8... yes, EIGHT... new tattoodles today, to move toward finishing up my right arm.

most of it came from the same picture as my elbow piece, a sort of collage of different stuff by Voivod's drummer Away (whose art, if you've been following along, i REALLY like). i'll use spoilers since this will be fairly image-heavy.

first, the mid-section stuff (names made up by me):

SPOILERS! (Click to view)

"cometface"

"dancing bug dude"

"ditch-dweller"


and to show the overall placement:



next, the poor little lonely forearm addition (who will be joined by more work on Jan 19 biggrin ):

SPOILERS! (Click to view)

"pincher bug"


and to show his placement:



next, the armpit piece (not a pleasant place to get tattooed, incidentally):

placement:


the original of this (well, all this stuff actually) was in strictly b/w but i wanted a bit of color added to it... we decided to go with orange and purple in this one, just to make it look creepier and more bloodshot... but i'm not a big fan of red, so we went to either side of it in the color spectrum. some of the purple will be hard to make out in the pic b/c of skin irritation. i'll put up a newer pic once it heals



lastly (but not least), the three upper-arm bits:

ufos

"ghost"


and this shows the placement, plus the "burst" we added to fill the backround:


i asked to add some white to the "ghost" to make him look, well, more ghostly... artist added in some light blue as well, to help him really pop out against the green.

speaking of the green, i asked him if he could add more of that around Brainiac and behind the ufos etc, to make it look like Brainiac's head was radiating/pulsating/glowing/whatever... he decided to do an old-school comic-book style "burst" since the ufos already had that kind of vibe to them... turned out great i think. he drew on the lines, then tattooed over them with just water to puff up the skin temporarily, then colored outside of where he'd drawn the lines so it would leave that negative space and separate it from Brainiac himself. i learn something new about tattooing techniques every time i get something done by this guy wink



soooooo. yeah. like i said, i go back again on Jan 19 for the forearm stuff, maybe add a few more bits of color to what we did tonight, and that should finish up the right arm. then, onto the left arm in Feb biggrin
