This is a picture of the work completed last Sunday. The water being churned up around the koi is now completely shaded. At some point soon, Horizakura will need to begin outlining again since we are only a session or two away from finishing the black and gray shading in the previously outlined area. At the end of my last session he spent some type sketching out the outline for my right shoulder and arm, so I suppose that's where he will start next. I have another session scheduled next week so I should be posting new pictures in about a week and a half.

Here are the pics of last week's work. It's is not quite healed yet, but it's getting there. The background just above my knee is now completed, I anticipate the rest of my right leg will be completed during the next session. When we first started to connect the new background to the old, I was a little concerned as the new area was noticeably darker. Over the past month or so however the color has mellowed out and now it matches the back of my leg perfectly. I'm still wondering if this will be that case when we start connecting areas that are 3 or 4 years apart.
