I'm in desperate need of some help here. I recently got started on a half sleeve part of which was supposed to be a neural network in space. After spending a lot of time gathering pictures and thinking about the design I rushed in with an artist and am now regretting it like crazy. We got started on the color work yesterday and to me it looks too clownish, or too much like a University of Michigan emblem. There are a number of things I don't really like but the color scheme is number one. I feel like I need to find a new artist to finish up, and rework what they can. Is this even possible considering how far along it is? I am looking for suggestions on artists in the northeast US who might be able to do something. Someone preferably good in reworking/cover ups, color work, and experience with big fantasy/science themed pieces.

Also, I am looking for any suggestions or advice that is out there. What possible color scheme can I switch to in order to make my sleeve look less clownish?. Does it really look that bad or is it in my head? Am I jumping the gun here considering it hasn't healed and the color hasn't been finished? If I could start over I probably would have gone with blue with white for the sparking areas but instead things have gone blue with yellow and orange in the sparking area.

Wow that is pretty bad. I don't think any credible artist would continue that piece. But they may be willing to cover it up. Talk to tim kern.

I was half serious... That's a Huge solid black area. That's 10 huge laser sessions to be able to cover with anything... You could add around it, but the location is kinda where youre eye is gonna be drawn to on a sleeve...
