Koi Sketches

I've got some koi concepts for you today that I drew for a friend of mine going to AAU in San Fran. He's working on an animated short film that I get to do concept art for every so often.

I based some of the fishes on other creatures to give some variety to my concepts. One had the essence of a crocodile, one an eel, and one has a beta fish feel. I think using traits from completely different beings can give you something very interesting in the end.

These were sketched in Photoshop about a month ago.
