Bump!
So i've been considering for quite a few months about getting a tattoo. I want it to be a dragon, i've always had a thing for dragons. So at first I wanted just a simple tribal design type, and I wanted to draw it myself so I could make sure it's absolutely PERFECT and customised to my liking. Here's how the design has developed over the past year:
After re-designing it for so long and looking at it for that amount of time I just couldn't seem to be fully happy with it. Then my friend got a detailed dragon tattoo, which just inspired me to scrap the tribal look and go for a more detailed approach. So now, my design currently looks like this:
It's a first sketch of it, but i'm really pleased with it so far. I've always loved angel wings, whenever I drew people i'd stick a pair of angel wings on them for some stupid reason. So now i'm extremely happy how i've got the kind of strong metallic look of a dragon wing as well as the feathers. And yes, I used the FFX Bahamut art as a guide.
I want the tattoo to be placed on my right shoulder, the edge of the longest tip of wing to trace along the shoulder blade and the body would just reach the part before my spine. It's gonna hurt, and it's gonna take a while since i'm going with a shaded design, but hopefully it'll look good.
Here is a tattoo i've designed for my best friend, who is actually going out and getting it in the very near future. Seeing my design on someone is going to be such a huge honour, and also quite strange!
Jam it back in, in the dark.
