'Pity the Dead'

along with the the uni work, i have also been drawing what i want as well.....off course....

the first image is a design im gonna get tattooed on the last free space on my right shin....can't wait to get it complete....and feel them silver needles.... :)

i wanted it to be elegant and pretty but also bad ass....for some reason im obsessed with roses, skulls and filligree....so here we have it all....

for christmas i wanted to give my parents something they could keep forever, instead of the usual crap....and what do they love most in the world....me and my sister off course (debatable) so heres a portrait i drew of me and my sis...black and grey off course...

i think they liked it...

'Sometime around midnight'

In this post, i am going to talk about my uni work.....zzz.....

My current project is creating tattoo designs narrating bible stories. At the moment i am on the 'annunciation' when the Angel Gabriel visits Mary telling her she is bearing God's child. i am enjoying it and hating it all at the same time. Its still a work in progress but i feel its coming together now, ever so slowly.....

im doing each design based on a certain body placement....

In the annunciation image i want the focus to be on the Angel Gabriel, as i feel the wings will be a great visual point, so the images below are observational drawings of some stuffed birds wings i drew from in the animal section at Norwich castle.

'Eagle wing'

'random seaside birds'

'Pelican'

Here are some of my back piece designs, real quick sketches, just getting ideas out, experimenting with composition and all that rubbish.

i really like the idea of placing the angel along the bottom, having the wings shape around the back...

i prefer this angel to the one above, but feel it looks like the angel is carrying the baby away, instead of delivering...

i really like this angel....but i think thats because i fancied the guy i drew it from...

i hate this design, but i do like the text....text taken from the bible...
