@tromboneguy360 I’ve played with the idea of owning a Shining Magikarp but never pulled the trigger - I’m definitely going to grab the Japanese version though. It’ll likely be my only purchase from Celebrations that stands outside the English/Japanese Dark Gyarados reprint.
Thank you! I edited it to include the Snap Gyarados but the main art was done as a commission ages ago by Monarobot. She was incredibly patient with me and did an incredible rendition. This was the original version before she accepted my feedback and made tweaks:
Afterwards she came up with the full and final version:
She’s also done a few different iterations of Gyarados since then for other commission requests:
I can be very particular about commission stuff but I’m hoping that one day Dalton Doodles opens up commissions as they’re my current favorite. Perhaps I’ll do a new avatar then. We’ll have to see.
