The most initial idea came from my love toward the super cute rainbow-goldfish: Kaokageuo. Since my previous drawing, I've been thinking for getting it real--I mean I saw a photo about the fish in store--why not making myself a real one as well?
It was a strong impulse, so I spent 40 minutes in dollar store in Friday afternoon, searching for useful stuff--even without knowing how it might be looking like.

While looking for proper materials, the basic looking was forming in my mind. The basic model, the body, I would prefer a foam ball shaped in oval, but I didn't see any there. A perfect ball might work as well, since I'm not chasing for perfect. Then, small beads would be for the decoration, and colored confetti would be scales. For tail and wings, the white ribbons would be the best choice. However, I still didn't know how to arrange every piece, especially the tail.
From 2D to 3D, it's such a big difference! In real world the materials are limited by the shape, color, etc., especially when the materials were all from a local dollar store. :P Yet the result wasn't bad, huh? It would be much better if the body is oval-shaped. xD
The actual wings/tail are much simpler than what I imagined though.
Looking from another aspect, which is more fantastic.
Anyway, I'm generally satisfied; the only regret might be I didn't get chance to use the star-shaped transparent colorful confetti! I'll find chance to use them in future, probably:3
