I have finally finished my latest commissioned tattoo design and got the green light to share from the owner. This was interesting in many ways. The owner wanted the pocket watch to represent the the date including year, night time indicator and the time of course. Per their request the name is not posted here. The image would be turned horizontally for an outer forearm tattoo on the right arm with pocket watch being at the wrist and the name running from the sunflower to the pocket watch at the bottom.
The blending of nature and mechanical was a small challenge. I decided to let the links of the chain be the transition point. Because I wanted there to be a level of realism, each link had to be created individually so the shading would come out right. I wound up using the IPad Pro for part and Manga Studio for the rest.
