FINALLY!

The THIRD table sent to me from the manufacturer... the first TWO had to be sent back because they were (very) damaged. Now I can finally start drawing real drawerings, not just doodling in a sketchbook on my couch! HOORAY!!!!

OK OK, still closed for renovations, but....

Couldn't resist posting more geek sketches. Superheroes, zombies, werewolves. Grr. Arggg.


Superham. 

Tha Bat. 

Grrr. Arggg. 

Grrr. Arggg. 

SKULLBABY LAND CLOSED FOR RENOVATIONS.

Hey all, just gonna say that I won't be posting for a while... Work and personal stuff is taking up a lot of my time. I've got a new project in the works but it's sure to eat up my recreational hours... and I'm sure it won't be ready to show for a while, but when it does, I'll be posting.

Bye for a while,
Trav

Tattoo Pt. 2- The underlying framework design

The underlying framework shown with the angel's linework superimposed... I tried to make the design have as much purpose as possible.. for example, having the angel's wings arc up and point to the passage in the top halo.

The underlying design (shown without angel illustrations). I tried to design all the curves, shapes, and spacial relationships with a purpose... Lots of "infinity" symbols (figure 8's), equallateral spaces, etc...

It's finally finished! Tattoo design for my buddy David.

Been working on this thing for quite a while... This is a tattoo design that my friend David asked me to do for him. It's a design in memory of his father William who passed away a couple years ago.

I'm really happy with the results... and glad to finally be finished with it, and happy to have given the design to him. Once it's inked around his arm (it'll be a full forearm sleeve) I'll post photos, but it may be a while!


The final design that will wrap around the arm (the compass meets in the back of the arm). I'm sure I'll do more obsessive little tweaks, but it's 90% done. 

Details of the tattoo's different areas.

The "compass" design, with the 4 initials for the 4 members of the family (William, Valerie, Karen, and David). 

Closer detail of the female angel. 

Closer detail of the male angel. 

Closer detail of the bottom area. 

Inside the top halo is an excerpt from David's excellent song "The End", written for his father. 

The tattoo design- original sketch.

The original sketch. I had to simplify quite a bit... 

Closer detail of the female angel (sketch). 

More Spidey villians in the cartoony style... 

Sketches of a sample I wanted to do... The trial of Sabertooth! And of course he gets loose and shreds everyone in the courthouse. 

Sketches of Doc Ock from back in 2003... these turned into a Marvel sample, that year. I like drawing Doc Ock as a fat, angry piece of shit. 

Spidey.. now with more THOOM!
