THIS IS OLD. Like circa 2008 old. But it's a flash (tattoo design art for those not versed in the vernacular) page of wolf designs I did back in college. I'm never gonna use 'em, so I figured I'd post them here. If anyone wants any of my old art on them forever (seek therapy first, please), you more than have my permission.
Done with PRANG colored pencils on sketchbook paper.

Hee! I looked at that and thought, "Wow, that she's gone back to revisit her style from —" And sure enough. :)
You know, it'd be pretty awesome to see a piece in this rounded stylistic form, but with your modern skill with pencils (which, to be sure, was already quite something back in the day). Not that the yappings of a comment-cur should bear much weight in the face of artistic inspiration, but... just sayin'. :)

Wow, these are awesome! I wouldn't have guessed it's old art, honestly; clearly, you have since improved and transformed your skills, but I just thought you were trying on a different style, and doing a great job of it, at that! You can't (okay, shouldn't) just choose any old piece of art and say, "Hey! I want this tattooed!" Not everything is going to age well or even look good on skin to begin with, even if it's an excellent piece of art. The format of each of these designs is great, and for the most part the level of detail is appropriate for tattoos. *drools* I especially love the one of the two wolves with the mountains. I saw... draw more tattoo flash!!!
Not that I am an inker, but I think a lot of this has the stylistic elements to be really successful, beautiful flash if executed as strictly line art - the arrow wolf, the celtic moon wolf and the "Imma eatcha" wolves at top in particular. They have clean edges, wouldn't have to depend heavily on shading, flow well, have opportunities for line weight to be played with and generally look like they would fit well in lots of the places people tend to get pieces like this.
