here is a pic from 4 months ago:
here is one from today (work done 2 weeks ago):
(the bottom fin scabbed up a little and lost some color, getting touched up later)
so you can see color better:
(some random hairs in there)
i am working on turning it into a half sleeve.
there will be a lotus like on my tricep down by the elbow with a hanya on my inner arm. windbars and everything else of course.
next sitting is a week from today.

yea i wanted to go for a black and gray background to make the colors really stand out.ILikeBond wrote: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.
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
