Looks like its probably good, but those pictures are wicked crappy. What'd you take those with a cell phone from 1992? Post better pics, man, lets see the work!

Much better. The color really pops against the black and grey water. Good stuff, man. Who's the artist? Definitely post more when its finished.

yea i wanted to go for a black and gray background to make the colors really stand out.
the artist is Cameron Randall at Orange County Inkhouse.

i will keep updating, in a week i have another sitting to add the lotus, then a few weeks after that i will add a hanya, and then a few weeks after that i will get the windbars to finalize the half sleeve
