Calling Beyond artists! Help me design a tattoo!

[spikerS]

I am looking for a hand in creating a tattoo, mainly because my art skills really suck.

I need a tattoo for my eldest daughter, something that symbolizes her spirit and personality, and I have come up with a general concept, I just need it sketched up.

If you are willing to do a sketch, keep reading!

The idea is as follows:

I would like a podium, but shown from behind, like from the point of view of the speaker, not the audience. On the podium, I would like a large book, open to roughly the middle with a passage written inside, as well as her name and birth year. Also on the podium, an inkwell and quill, all with the background of a slightly cloudy day but still blue sky.

anyone up for the challenge? Just need a sketch, or even done in PS or whatever your preferred program is.

If we want to make this into a contest, I think I have some home made wine, or maybe a couple hours of handyman services?

Thanks guys!

Done.

Hope you don't mind, I took some artistic liberty and included a spider. I'll take a few hours of drywall mudding/taping. Thanks.

If your artist cannot take your words and put it into a tattoo then it isn't an artist you should let touch you. I real artist should design it. They know how the ink goes into your skin. They know how the lines will take on certain body parts.

Go talk to the artist...

The spider is the best part. I wish I could draw well. Unfortunately I can't, so I have linked a photo of a cake to go with the podium. Devin sounds like a cool name.

If you're serious, I can draw this up for you. Im doing a drawing of a tattoo for my best friend, involving one of her dogs. This wouldn't be hard for me.

I am not THAT serious about it. I mean, I am only going to be tattooing it permanently on my body...

It will be going on my left calf, and basically, everything below the knee to the ankle is available realestate...

^ Hmm, K, I'll get on this when Im done the tattoo for my chick friend. Its pretty intense, and she wants a fuck ton of detail, so give me a bit. Ill message you on FB with it when Im done it.
Dont worry about payment for now, I probably wont want any.

Agreed. 100%

However, I am still in the early stages, and I am a very visual person. I have this idea in my head, and in talking it over with Baygirl, more and more of it came together to the point I lost how it would look in my head. Hence my plea.

This works because blue and red are her favorite colors!

It's funny, but I'm in the process of doing the same thing.. I have an initial photochop I did, but am looking to get it made into something more organic. If you're willing, I'd like to commission you as well.
