BE creative and im willing to throw $120 to anyone that can give me a great a tattoo design. want it to come from my right shoulder to my elbow and wrap slightly around the arm. I dont really want the 2id patch to be very big in it, if u choose to use it, and def dont want it to be the centerpiece. Sunset being put in the background would be awesome and color on that would be fine. would like the text "family forever" somewhere in the sketch, in a creative font. not too much detail on the soldiers if u use em, more of like a shadow effect when utilizing people in the design. Open to more ideas though. ONLY 6 more days!

**** 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
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 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?
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
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.
