Description This piece is a bit crazier than anything I`ve done before on Pastels...This started as a Tattoo request from a friend here in DA, but as everything w/ me, it went off on a tangent!

Here I wanted to do something really dream-like and fantastic, but sticking to the Tattoo requirements of having a Scorpion and a scarf...I guess this is my Dali-meets-Leiji Matsumoto! As girly and pink as this looks, I thought the concept of cuddling to an Arachnid was in sharp contrast to the soft imagery.

I was aiming for something more carefully drawn, but messy is blurry, blurry is dreamy, and dreamy is what I was aiming for

I think that I wouldn't mind the dreamy atmosphere this have as a tattoo. Very imaginative. I like it.

Fixative is what you need for your drawing. But spray it outside because it smells NASTY! Great job on the drawing. Love the colors and the mix of the girl and the scorpion. You can get fixative at any art store.

Yeah, I better find some fixative before all my originals get destroyed!

Thanks!. It was interesting to draw. I wanted to put more detail in the glass flower and the sand (shadow underneath the scorpion and the girl`s head...everything seems to be floating!) but I got lazy!!

By the way, congrats on your publication!!

DreamerPierrot In reply to mitengu [2010-06-20 08:13:46 +0000 UTC]

I think it's alright without the shading underneath actually, it makes the whole thing more dreamlike
Oh and thanks To be honest I almost forgot about the book, I still need to read it!

mitengu In reply to DreamerPierrot [2010-06-21 10:57:38 +0000 UTC]

Well, I succeeded then I was afraid of ruining the drawing with the shades.

Let me know when the book comes out, would like to have a look
