Re: design work request

Thats a wicked cool picture!

 

Re: design work request

I'll do up some actual drawings if you want Ray. I have done the preliminary scetches for most of my friend's tattoos and have a pretty good idea what you are looking for.

 

Re: design work request

That'd be great man. I went to the tattoo place last weekend to discuss the ideas with the artist (who is really really good some of his work looked REAL) and he was excited about this idea. He liked the detail he could put into the scales, the color variation (gonna be a grayscale design, btw) and all that.

 

Re: design work request

Why not just have the tattoo artist draw it up himself? People on other boards I frequent often come asking for help, wanting someone to draw up a complicated tattoo...and I just dont get it.

I say leave it up to the guy who'll actually be putting it on your body. If he's really a talented artist he should be better equipped to design it to fit your body and give it the detail it deserves.

 

Re: design work request

While a few tatoo artists (actually very few) can come up with really good designs on the spot, there is nothing wrong with someone spending sometime getting to know a design and contemplating whether they want to live with it or not. Once demon has his design worked out, he can hang it on his mirror and look at it every morning. he might be inspired to tweak it after studying it for a few days.

many tattoo artists love nothing more than to just be able to trace and color.

 

Re: design work request

Ray, where are you getting the work done? My artist might LOVE this kind of project.

 

Re: design work request

holy crap Majikal how old is that sig :lol:

hardly see you on the parts of fj that I visit anymore.

 

Re: design work request

FiveDoor - i am fully capable of designing this myself but i want to get as many ideas from all spheres of design.

Evan - The artist i picked i think i'm going to stick with. He's VERY skilled with detail and realism (some of his work wowed me. yes, me.) and not to mention he's excited about this as he's wanted to put the detail into the scales of a reptile for a long time. the variations in shading, etc etc.

sicko - that's the idea. it's gonna get placed next to my monitor at home and work for a few weeks.

 

Re: design work request

anyone have any other good pics? we're going to do the design on the fly but need good reference pictures.

the shape and style of the tattoo concept have not changed, i'm still in favor of everything we laid out but since it's going to be drawn on the skin on the fly and detailed in (the guy is REALLY good) i want as many good photos as possible.

 

Re: design work request

Re: design work request

demon: your last pic in the first post isn't showing up.

I was playing around with an idea (way over the top) but wanted to refresh my mind on what your original plan was.

btw, some gorgeous snakes here:

Re: design work request

OK, I changed just about everything you said. Are you ready to "go big or go home"? :lol:


egg(s) would be on the left side of your chest, over your heart, the snake would be wrapped around those as well as your arm for support and strength, then would have its head watching your back.

 

Re: design work request

Plan B - i'm going with a natural (no morph) burmese design

Sicko - that is sick. truly, but i think might be a bit "much". i'll print that out and show it to phil later this week (phil is the guy doing the work)

and i'm not that muscular.

 

Re: design work request

that super phantom morph is ****in awesome looking...

and sicko, that deisng is amazing, if I were into snakes like that, Id rock it for sure! It flows so well!

 

thanks for the compliments.

Since you are going to be showing someone, I took it a little further:

I know it is way more than you were planning but its just what came to mind.

I'm not too sure about the tail wrapping the clav. the other option would be to have it curl on top of the shoulder.

 

On a side note, don't know if you mentioned it, maybe leave space for 2 or more eggs in case you have more kids?

 

actually that's already been discussed! i'm going to tint her egg lavender, and maybe put MLC in small letters on it.

Sicko - you crazy bastard that looks amazing. (this will be left shoulder however) and you even made the head cover up a small dragon that i'm going to be covering up anyway!

i will print those out and show phil.

 

Ray I really like Sicko's idea, and I think it would fit u very well... Just my .02

 

Well sicko's idea is VERY close to what we had planned but obviously more ink covering more of my body. My concern is that i do have hair on my chest and i dont want to shave my chest, so it might look a little odd with that. plus in many years (i hope), my boobs will probably sag with age. i cant always be as lean as i am now, although that is probably a good chance that i will. then again, by then i wont give two ****s anyway...

 

Sicko that is just sick! Awesome work.

Man I wished I didnt scroll down and looked at the second pic. I about fell out of my chair. (Absolutely horrified of snakes)

That is gonna be one awesome tat.

I have hair on my arms, I was concerned about my forearm tat too... It doesnt obstruct it too much at all... Besides, ur not hairy like a beast or anything. WEAR DEODORANT *****!

 

Might be cool to use the green tree python pose too
