HI! Esme here, I finally feel confident enough to show you guys a work I have in progress. it is still unfinished, and I have to do a bit more brain storming. Now this is a tattoo idea I have to honor this amazing series and how I feel about it and my life. this is not just about the books, it's about the epic voyage, the way each individual grew, some stubbornly, and how I feel I grow through my daily life. I am fairly happy with what I have so far. For sizing purposes, this is on an 8x11 sheet of drawing paper, done in mechanical pencil. it is not square to the paper, as it is a rough draft. I also took the picture with my crappy phone
I want this on my back, across my shoulders, the Horn of valere will be hopefully, on my shoulder, if not on the side of my right, upper shoulder/ arm. I still have to figure out whether I want just avendesora leaves on my left, or significant weapons from the books intertwined within the branches. if you look closely, there are quotes from the book. Some will be inside the branches, like part of the bark, or trace along the branches. I am not finished with the quotes and have a massive amount I love from the books. Also, I am thinking I want the ever famous first paragraph of the books around said tattoo, but am unsure how to incorporate it, whether it be intertwined within the branches of the sprawling avendesora, or floating on a small banner...I just don't want it to look like I over did it. As for color, It will be colored, but not too intensely, not big and bold (although I love bold colors and most of my ink is very colorful), though the leaves will be nice green colors and hopefully with no black outline if I can find the correct artist
I am a lady, and have tattoos: flower on my leg, flower behind my ear, leaves on my foot (with an acorn), and a delightful corvette logo (the racing flags) tramp stamp...so this will be quite a significant tattoo and I am still iffy on putting a sword on me.
I am open to artistic criticism and any pointers and comments. remember, this is my first go at drawing in years and it is a rough draft and not completed in the least
