2774 n 2775 have way to much detail when it comes to the soldier, and 2777 the shadow soldier sticks out from everything else a lil too much, takes the focus off the rest of that design, and im not quite sure wat is going on in the background

I am relatively new to this site; only been on it for a couple of months, but I have noticed one thing:

**** a lot or artist will not submit until the last day****

**** Especially with the higher dollar contests*****

(you can come to your own conclusions as to why)

the reason i bring this up is I see your frustration in not seeing any submissions. Don't get me wrong - This is a GREAT website and I wouldn't be suprised if you get at least 10 seperate submissions in the next 2 days. the problem with the late submissions is that you cant give feedback to all of them.

I will start on my design for you today and hope to have something presentable by Tuesday night.

ONE REQUEST: CAN YOU POST A PICTURE OR A LINK TO A PICTURE THAT SHOWS YOUR RIGHT BICEP? IT WOULD REALLY HELP WITH THE PRESENTATION (see my past submissions)

Thanks! - Bob

i think i like 2749 a lot more. it makes the overall design a bit more rich. makes it seem like it is getting more coverage.

can u maybe take the color out of the lettering, or maybe just use a darker red? if its too much, and i choose yours i can just have the artist i take it to make the adjustments

I wouldnt mind extending it at all, not sure how i can do that though... may i ask wat it is your having problems with? any questions with wat i want for the design just ask and ill try my best to get back to asap
Hello
March 28 2010 4:14pm
May I ask if you can request a few extra days for the idea to give the artist more time to find out what else you might like included? putting this one together has been a bit difficult to come up with, for me and maybe others if they are drawing by hand such as i am. I'm sure it would be appreciated, and maybe better off to get some more designs out of the artists here.

I want it to wrap around a little. but not entirely. My skin tone is usually a light tan;
couple questions
March 23 2010 8:12pm
In terms of the shape of the tattoo (and placement on your arm), how open are you to having it somewhat wrap around (but not entirely)?
Or do you prefer it to be a contained image?

How light or dark is your skin tone?

Thanks!
(and thank you for your service to our country!)

i dont want much color, but if u can implement it well and make good use for the backround go right ahead im all for it
Memorable moments
March 22 2010 5:45pm
Perfect. I have a great idea in mind with a setting of all the soliders enjoying the desert sunsets.

I know you had menetioned you don't want much color? However, would you consider having the sunset as the only source of color?
I think the full effect of what you remember bout those moments would be captured with the nice orangish yellow colors of the sky

Your thoughts?

im still currently deployed, but id have to say the most memorable moments so far the the opportunities we have to just relax while on base at night and enjoy the beautiful sunsets, just a bunch of guys that can joke around and smoke and enjoy each others company. if u guys would like u could also incorporate a vehicle, either a HMMV or we also use strykers

I see you don't want the patch as the center piece... thanks for giving more detail....I will come up with another deign. I did the photoshop composite as a tester; it is easy to visualize and don't have to waste the time doing a detailed drawing if it is not what you want.

If you could, could you please tell me the most memorable moment being deployed with your fellow soliders? Maybe a story? The story could set the tone for the piece and I could incorporate some elements from it in the tattoo

if u want to do a photoshop before u draw it thats fine, IM not looking for 2id patch to be the main part of it, but its ok if it is. I just want something high detail with soldiers or something creative hopefullyl being the center piece with other things (ex. patch, lettering, etc. being mixed into the piece) with the desert sunset behind all of it. hope this helps
Yes
March 22 2010 1:35pm
I have an idea for a design, but it would be kind frustrating to spend alot of time drawing it out (actually drawing as opposed to photoshop cut and paste) and it turns out to be nothing you want.
Could you please give more details as to what you are looking for.
Do you want images of Soldiers interacting with each other, the 2ID patch a main part of the tattoo, etc.
I planned on doing something with the Chief head being the center piece with various scenes surrounding him.
Ex. Soldier helping another wounded Soldier, Soldier chilling on a .50 cal turret, etc.
Thanks.
