one of my pen and inks

[sharpguitarist]

so as not to highjack evil d's thread, i started this one. a couple of his oriental themed artworks reminded me of one of my own.
i did this a few years ago, with the intention of having it tattooed on my back, but reconsidered because i was unsure about someone else recreating my artwork for me.
hope you guys like it.
once again, props to evil d for his fantastic artwork!

Sick!!!

[SlideTechnik]

Wow, you have serious talent!

[SmoothOne25]

the contrast of the simple in the background and the complex in the foreground....
the blending of the two seamlessly... WOW

That's pretty sweet.....dot matrix style?

There was a guy in my senior advanced art class in high school who did a huge portrait of Ali knocking out Frasier and he did it in all ink dot matrix and from 5 feet away it looked like a black and white poster....probably the best pen and ink i've ever seen, and from a high school kid at that.

Both of those pictures are very well done. I especially like the first one. I'm assuming you do something like that as your profession as that is outstanding. I hope I'm not out of line though, but, putting that on your back as a tattoo is sort of lame and a bit tacky. That's an awesome pic on it's own. Don't ruin it. But that's just my opinion.

Probably for the best, otherwise people would ask why would you have a CRKT hisshou tattooed on your back. :p

not my profession, just a hobby.

actually, when i did this drawing, i wasn't even aware of the crkt hissou. i just did my interpretation of a katana that i had seen in the past. i tried to recreate the hamon and handle wrap as best i could.
