[Art] Design a Tattoo (Echo)

(an echo from SST)

so... who wants to design my next ink job? I'm looking for something feline with an Egyptian feel that has sensual qualities. keep it simple (no colors) and nothing humanoid.

I know it's vague, but I honestly have no idea what I want. the only ideas I have are the ones I've stated.

so... ideas?

I'd let Sade design your tattoo since he's had a bunch of experience with it.

I like his tribal-design art. I /really/ like his tribal design art.

not too bad although I'm not sure if tribal is what I'm looking for. I can't even find any info if he takes requests/commissions.

[Edit: I just found his rates for a commission. :wideeyes $100 is the lowest I can expect.]

Gunny. I'd be up for throwing a couple things together. Even if they weren't up to par with an actual tat-worthy drawing, they might help give ya more of an idea of what you're looking for.
One question though, are ya looking more for realism or cartoonish or realist-cartoon or anime-ish, etc.?

er... non-realism. everything else is fair game. I don't want to limit options or ideas.

Were you interested in any human characteristic of the body? Or all feline? Ex: The Common Pictoral of the Pharoh Woman with a Cat Head...

all feline. no humanoid shapes at all.

I would never attempt to design a tattoo. But I have seen one cat tattoo...though I dinae think ye'd like it, it being on a *cough* usually undiscolosed body part. THus warned, if you /must/ see it: :eek

I can't say that the idea of getting a tattoo there has ever crossed my mind... cuz it hasn't.

Oh good. You just jumped up a few Respectability Points in my book.

Well, I did a couple little sketches tonight. I think both may be a little too detailed for what you wanted, even though I tried to keep my usual detail/shading/etc. down to a minimum.
They are just sketches that I only put about 3-5 minutes a piece into, but maybe they'll help spur more ideas about what exactly you're looking for.
I can do more, differently than these, if ya need em.

just so everyone knows, I'm still wanting to see other ideas. so don't feel like you don't have to offer anything because I liked Teja's work. please please show me anything you came up with. you can either email it to me through my earthlink account or post it here.
