Hey there! I love this design of the skull with the long tentacles that look like an octopus and dripping stuff. I made a design similar but I had trouble scanning "my" image and love yours! Are you willing to allow us to use your image for T-shirts for our band? Our garage band and I are all 14 years of age and our band is named Radio Kashmir. I am the drummer. We play Classic Punk, Ska and occasionally Nu Metal. We need your written o.k. to use the image on the T-shirt.
Thank you,
J. Angus Little
My email is radiokashmir@hotmail.com (to send permission if possible.) Awesome drawing. Thanks again!

I feel like I've seen this somewhere before. I immediately think of the temp tattoos you get out of quarter machines. Still an awesome piece though.

thanks! ya I didn't put a huge amount of thought into the concept.

I really enjoy this piece, it's got a lot of lovely flow and motion in the tentacles, and your choice to give the skull inhuman teeth really adds a sense of otherworldly eeriness.

wow thankyou! Much appreciated!

sweet... The bit under the eye sockets looks to be in a different style than the rest of the piece, though I think it draws attention to that area. Overall great work.
-I think the shading on the right tentacle(middle) could be darker on that inner curl.

So I guess I should let you know. I liked the drawing so much I did tattoo it on my left shoulder. I changed it a bit mostly to fit the navy's regulations on tattoos. Hope you guys like it.

Hey, thanks for letting me know! Looks good! and you're not the first one that I know of either - I had a scuba guy show me a facebook photo a few months ago. Really warms the heart knowing so many people like this picture that much.

I'm trying to figure out things to put underneath it to make it into a half sleeve. If you have any idea's I would like your input. I would even enjoy it if you would draw some things out.

Well - seeing what you've chosen to do with it - might I suggest the 'tears' flowing either into a river, or some crashing waves containing some imagery of shipwrecks.
I could draw out a black and white for $15 if you like?

that would be awesome!! and by all means be as creative with it as you like. Sorry it took a while to reply back.

no prob. Got a couple of other projects going, but expect a message in the next week or so.
π: 0 β©: 1
so what other things would you have in mind for this drawing other than a river or an ocean.
π: 0 β©: 1
mainly shipwreck type imagery; I keep thinking that there has to be some kind of nautical mess - I'm open to any ideas that you might have. I apologize for taking soooo long to get back to you! I've been doing some major remodeling and haven't been able to get back to my desk in days. Hopefully things have settled now!

It's alright, take your time.
So far I like the idea of a shipwreck, I am a patient person, they taught us patience in boot camp trust me. as far as any ideas I would like a quote to be added in somewhere it is:
That is not dead which can eternal lie. And with strange aeons even death may die.
I don't have any idea about any filler to connect the two drawings of yours, I'll leave that in your hands, nautical is good, If it is going to be on a shore with waves crashing into it maybe a lighthouse in the background. And some rocks with waves splashing against them and the ship.
Hope those give you some good ideas to work with, can't wait to see what it is going to look like.
Hope to hear from you soon, hope the spring cleaning goes well.

I wanna get this tattooed on my shoulder. The detail would take forever, but it would be worth it.

I want to tattoo this on myself. Can that happen?
