If this is going to be for an inked tattoo, this looks like it's really going to hurt with all those fine details. Otherwise it's a pretty cool pic on its own merit.

I'd bet it's for a temp tattoo. I doubt the colors would translate otherwise.

As someone who is very much into the tattoo scene, I am curious as to why you would think the colors wouldn't translate.

Isn't tattoo ink's gamut extremely limited? I was under the impression (though it could easily be false) that there are very few colors to work with, and skin tone skews the color palette. I guess I was thinking mostly of Grape's purple, a color I've never seen in a tattoo, and the oranges, which are touchy colors in most media.

Unfortunately, I'm not very experienced with tattoo art, so my view shouldn't be taken as fact, and I welcome a correction to any misconceptions that I may have with the medium.

It's true that depending on your skin color that will distort the colors to some extent, and you're right at one time there were pretty limited options, but now a days there's a wide range of hues out there. http://99tattoodesigns.com/wp-conte.....owl-tattoo.jpg

I'm very confident in my tattoo artist skills and his ability to chose colours for this. It won't be one to one translation, but I think it can be done pretty well.

It's really going to hurt because of it's placement - a lot of it will go on the ribs, and everything tattooed on the bones burns as hell. But it doesn't have thick outlines, which was a real pain last time.

Lessee... PB and Grap frome HousePets!, Bonkers, Baron from the Cat Returns, Totoro, the Grim Squeaker from Discworld, Tardas from Dr. Who... Do I get a cookie?

One for every character, all of them right.

Yay!

Ah, the Death of Rats...not often you see him.

I was just about to say.


SQUEAK

SQUEAK

...SQUEAK?

What is he from? O.O

The Discworld series by Terry Pratchet.
I want to say his first appearance was "Reaper Man". Good read regardless.

Holy crap well done emulating all the different styles!

Little bit of everything there, isn't there?

hey Bonkers!! cool!

nice job with Peanut and Grape! I could have sworn this was by Rick when I saw it in my feed. Unfortunately, those are the only characters I recognize. Still, it all looks legit. hard to believe a single artist pegged so many styles at once!

Ref galore! \ o /

AMAZING job on this. So many great characters & you captured the artists styles so well!

Love it! Only one I don't recognize is the one in the bottom left.

Is that death of mice? X3

bootsy

The only four I recognize are Peanut, Grape (Housepets), Bonkers, and the TARDIS. I know the big guy in the center is supposed to be popular, but I can't place his name. ^^; Never even seen the other two before.

Ouch, you don't know "Totoro" from Studio Ghibli? *Hands you his DVD*

The centre is Totoro, from My Neighbour Totoro. Probably the most instantly recognised character from Studio Ghibli (He cameos in Toy Story 3, Bob's Burgers and is referenced throughout a South Park episode, just off the top of my head.

Bottom left corner is Terry Pratchett's Death of Rats from his book series Discworld. No reason you should recognise him unless you're a fan of the series, because he's mostly a written character, and there's only the odd picture of him floating about (mostly fan drawn).

Bottom right cat in suit I have no idea. Someone above says it's Baron from The Cat Returns. No idea if that's true.

It's awesome, can't wait to get it done. Thanks again!

I see Baron, Totoro, Death of Rats, Bonkerz, whatever that machine is from Dr. Who, and Peanut and Grape Sandwich.

The little Grim Reaper rat is the best thing in here.

I love Conker and Studio Ghebli ^^

Hah housepets
