These shots show different angles and orientations of my latest sessions with Horimitsu. The Koi shading and some additional linework and background shading closing out the forearm and moving up the arm have been completed since my last post. Currently we are around 20 hours into this project. I will showcase more pictures at the end of next week where my first trip to Japan will be over and there will be roughly 30 hours worth of chair time completed. I will try to wait until everything has healed!

Since my initial post on this sleeve I have had a further 3 shading sessions with Horimitsu. Much of the forearm background has been completed barring some wind bars that are yet to be lined in. We have now moved onto the peony leaves and flowers themselves, going with some non-traditional colours here of light blue and purple. The koi fish will be finished in blood orange for a nice cool/warm colour balance.

Some initial linework and shading by the genius that is Horimitsu. More updates to follow.
