Description
Thanks CrochetQueen for suggesting my Magikarp for a Daily Deviation, and thanks Brookette for giving it to me. ;w; You guys are awesome~And thanks everyone for the faves and the comments.
++++++++++++++++++
This guy is the third prize of the contest I hosted (for future deviants, the contest ended last week).
Oh my gosh was this guy a challenge to make. It was fun, but dang was he a challenge. He can't stand up on his own, so I had to use a ring and a que sera sera sphere to prop him up. XD Otherwise, he is meant to lie on his side, ready to use Splash attack.
Anyway, my reason as to why this dude was the third prize instead of a Master Ball as I planned originally was because of his big surprise when he evolved back when Gen 1 first came out. Personally I never expected a carp to turn into a dragon. XD My little 10 year old mind exploded when it evolved (I was able to play the game a year after it came out 'cause I didn't have a gameboy. ;w; ). That guy was nostalgic enough to become the third place prize. XD
Well, Magikarp, if you hate it or love it, was a fun pokemon back in the day and still is special. XD Even if he reeeeeally sucked in battle and was so frustrating to try and get to evolve.
Enjoy guys~ I'll be working on the announcement of the winners in a bit.

ALSO, NO, I CANNOT GIVE YOU THE PATTERN.
My pattern consists of this: winging it, winging it, and winging it. And most times I don't remember exactly how I made something.

I think the reason they made Magikarp, a carp, or koi, turn into Gyarados, a dragon, was because of the Dragon Gate. You know, the Chinese legend, that at the end of the world or something along those lines, there's an endless waterfall reaching up into the sky. At the top is an ancient gate, decorated with 999 intracetely carved dragons. If a fish successfully swims up the waterfall and through the gate, the fish's soul/spirit detatches from the fish's body and enters one of teh dragons, hence, the fish becomes a dragon. Fun Fact of the Day!
Congratulations on the DD! (And successfully making the fishy.)

So cute. <3 Magikarp is one of Pokemon's butt of every joke, but of course we still love it.
Is it standing up on the penny or just lying down for size comparison?

That moment when you finally evolve a Magikarp into a Gyarados but then you realize the only move it knows is Splash.
