Commission. The fish are Sully on the right, a black and white marble HMPK and Valentine on the left, a red dragon and white marble HMPK. Under Sully is the Japanese kanji for Yuu which can mean any of the following; “tenderness, excel, surpass, actor, superiority, gentleness”. In this case, it’s superiority. Under Valentine is the kanji for Bi which means “Beauty, beautiful”. Together they are Yuubi, the word for “grace”.

I am extremely pleased with the way Sully came out. The scanner blinded out the subtle color shift to white that marked Valentine’s pectoral, so in the scan, it’s basically gone.
