Leopard Tribal Band

3 messages · last activity 12/13/2005

Hello everyone. After a few years of waiting it out, taking the time to research tattoo shops/artists, and making sure that I really want this particular design, I have decided to visit Anubis Warpus and have them ink me up with a leopard print tribal band. Im designing the tatto and have measured how thick I want the band to be (2 inches). Now Im ready to put the idea into a drawing. Would anyone be able to provide tips on the digital design process? Since thsi is going on m y skin I would love to hear any ideas you might have. Thank you
Umm ok well the easiest way is to pick up the cherry creek flash sheet with the animal print tribals. the other way is a little harder, Draw the outline, scan it into your computer, In photoshop or corel or some art program open the file, Select the center of the tribal and use the flood fill to fil it with leopard print, save print and take with you to the artist, its that easy. Ohh and then there is the other other way take your outline to the artist and tell them you want leopard print inside, if he or she is even decent at the trade it should be fairly easy for them to finish off for you
Well I designed it as I was typing the initial post last night. Here is what I have so far. http://www.ladyleopardess.com/ljstuff/tattoodesign.jpg This is the current design. I doubt that they will have a brown for the inner part of the spot. Maybe they will have a darker brown than what is shown here. I hope because jaguars and leopards only have different markings because the leopard has that brown inside the spot and the jaguars do not. http://www.ladyleopardess.com/ljstuff/modelphotowtattoo.jpg This is sort of a visualization of what it would look on me. I basicaly superimposed the design on one of my modeling shots to get an idea of what it will look like. Hmm Kat
