There's not a whole lot of blending at this stage really

#

I am just working up off of a red brown base

#

#

Here's some earlier parts

dull dagger Jul 13, 2024, 5:09 PM

#

Any purple under it? I've been doing my skins by starting off with a purple underwash then adding on some brown, red, flesh and pink

#

Oh nice!

#

That burgundy is a smart move I like it

arctic kelp Jul 13, 2024, 5:09 PM

#

No purple as of yet

dull dagger Jul 13, 2024, 5:10 PM

Cannot wait to see this one when it's ready 😄

arctic kelp Jul 13, 2024, 5:10 PM

Just that wine red, hull red, black, wolf grey

#

For the skin so far

This is looking amazing so far!

Will you be aiming for desert rose skin? I just remember you suggesting that for Kroot ages ago

Nice, thanks for sharing. I didn't have to scroll far to see both your mitts. I'm a big fan of the flaming gama as well. I'm a tattoo collector and my favorite is the traditional Japanese motif. I think there is some negative connotation with the term collector, and it feels weird to call myself that, but I don't know a better description.

#

I really enjoy a lot of the art around tattooing.

How do you collect them?

untold cobalt Jul 16, 2024, 6:04 PM

#

Haha, exactly why it's a weird term. I collect them on my skin.

#

Like any other profession, there are prominent personalities, and I seek them out for work. I catch them while traveling.

warm haven Jul 16, 2024, 6:53 PM

#

Oh cool, i was a little worried for a moment imagining pieces of skin displayed on your wall

#

That is a cool approach to tattoos i think

#

There can be a lot of pressure to make it ‘personal’ but as an art collection they make perfect sense too

untold cobalt Jul 16, 2024, 8:56 PM

#

I think there is a service where you can have a "doctor" save your skin post mortem for your family.

I have a friend who has a series of empty honeycombs running down his arm and leg. He goes to different artists and has them fill in a space however they want to with their choice of artwork.

All good! Just want to get a glimpse of those wrapping highlights if you’ve done those.

arctic kelp Jul 31, 2024, 8:39 PM

Well nothing really wraps all that much from the prime angle

Like only isnofar as to what you see here really

Ok interesting and are you planning just the main light source from the prime angle?

arctic kelp Jul 31, 2024, 9:22 PM

#

There's going to be a bit of like environmental bounce lights, but not very strong anywhere

#

Just softer ambient lighting really

zealous mortar Jul 31, 2024, 10:03 PM

Ok coolio. Just looking for reference/inspiration for my bust hahaha
