Carp leaping over the Dragon's Gate in northwest China.  There is an old Chinese mythology that the carp who can leap over Dragon’s Gate will turn into a dragon (some say a carp that lives long enough will also turn into a dragon as well). It essentially represents courage, perseverance and accomplishment. Also, this mythology is probably the root of Magikarp only attack being splash (Magikarp Jump), but eventually evolving into the magnificent Gyrados (and why they’re my favourite Pokemons).

Oh look, stumbled upon the perfect gif:

The koi reaches the Dragon’s Gate on Yellow River. Strength. Perseverance. Overcoming adversity.

Dragon's Gate is just a block away, so after my pre-op appointment I walked around Chinatown.

Day 4: Favorite Continent/Country/Location?

“...father?”

From the intricate map designs and some promotional art, Valor, specifically the Dragon's Gate, feels very grand. With its emptiness adding to the eerie, yet ethereal atmosphere. It's an interesting contrast: the small, foggy wilderness surrounding the abandoned, monumental ruin of the Scouring. 

I’ve always wanted to draw the actual gate, which has a very complicated design and a weird color palette. 

So everyone’s favorite Ice Dragons were perfect to maintain the creepiness of the colors, plus lampshade one of the more tragic, and personal fave character backstories.
