The 15-year tattoo, part 2

10:07 PM

Finished the first major piece, and got one of the 3 features added.

(PLEASE forgive the wifebeater tank top there, that's what he asked me to wear)

Next phase is next week, where I get the other 2 features added, along with the background work. It SHOULD be done next week. We'll see how far we get.

Also, this is more based on the comics than the anime, and this pattern (in the glass) appears in multiple places - in the cathedral at Lady Myoko's temple, in the carving in Akira's throne (if you've never read the comic... Yes, Akira is a real kid, not just organs saved in glass jars), and other places. It's a motif in the story that repeats itself... Fracturing, splintering, all from a single source (hence the "spiral outward" or spiderweb shape of the splintering).

There's more coming, and I'll explain it as the pics go up :); 5/24/2008 9:50 AM
