Summary:
A descending Valkyrie collecting the souls of fallen warriors
Description:
I'll try my best to describe what I would like:
Firstly it will be going on my left shoulder blade, no higher than the base of my neck and no lower than the middle of my back, It needs to keep to the left side of my back as i have a tribal piece the right side.
The tattoo: the basic picture I'm looking for is a Valkyrie descending from the sky, preparing to take the soul of a fallen warrior.
Details: the Valkyrie and the soul are the prominent features of the tattoo, i dont need a background to the tattoo apart from maybe a small amount around the fallen body.
I dont want the Valkyrie to be naked but i would like it to have some tribal style tattoos of its own.
As for colour, i would prefer it to be gray scale but i would consider a small amount of colour if you think it needs it.
I have added a couple of pictures just to help for the style and insperation.
I look forward to seeing the designs.

I was unaware they rode horses though, the pictures I've seen they always had wings.
I quite like the idea of frank millers style especially they way he drew Sin City, very dark.
I invited you because I love the detail and effort you put into your drawings. If you do put in an entry i look forward to seeing what you come up with.
The Valkyries weren't naked, they were fit for battle and the rode horses. They would scoop the souls up off the battlefield and carry them to Valhalla.
The only tats I would give her is probably Celtic or Norse. I wouldn't violate the design with modern tyribal.
I can do a traditional Norse engravings style or a Graphic Novel twist (Frank Miller-ish) but anything else would probably look retarded. If I do this, I will be going for a "Classic Badass" look, probably leaning towards the engraving look.
I have 3 huge contests in front of you that will finish this week, I will check back and see how the contest is going and judge what my chances are.

I like the idea of the soul looking almost ghost like as it comes out of the body, kinda half in half out if you know what i mean.
Yes i would like the valkyrie to have wings, I can't decide if they should be open or closed though so i shall leave the decision up to yous, whatever you think would look better.
