I'm looking for anyone artistic up for a project. I have ideas for my next tattoo in mind, but I'm afraid I lack the skills anymore to put it to paper. I've got another 4 months till I can get it, but still. I'll be doing it for my birthday which is in May.
So if you look over these ideas and feel like sketching something up for me, I'd love to see it. I'm going to work on it a bit, but it's been years since I tried to draw and I've found that the talent somewhat fades when it's not in practice.
Ok so I'll describe the idea first and then I'll supply you with some images that caught my eye.
Placement is on my lower leg - probably centered on my calf, but possibly on the side. But I'm pretty set on the leg.
What I want is a weeping willow tree. I want the willow to have the root system showing. I'd like a girl to be hugging around the tree so that her face is showing, a little of her body, but mostly that you can see her arms hugging around the trunk. I think it'd be neat if the trees branches were sort of "hugging" her back, but not sure how that would actually look. I'd like the whole thing to look more illustrated than realistic. I love colors, but I'm thinking with this one I'd like to stay in earth tones and just maybe a little pop of color.
So that being said here are a few images that caught my eyes. I will try to link them to where I found them as to give credit. Some I've had for a long time saved to my computer and might not know anymore.
I love the root system on this image. I love that it goes into the shape of the Earth.
I just REALLY like this tree even though it's not the right style.
Again just really like this tree even though it's not the correct style.
I love how the leaves are done in this print.
Like the tree and how the leaves are similar to the above print. I would want the tree trunk longer, but the roots are showing so it's a little closer to what I'm looking for.
I like how she is positioned in this image. You can see her face and her arms hugging.
I love the style of this girl. I love the heart is carved in the tree. I like how her eyes are closed and she appears happy. I might prefer this position of the girl, but not sure.
Another tree that I really like, but it may be due to the colors.
And this last image I have is just awesome. It doesn't really fit what I'm looking for but it's so great that I have to share it.
Thanks in advance to anyone that decides to sketch something up for me.
