I’m not all about adding text though. You dont need it to know what its about, and screw everyone else, they dont need to know the reference. I just think it would look sick with a realist clouds and the moon fiantly shining through.

My shin actually was the least painful spot. perhaps its the years of shin splints and endurance sports. My legs are used to abuse.

Personally, anything near a tendon hurts really bad. Anywhere else, bones or not, doesn’t hurt.
