Description One of the pieces of ink I completed while in Paris, rather cool dragon sleeve using some odd colours.

Looks effective in the end and flows well with the structure of the guys arm.

Total time 15 hours in total

Enjoy

if i ever get my dragon tattoo.. those are the colors, i love the combination of those three colors, except the blue and green would be a smigion brighter... most of my tattoos have the blue and green my koi twins are like that but with yin and yang effects and ...well soon i hope to have them finished but there will be purple in them as well

Sounds cool, you must have awesomely pale skin to use lots of Greens, blues and purple. normally i have to deal with people with largely tan skin so thats why i have to make those colours darker using yellows and reds around them. Its hard but yeah I personally prefur the LOOK AT ME bright colours, but you have to stick with whatever fits the victim/customer best.

suprisingly yes, although i do tan easily..[link]

thats my back, i use to love being tan but after i got my back peice i stopped stayin out so long, and only tan if i have to wear a dress..

blue and green are my fav colors thats why i base most of my own off of those two colors...

lol, but yea i love the colors not the dragon so much, not to offend your work its beautiful but not the kind dragon id want...im working with :ashigaru: on my right sleeve i know i want a dragon but im not sure how i want it to look, but i came across yours and the coloring is beautiful..

shame your down under

haha nice yeah i'm personally not to fond of that dragon either... its to fat for my liking, just thats what the guy wanted. so i had to go that direction. as far as i'm concerned its to much of an aggressive dragon and i don't like them that way. My two dragons are nice ones (sorry no pictures they arn't finished yet)

Haha yeah, but i'm not always here, i'm sometimes in New York, London and random spots in germany, depends on the time of year and what i feel like.

sweet.... i guess thats what it is, it seems to tightly bound... i like the passive dragons that still look like they can kick your ass.
will you be putting up pics of them when their done?

You should come to Philly (PA) lol i really love your art work... currently i do all my own artwork and just give my artist the line art and stuff, he just takes it right off the paper and onto my skin..only because i want one of a kind art work...

id like to see your dragons when their finished.. they sound cool

just-an-artist In reply to WarriorofWolvensoul [2008-02-13 00:56:25 +0000 UTC]

hehehe my dragons... when i finish them possibly post them up, sadly i only drew one and my friend drew the other. but don't worry these arn't no pussy foot dragons, they you kick your ass if they wanted too, just one is asleep while the other watchs over it... I decided to take the dragon idea to a different perspective, plus it ties in with the demon samurai i have on my lower back. All my tattoos work together i can just never find the time to finish them because they are mostly started with lots of different artists from all around the globe, so i have to get them done whenever i'm in the area. Well next time i come to america i have a fair few places to go now. so i might as well just add it to the list and organize Devmeets where ever i go. (I did this about 5 years ago and it was awesome) so i shall do it again.

thats a cool idea... i cannot wait to see.. demon samurai???? interesting.. yea ive decided to slow down and finish one project at a time..

thats pretty sweet... definatly a cool idea

just-an-artist In reply to WarriorofWolvensoul [2008-02-17 17:11:06 +0000 UTC]

yeah demonic samurai, always been something thats interested me. Its basically the samurai with they're masks on, representing a demon, i just took it to a different level. Slowing down is always a good idea, i just got alot of things started very quickly and then moved on without giving time to get the finished so i'm now playing catch-up, the only annoying thing is my artist who have started them are neatly spread around the world, but hey! at least it gives me chance to travel and reason too

just-an-artist In reply to WarriorofWolvensoul [2008-02-23 04:51:05 +0000 UTC]

Its the under colours/shadows, because i was using black for the scales i had to use a different colour.
