Fourth Sitting….. All linework for adjoining pieces of shoulder and underarm (that hurt!), bio-mech on shoulderblade, and small piece on bicep, along with bloodlines for bicep muscle.

I know most of it is just lines, and shading & tone will create a lot of the image.

Inner Arm View

Rear/Back View …..Excuse the fatty the arm is attached too!!!:o

12hrs Completed so far, back in two weeks to continue!

Any criticism, appreciation, views, appreciated….

This is an awesome piece mate!
I don’t like some of the skulls in the biomech part tho, some just look weird.
The koi thingy is cool as hell! I didn’t believe I’ll ever see an original koi design, and here I am.
An original piece combining few different styles, so I guess it’s 10/10 for the creativity.
Overall looks wicked and sick! Which is awesome, keep us updated on this awesome piece!

The arm looks great so far and kudos for an original koi idea! to me, it lacks so cohesion as an entire piece but hopefully it will pull together as you finish

Thanks mate, I agree, 1 or 2 of the skulls look a tad cartoon like, rather than a bonefide skull, but, hopefully we’re the only ones who notice them lol!!!:o

Aye, it does look like a bunch of lines at the minute, and I tried to keep the ‘ skull theme’ running throughout the whole sleeve….Elbow is yet to be a decided area.

Thanks Mate, I’m pretty chuffed with it so far, and cannot wait for the anatomy pieces to be done, theres only two bits, forearm to elbow, and bicep portion.

Next sitting is on the 21st June, and then every Wednesday for 3 weeks, hopefully, should be done.

That has to be one of THE most unique and original pieces I’ve ever seen. I’m not skull fan, nor actually a fan of any of the motifs in that sleeve, but it’s fucking awesome none the less!

Looking forward to seeing new pics every thursday for 4 weeks ๐Ÿ˜‰

Thanks!

I did try and avoid the ‘normal’ routes of sleeve inspiration so to speak…..

I knew that I had to keep a theme running throughout the sleeve….

Will be back with updates every Thursday:D

Just back from my latest sitting,….

Apart from the bloodlines, which were done a few weeks, all the rest is freehand.

It’s getting a good job. If you like the reason, it is perfect.
