“Fangs of Love: Rocky, My Dog, and the Price of Loyalty”

“Every fighter needs something to fight for. For me, it was love, loyalty… and my dog.”

This ferocious artwork by Takuma Tanaka channels the raw energy of Rocky, reimagined not as a boxer in a ring, but as a beast surrounded by ghosts, scars, and devotion.

Painted in blazing strokes of orange and pink, the piece evokes a primal arena—where survival, love, and the shadow of money all collide.

The central figure—half animal, half human—carries the weight of battles past and the love of a companion ever faithful.

In this kingdom, fists don’t win—hearts do.

Only one original. For those who know what it means to fight with love, not just for it.
