Critique and Ideas **Updated with New Pics of completed 3/4*

I had an archangel on my shoulder and wanted to keep it going down to a 3/4 sleeve. I like what the artist did from the bottom of the angel on down. I think I need something above the angel to cap it off and add it to the flow of the sleeve.
Any thoughts on what I can add to the top? I will be adding a rose with a skull in it to go over the elbow. That will be added next week.

some dark ominous clouds above and beside the angel, covering the deltoids...black and grey work
Exactly the kind of criticism I am looking for! I appreciate the honesty man. I do agree that it looks like shit. The last pic was immediately after my first session and in the other pics, it was still healing. It does look a bit better now, but the artist agreed that it is going to require some rework.schloob wrote:Sorry to be blunt, but the dude looks like shit.
Flames above the angel. He looks like an avenging angel, with his spear and chain. He needs to be coming out of the flames of hell.
I like the eyeball. It needs some reflections though. Old photographers trick is to make sure there's a reflection of the light in the eyes, otherwise they look dead. Old photoshopping trick is to pinken the inner corner of the eye to make the white look whiter.
I like the text too. I'm not usually a big fan of text tattoos, but I like the sentiment on you.

If someone put a skull/rose that looked like that on my elbow I would be PISSED. That is terrible. No dimension at all. I just had my elbow done a few days ago, so I know what it feels like, and to end up with that? Sorry, man.

Yes, get a good artist.
I like that you are using some color, but the basic work is poor.

I think its possible. You'll have to find one willing to work on somebody else's work.
Honestly, No. Its a huge dark blob. No negative space. It's gonna be impossible to re-work, and even if you could, no-one with any skills is going to touch that. That's the truth.furie5000 wrote:Appreciate all of the feedback. Do you think that a good artist can work on it and make it look better, add some dimension to it?
