on my back, except the colour would be done like the Horimatsu piece, just a hint of yellow in the fins! ironchef 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/5747-perspective-on-koi/#findComment-105357 Share on other sites More sharing options...
