I have an idea I want for my next tattoo...but unfortunately, about the best thing I can draw is a stick figure. I know what I want it to be, and am just wondering if there are any bored decent artists kickin around here.

Also, mods, if this should go to the art sub-forum, please move.

a description might help?

Go with the stick figure then...

Ill doodle the shit out of your body.

Well, its for my upper left arm. And a bit detailed/complicated. What I am thinking is I want a decaying corpse climbing up out of the earth, holding a black lantern forth, that has the Black lantern symbol inside shining out. All in black/greys.

Something I can have taken in to get done/redone/touched up by an artist at the shop, but at least an idea on paper so the guys dont look at me and have nothing to go by.

Yes, I am a nerd.

If that comes to be a bit much, jsut a skeletal/zombie arm only holding the same said lantern above out.

Hmm... If I have a moment (I'm working my ass off with my MA Thesis), I'll see what I can come up with, sketch-wise.

Thanks for any who can help!

Hmm, I don't know about going with a Black Lantern symbol - might regret that decision later. However, the skull stuff - Zap can do that.



You probably don't want the tattoo artist doing all that stippling, though. I'd have to doodle something a bit simpler.

I can sketch something out, but if you're looking for something really detailed, life-like, and intricate (a finished, or nearly-finished drawing, which would likely take hours), I have to say, I don't think any artist would do it for free, at least, no artist who would produce something you'd like enough to have tattooed on. It's not that they wouldn't want to; I've had professors (well, a professor) say that you should never do anything for free, because it devalues your work.

It depends on the level of completion you're looking for, I suppose. =/

I'll give it a(n albeit quick) shot; if you have any more details, or any reference images that would help get across what you're looking for a bit more specifically, PM those. Or post them here. Whatever.

No.

It answered the question, didn't it? I can't think of anything more helpful to do to a question than answer it.

I do think you should offer to pay whatever artist agrees at least $10.

Actually, I think I am all set at this point. Thanks anyways, guys.

If I ever get a tattoo, it's probably going to be something like this.

i am all for you getting a no hotlinking tattoo

Strange, it shows up on mine. Let me try and rehost it somewhere.

Well, there is are a couple good local places here. hell, one guy did one of the punisher covers and it turned out pretty god with the detail and shading.

The board doesn't seem to want me to edit the post, so I'll just repost it with an imageshack location instead.

I also like the Magicarp one in that gallery too.

Get a life-sized tattoo of yourself, only taller.

(apologies to Stephen Wright)

I knew a guy who got giant tattoo of himself chiseling himself out of a block of stone on his back. He said it was because he was a self made man.
