Ok, so I know where I want it on my right arm above a t-shirt sleeve. I want it to convey a guardian, power, persistence, willpower, compassion, loyalty, fierocity. I'm thinking about a European style dragon with wings, but I want the mouth closed. I found several designs I like and whenever I get the time I'm going to see if an artist can collaborate bits and pieces into 1 custom dragon design that would be black . I also want to have the alpha omega symbol incorporated into it such as the dragon holding an orb or the sun with it in there. Any opinons? and how much does a sketch cost? Because I'm not 100% sure if I want this yet. Or I want the symbiote spiderman symbol from spiderman 3 on my left pec or put that on my right arm instead of the dragon.

Come on, spideytat, Spider-man 1 (with the exception of the Green Goblin costume) was pretty outstanding end to end.

I liked one and two, 3 they ruined. It moved way to fast, Venom was cool, but they could have made him have more screen time, I'm not going through my entire list of critques because I could write a book. I read, watched, breathed spiderman in my younger days.

Number one reason I hated Spiderman 3:

Venom did not call itself "WE". Miss out on that detail and you kill the whole idea of a symbiotic lifeform.

I flipped on that scene. The other thing was the voice shouldnt have been so normal sounding. They could've had a more sinister sounding voice.


Anyway this was more about finding out if the dragon was the right form of symbolism for what I'm trying to convey. haha
