So, despite the horrific pasty white skin (sorry!) I'm WAY too excited to keep this to myself...
WIP of my new ink!!! As I have Syrax on my forearm it only makes sense to have Shade somewhere too - thusly; an ode to his wereform and Raven. The black work is all done - in this shot here you can see the lines are in and Sin's started in on shading. There was about another 3-4 hours' work put in after this photo was taken. It's healing well now and I'm going back in a couple weeks to have the colour added and will prob need a third session in the New Year for the background which will be in the form of shadowy smokey stuff extending above and below the design here.

My original design, obviously, but my artist is frikkin' amazing and managed to capture my obsessive detailing soooo well! If you've been following my art for a while you'll have seen eyeballs and swirly ink stuff popping up time and again - that was me finding my way through to this final design. But I like those themes so probably won't stop with them.

So yeah, props go to the incredible Sin at V1 Ink for the effort here. All I did was lay on the table, steal his snack bar and complain when my arm went dead after leaning on it all day.
