Descisions Decisions....

I can't decide if I want to break my tattoo gun out or not.  I've got an awesome leg piece lined up, but I'm not sure I have the energy to finish it once I've started.  I'm not reay sure i have the time.  It's a fairly large and detaild piece and it's probablly going to take me a few hours to ink.  I figure that since I fell in love with art in general after finding my first ElfQuest graphic novel that as a tribute to the most awesome art of Wendy Pini, I will take a beautiful sketch of Nightfall, my favorite character, and turn it into a tattoo.  Here is the picture I am using...



I kept the stencil as identical to the original drawing as I could...now I must hope my tattooing skills are up for the challange.  I'm pretty confident that they are.  I've been drawing ElfQuest character, Nightfall and Skywise in particular, since I was 15.  No where near as perfect as Mrs. Pini's, but pretty good.  i'm planning on putting this one on the inside of my lower right leg.  Bout the only spot I have left that I can ink myself that's big enough.  It's going to be about 5x3 when it's done.  It took me forever to mix up the right shade of honey borwn for her hair, but again, here's hoping.  At least i won't have to color in her skin.  Wolfriders are fair skinned and my legs are pretty darn white. ;)
