Hah, I was going to say this would be a fantastic design for a tattoo, but then I read the description...
Anyways, I really like how this is drawn - it's very orginial in a very beautiful way. I really love the dragon - it's beautiful, but not in a pretty way...can't really explain it well.
Amazing job.

Good composition, bit it could be more dynamic if the red patche was lower. It would make a diagonal that would give a lot more mouvement to the dragon. Also, I think it would need more depth. For this working the light would be a great idea : the nearest portion of the dragoon are lighter. It would make the image more easily readable.

Thanks, it's designed to be a 'Basic' tutorial for people to learn the basics of drawing tattoo style dragons(hence the youtube link). So thats why the red ball is where it is because if it was wrapped around an arm or leg it would be at a key point one side of the arm while the face would be the other. For this particular style and technique level its about teaching pattern and solid color placement not depth, its to be in simialr style of tattooists like horiyoshi III or Jess Yen Rather then going for a realistic oriental interpretation like say Shige Would.

If it's for a tattoo, I think it would look great in someone with light skin so that the dragon's dark colors stand out more.

While the koi carp would be more suited for someone with darker skin, though in the end that would depend on the customer's tastes...

Cirprius [2013-03-09 18:29:54 +0000 UTC]

This is a really neat design. I love how the black scales still show up, that is personally something I struggle with, because it's not an easy thing to do. You do really good with the coiling as well!
