Always in my heart flower wreath

just black is good

Once the coloring is complete, I'll submit a few with different style fonts for you to choose from. Also, would you like to see the font in color or do you want just black?

I would really like to see your with the font changed to more elegant and you mentioned you were working on the color.
Thanks

I can make the changes to the font, no problem. I'm currently working on the coloring. I usually submit the sketch first and submit the colored version when it's totally complete. I should have it up before the night is over.

I guess that is up to you.. I would like it obviously, that is the point of my comments

should i even try fixing it......i mean last call...??

Don't take offense. Im trying to help. When tattooing you must think about what it is going to look like a couple years after getting it done. Ink spreads over time, especially if you expose you tats to the sun alot. The more room between the lines, the longer lasting the tat will be.

Your smaller flowers (the ball shaped ones) far to many lines in there, it will all bleed together. The roses are better, all the lines in the center of the roses are going to bleed together. Bird isnt bad, the top of the wings where you have all the skinny feathers will bleed together, same with some of the feathers on its butt. The big font is fine, the little font might have some issues with a couple numbers in the future, like the 3.

Not bashing you at all, trying to help you grow as a tat designer since your really into it. Its great to have your art on someones body but take into account bleed, skin color, and lifestyle. Someone who is a surfer and out in the sun constantly with tats always exposed is gonna bleed more then an office worker that always has them covered. Also some people just break down the ink faster then others. I have a duck on my ankle I got when I was 17, Im only 23 and his eyes have bled to the point they look closed. (they were half lidded eyes). My tats on my upper arms are starting to bleed out (have had them for almost 5 years some areas I had only a millimeter in between the lines and now its bled together. My mom had a rose on her inner thigh and after getting pregnant with me and years of sun its now a blob, completely unrecognizable. I saw old photos of it and all the lines were really close together.

http://www.getinked.co.uk/before and after.jpg take this one for example. not to much detail in her face but it still bled together. the less detail the better. but when it fades really bad like that its easier to cover up or touch up like the redone tat next to it.

Have you studied tattooing at all? It will help you understand how tats work and last. and thus you will become a better flash artist.

Keep up the good work :D

I just want to first off say how sorry I am for your loss. You have my deepest sympathy.

I think this is a lovely tribute to your grandmother. There are several ladies in my own family that have a love for flower gardening. I would like to create something for you that can capture the beauty of such gardens. I feel the best way for me to do that is to give the wreath a more asymmetrical look. I tried doing a symmetrical one, but, it didn't feel quite right to me. So, I'm thinking of doing clusters of smaller flowers on the side that is currently blank, with maybe one large flower, and tie in some vines and leaves. I think that would make for a little more of a unique design. I submitted my current sketch for you to take a look at, so you could get an idea of where I'm going, and to see if you would like me to continue with what I've got in mind.

I will try working on another one for you in the mean time I had to submit my old one in color I spent to much time on it already..hehe.

I do like the idea but im not sure about the style of flowers, i did like the dates on the leaf by the ladybug on the last one.... but i was looking through other contests on here and if you look under " flowers for my children" contest i am thinking i would like adding those kinds of flowers . Also in the contest "Roses and Rifles " the image 3882 has a really nice vine and roses style that i liked. Mine does not necessarily have to be in a wreath shape. It just needs the important info and have flowers,vines, roses and preferably with the hummingbird and ladybug. Thanks

I am sorry about your loss, I just realized that it was very recent and you must be grieving a plethora. I just want to design something that I could give back to you. When my grandmother passed I was devastated but your giving back to her my engraving her memory forever on your body. I would love to be apart of that memory if possible. Whenever you get some time, please let me know, what you would like to see on my design. I haven't added color because I want to make sure you like the drawing first. ;*)
