This is my latest entry to Illustration Friday:
Im actually rather pleased with this one… The topic was “Tattoo”. Was racking my brain and came up with 3 lousy iterations of pin-up girls. Late last night Bill says “I just keep picturing a little kid drawing on herself with markers”. So this pretty much came right out.
This one here on the bottom is the finished version. I had some good advice from Jason that helped me transform the rough looking one on the top into something a little less busy. Doing this image was a great learning experience.

This wasn’t what I had intended to do, it was what I had time to do. I’m still working on my original idea. I’ll post that later.
Photoshop, Flash, and an excuse to try out ArtRage (Thanks Bart!)
Edit: 4.19.06: I finally posted the other idea I had for “Tea.”
Since once I sat upon a promontory,
And heard a mermaid on a dolphin’s back
Uttering such dulcet and harmonious breath,
That the rude sea grew civil at her song,
And certain stars shot madly from their spheres
To hear the sea-maid’s music.
– Midsummer Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare
