Character design contest entry: Koi Key

Mah baby got an honorable mention/runner up 3 journals worth entries guys! 3 journals!!! And among those I actually got a mention! Honestly I'm ok with not winning. Can't say I wouldn't have wanted to win at all, but I really entered the contest just for this amazing idea to turn keys into characters! So all works for me!

An entry for this contest: fav.me/d7bv2o9  I couldn't resist The idea of the contest is so much fun! Basically the character must look like a personification of a necklace of your choosing. I chose those keys because even tho the maker said in the description that they were nothing overly amazing, I absolutely fell in love with them and immediately had an idea for a character ^^

I would have made two since there's a yin yang there, but last time I assumed something of a contest my entry was denied so I just made one character. Even so, I didn't want to stick to the theme that badly.

I can't tell you guys how much fun it was to make her! I just kept on getting ideas and I was looking at pictures of Koi fishes so I would get ideas for her anatomy. Then I kept on getting more and more ideas. For example originally she had no back hair floating there. I was going to be an idiot who left that out D: Also in the middle of making the back fin I saw that Koi's fin goes mid back, so I couldn't make her all the way up to her head so I kept on deleting it more and more XD And the helmet! My god the helmet XD So awesome! She looks like a Valkyrie siren or something. Finally while coloring I just went nuts trying new stuff here and there.

I hope you like it!
