Assignment questions..

I am not sure if this is where to ask or not but... Can we do our assignments as tattoos as well? Meaning can I post my designs that are homework and sell them as tattoos?  Also looking of the initial WD public email of the criteria the list of videos, drawings, etc. is that the list for the first week or will we be submitting a lot of that same stuff weekly? Thanks again. I am sure I will have more questions soon! Lol Also thanks for the videos

February Grind

Grind or die! 

My February artwork. 

Fire at will.

Stress Kills

I just finished coloring this up tonight. First time I've gotten some personal art work time in two weeks. Feels good. I like my markers; they're my friends. On Strathmore watercolor paper 11x14.

Thoughts anyone?

On the left is the image I was given for a tattoo. On the right is a color study on vellum with prisma color pencils. I wanted the image to be a little brighter, than the original.

Here is the tattooed version I did today. I would like some critiquing on this piece. So please feel free to message below. Thank you.

Here is a project I've been working on for months. I'm not done with the background. It's entitled "Daughter of the Moon" and is what I think of when I think of my dear friend Nikki. Doesn't look like her at all because it's no portrait, but it "feels" like her to me.

Whatcha think so far?

And some details close up...

Street shop magic!

I made this today. The body position of the eagle globe and anchor is based on Bullseye flash (forgot who drew the original) but every element I drew custom to be more neo-traditional.

This piece I did yesterday. The client found a drawing he liked on the internet. I kept the layout, added antlers that wrapped onto the chest/back, changed the diamond in the owl head to a shamrock, changed all the interior designs/skull art in the sugar skull, changed the eye sockets to enhance aggression but All other elements we kept from the artwork (no signature -no idea who drew it). I wish I got to do things like this more.

Here we have a hunting/fishing and fall/summer add on. This client has very small arms - about 12 inches in circumference so this will wrap on both sides. The old existing piece is a 30 year old Hanna Barbara cartoon of a redneck bear; looks like it was lined with a 14 round. I wanted to cover it but he wanted to keep it even though it's kind of off center. I am incorporating a very minor cover up of old initials on his shoulder blade which I will draw in more tree front and back to cover the initials and balance the tree canopy. Dunno if he will like this. Left side is deer hunting and autumn transitioning to trout fishing and summer on the right side. We shall see.

 

Client decided after seeing the art, that I could cover the old tattoo....yes! I will use the scales of the bass to create visual confusion in order to disguise and cover up the old tattoo. I'm VERY happy he changed his opinion.

Last but not least I started this sleeve of water and flowers. Here is the initial art.
