i've wanted a phoenix tattoo on my back for a while now. i finally decided to sketch something up. it was inspired by a cool looking phoenix wood plaque i saw. here's the 1st draft:
the piece in the middle is my tat that's already there. the phoenix would be red and yellow (not mixed) on different parts, not greyscale. i dunno, i'm not happy. i think it came out too southwestern art looking or airbrushed. the fire is too smooth and soft. it needs to be more violent. not so sure about the pose, size, or location of it either. i thought about having it wings-spread, from a frontal view, like a cross i guess. that'd be huge and very expensive. i'd be saving money forever.
what do you guys think?
