Summary:
upper right arm, black/gray, shading, details. Content: hamburg, compass, light, CMHK, stars, anchor, barrels, "hummel"
Description:
right, upper arm, start: shoulder top, end: the area above my elbow. could wrap around my arm, not sure. open for suggestions. on the first attached image you can see what I have already. the new one DOES NOT have to be the same style.
Please look at the 2nd attached image. I need "hamburg", my home town in the tattoo. the main element of hamburgs crest/emblem is the castle. I added 3 different samples of how it could look like below. I thought the tattoo could maybe show a character that walks towards the castle.
the charcter is a "Hummel" and very traditional. it shows a guy carrying 2 water buckets. Instead of some guy, I'd rather have a face of a woman there.
above the map you see stars. it's the great bear constallation. I would like to hide it in the tattoo somewhere. I don't want them to be too obvious. same with the following initials CMHK. on the 2nd attachment you will see a JSP logo. maybe you could turn the "CMHK into something like that?
I'm also a photographer and travel a lot. I would like to have a compass in the tattoo to represent all my trips and light since there would be no photograph without any light. It could be an old lantern with a candle, but I'm open for suggestions.
I'm German but have been living in new york for years now and would like a little detail thats new york related too.
my friends know that when I drink, I drink bacardi. if you could include some old barrels with a bat logo on the side, it would be nice, but thats not a must.
I would also like to add an achor.
If you have a completely different idea, let me know.
feel free to start with a basic scetch and once I like the concept/proportions you could provide a more detailed version.

I have added some individual comments but let me summerize it here:
the letters for the compass are N-S-W-O.
the "hummel" girl needs to look attractive/sexy,
I think my favorite is still the first design, but I need it to be less comic style.
thank you for your hard work! I just came back from a trip to Europe. I will provide detailed feedback tomorrow and extend the contest if necessary.
the one I posted in the describtion is only a random map.

that's a link to a map of hamburg. maybe that helps.
I can't wait to see you design! ;o)
Thanks!
thanks for working on it. I have no idea if I can extend it again, but will be happy to try! We'll know more in about 6 hours...
Thank you,,

the anchor needs to be bigger (like on the first design).
the girl needs a longer jacket and the jacket needs a collar.
its hard to see her black shoes, but if you put the white circle back into the compass design it would look better.
about the compass element: I love the way how you put everything together and the placement is great, but it's a different style. It's not drawn like everything else.
For now, I know what you are capable of doing and I can picture the changes mentioned above.
I want to give it a few more days to see if someone else wants to join the club.
I like what you did. the elements and proportions are great, but I'm still hoping for a less-comic-style, maybe even more realistic style version.
thanks for putting in so much work!!!
