Description A second tattoo for a wonderful client...

I'm very proud of my self for this one... I can't even begin to tell you the number of sketches I made and dropped before coming up with a final three. I'm new to the tattoo art field and so I needed to think a little differently because you always need to consider tattoo location...

You'll notice there's a watermark on this. That's at the client's request. PLEASE do not take this for your own...it was custom made just for him and it would not be fair to steal his or my ideas. If you like what you see, I would be please to work with you on your own tattoo... He has promised me a photo so I can see this inked.

Sketches done in pencil, final done entirely in PS CS.

I was actually struggling not to put every scale...thats' why i ended up coloring him in all back...I wanted him to stay more graphic than realistic...

Wow! This is a nice tattoo, but I couldn't see myself getting it. :'3
I like the way you overlap the snakes body, and the mouth is well drawn. Good work, I like it a lot.

yeah...the tattoo I would love to get is rather...ambitious....and so I'm not sure if I'll ever get it...i really should draw it up and post it though...for fun...^_^

I find this tattoo very masculine...so I'd see it more on a guy than us ladies...*grin* Thankfully..it IS for a guy *lol*

Very nice ^^ Yea it does remind me of Yakuza tatoos! (is that a bad thing?)
i wish it were colored though, itd be even cooler

sha-arts In reply to wikkedvenus [2006-11-11 22:22:41 +0000 UTC]

hell no...being compared to that is EXTREMELY flattering and I've been blushing for the last 5 minutes since I read your comment and Mredria's comment... So they're gangs and stuff...but the tattoo work is amazing!

I don't know about it being colored though....I wanted it to be stark and graphics seeing as the commissioner's first thoughts were for it to be more tribal...I tried to get that graphic feel while still making it semi-realistic...
