Okay, yet another dragon designMaybe this one will be the tattoo I'll actually get...
I took one of my previous designs into a tattoo place
To see what they thought about it, and to get some ideas on what to do with it
They said it looked to 'posed' and somewhat unnatural
Bit of a let down, but also a chance to try and improve
I looked through some of the sample books and pictures they had
And got some ideas to try - like the smokey/cloud background
Been putting a lot of work into this one
I think I've drawn this about 10 times over before inking and everything
Anyways - want to hear what you think of it ^^
Sorry about the ugly watermarks
but I've had one of my previous tattoo designs stolen
and the thief claimed it as their own design

Yeah, some people get off on taking other peoples credit to flatter their own ego
But Someone saw it, and pointed it out as mine, deviantart got onto the theif pretty quicky and blocked the account
Thanks

God, I'm so glad they managed to pin point them. It's awful to take credit for something you didn;t do. I can't believe people could feel happy when people say that art they didn't actually do is amazing, it makes no sense.

I think its more just the attention, more than the actual reality of whether they did it or not
They get off on the attention, rather than the fact that people are liking the art

That's sick, and just plain wrong. My art sucks but I would never steal someone elses, it's just stupid.

Yeah - and in my opinion, the feeling you get from having made your own art, and people liking it
far outstrips whatever feeling you get from stealing someone elses and getting commented on someone elses art.
It would just be a hollow feeling I'd say... unless you have a really warped emotions

Yeah, I know I wouldn't feel great because someone was complimenting someone elses art work. I like it when people compliment mine especially as mine are failish.

thanks ^^ Eventually I might find something that I'll like to get done XD
I'm still working on it, I'm just very picky
(But then again, I think one needs to be picky, because it is permanent after all)

LOL
Well I'll see what they (the tattooists) think when I take it in
get it as a temporary first to see how it would look, before getting it done
I'm going to try something with the scales first though
Give them a different style shading - I want to see how it looks
Saw it on another dragon tattoo, at the time of dong this I was just too lazy to do it XD

Yeah, they ended up with their profile deleted cuz they'd been stealing other peoples work and claiming it as their own
Funny thing was - they said their dad designed or something and they added raven (My signature) On top of the dragon cuz it looked cool
Epic fail of a way of explaining why someone's signature is there HAHA
