Ok so about a week ago i got a gap filler piece from russ at ink and dagger. Now my bottom half of the sleeve is framed out nicely with only the "parting gift" (the back of the arm people look at when you walk away) left open.
The rework in question is a large 3/4 b&g piece from my cap down past the ditch on the outside. Its very light and muddy and really detracts from my better work below.
I have decided that the large cthulhu needs a rework...in color...by a different artist

i know. Its not great by any means. Its.muddy and hard to read. I realize this. Thats why i need suggestions on who to look into forbthe rework.

Ive talked to a few artists about it and they have all said that its light and open enough to br reworked in color.

I was leaning toward starting a leg sleeve next but i think id rsther sort out the sleeve.

Heres pics of the rest of what i have for refrence.

I need suggestions for the rework. Im based in georgia but willing to travel. Id kinda like to keep it east coast though. Looking for color. I just havent ever had anything reworked so im not sure where to look. Thanks for opinions and suggestions.

I have no input, but all of your other work looks really clean.

Yea barrett is in warner robbins, ga. Didnt really consider him because hes primarily realism and thats not what im looking for. Theres no high def picture of what i want.
He did my hand and forearm. I plan on getting out there for second passes with him and i want something from les collier.

I am willing to travel just keep it in the states and east of the mississippi

Edit: i think im just going to start reaching out to the artists that i want work from to see if any would be willing.
