They're all wonderful.

thanks Dan, They are all perfect in their own ways, each design different from eachother but beautiful and fulfilling all of my requests. Each artist's version is truly a work of art, I love how each mind envisioned the same things in these different ways! Such creativity.....
I don't feel need for any changes, just need to now take a good look and choose the one I feel most comfortable wearing for the rest of my life :) It Has been fun and so nice to 'meet' a few new people, and thank you for going out of your way with alterations, variations, and for the great communication throughout! It's really going to be tough because each one of you have nailed it with your designs.
Any more last hour suggestions for improvement?
February 13 2012 3:47pm
Sami, I'll be happy to make any modifications to refine or change anything that you're not 1000% happy with either before or after the official end of the contest. I want you to have choices and absolute satisfaction since it's something you'll live with forever. So anything I (or any of the others) can do in these last few hours that can insure you're totally thrilled with your choice will be my pleasure to do for you. And thanks for the opportunity.

Thanks so much to everyone.

I'd just like to say thank you to all who entered this contest. You are all extremely talented and have been such a pleasure to work with and I appreciate the effort from everyone to bring my dream tattoo to life! This is not going to be an easy decision tomorrow, just choosing one design! They're all so wonderful and exceeded all of my #ks again and best wishes.
~Sami
Thank you again, new designs up

Sami,
This has been fun. You'll see lots of the suggestions and symbols have been incorporated now. Hope you like where it's going. Be happy to keep making modifications based on any feedback you'd like to share. Used the simplified deathly hallows symbol as the new wing design has the ornate gothic character build in and around it.

Thanks Dan

Thank you for your note and details regarding your design. I look forward to seeing what you have created. I know I've been a complicated case for all of you artists with designing/disguising the scarring issue (ick) so I appreciate everyone's meticulousness-- is that a word? lol-- the 'eye for detail' that is being given toward the camoflauging of the marks.
Thanks again (Love the phoenix on your page.Your work is very detailed/comprehensive and lovely!)
Thank YOU, Sami!

You don't know how much that helps! Makes me more excited and enthusiastic to show you what I've been developing. I'll post an 'early stage' example of where I'm going with this since your photo had me completely redo the wings to a 'more suited' species with a better shape and pattern that will more effectively cover the scarring. I hope you love what I'm designing - you'll note that I work from highly realistic toward a design that works as a tattoo as my method of designing, so in later stages, it'll be simplified and altered in color tones even though I start with highly smooth and realistic shading. Any comments or suggestions always more than welcome. And I noticed the site wouldn't let me share my email so I appreciate you picking up on that and sharing the photo on the description site. Also you'll note that I've not yet added the surrounding forest, wolf and forget me not floral garden or the symbols and icons. I've not forgotten them but simply wanted to resolve the main challenge first of a composition that accomplishes your primary purpose of camouflage.

Regarding your stencil, you will recieve from your chosesn artist your linework & final design(s), depends on what they make for you. You can print it on regular paper, your tattooist will have a machine (or an underling haha) who will transfer it to carbon, & probably do any resizing needed, but you can always call them to ask what they need you to bring in .
I was going to enter this but I think Octavia has you covered---she's the faerie Queen here in my opinion!

Would one of you be please be able to tell me how it works once the contest ends and the design's chosen? Would I then recieve the tattoo stencil via email or paper mail? Do I need to purchase a specific type of paper if it's to be printed off the computer, rather than carbon paper? Thanks.. :)

Hi. Love the concept and beginning your design submission
January 29 2012 12:37pm
Hi. Your description is excellent and provides great guidance. I will be submitting several variations of the fairy design and would greatly appreciate feedback as I submit them as they are developing to insure you end up with a design you can really love (and live with!). Please be brutal in your feedback to insure I know exactly what you like and don't so I can refine it to match your vision as best I can. Thanks. Dan
Hi there
January 29 2012 9:05am
I have just read your description on what you want, and wanted to ask a few questions.

Do you want to use the face in your example for the faerie? or something similar?

I personally feel and feel free to correct me if you like, but all the ideas you have would make the tattoo very busy and, if you went for something more simple you can really add more beauty with color and shape of the tattoo. may I suggest that the tattoo could grow to enhance your beautiful curves and add beauty to your curves.

Heres an idea I have to make everything more natural rather than placed. the faerie sat on a rose or stem of a rose like she is sitting in a rose garden. on her arms have the nickel back logo as a tattoo using vines. the Deathly Hallows use as the background using vines if the roses and using the circle of the at a gateway into another realm, you can make a play on lighting here. her wings could be more gothic and she can be more innocent looking, but theres a deadly ness in beauty, the tips of her hair could be blood colored and have blood dripping from them. the star could then be used in the background with out over complicating the faerie.

Would you be offended If I asked for a photos of your scars so that I can design it the best of my ability. I know its not easy, and I understand if its too much to ask.

I think I will outline a sketch to show you what I mean

Do you like pan's labyrinth? I could an an edge of that to the tattoo too.

Warm Regards

Octavia
