Guidelines for Giving FeedbackPlease consider the following when giving feedback on a member's tattoo:
Line work: Does the artist seem to have grasped the technique of applying smooth, consistent lines? Do the lines flow with no shakes, skips or blow-outs?
Fill: Are all color and black areas a consistent color?
Shading: Does the tattoo show smooth gradients and transition effectively from light to dark?
Color Harmony: Does the tattoo have colors that compliment each other?
Placement/Size: Does the tattoo seem to be the right size for the area chosen? Is it centered and lined up with any other work? Does it go with the flow of the body?
Design: How well does the overall design work? Does it have sound composition? Does it feel well thought out?
Feedback: What areas could be improved?

 Relined the dog skeleton, the hat, the skull, the hands and parts of the sleeves. Added some opaque gray and two shades of blue. All of the gray and blue I struggled with, but learned a whole lot by the end. Used a 9mag and a 5rs. 5rs worked beautifully for shading in those tight spots, and especially when relining. Chikken's massage table tip and Mario's artist at his shop's suggestion of how to get a GOOD biker stretch worked out really well for the relining. I'll be taking another stab at the chef's coat with a some reds, oranges, greens, and darker gray, and a lighter blue to finish it off. Man, I can't stand looking at the pots and trees, and can't wait to get back in there to polish them up. -------------------- |

Thanks Nerd. ALOT of black fell out of the trees and pots and it's bugging the shit out of me, but I knew it was gonna happen when I struggled with stretch the first time around. I can't mention enough how grateful I am to Chikken for suggesting for me to lay him down to get a better stretch. It's helped so much and I owe her one. I'll get all that fucked up holiday shit. I promise. As far as the color, I'm hoping the greens and oranges that I'll throw in as highlights will contrast with the blueish gray and tie in well. I'm very confident it will, as it seems to work on paper, but we'll wait and see... -------------------- |

I think I agree with Nerd about the colours actually. Too much yellow or orange in the clothes could ruin the overall balance, but a little bit just on the lower part near the flames would probably be logical and more correct. I'm sure if you stood that close to flames in those clothes, there would be at least a hint of warm colours reflecting in them.
Oh I've just looked at the original artwork... looks like you've probably got it under control. Obviously. Duh lol

looks like you encountered one of those people with tough/hard to get ink into skin.. is he a red head? ive been working on a guys back now on and off for over a year and solid black comes out grey , red comes out pink.. not only that, but the top of the arm is an awkward mofo to get to especially round the back of it. its coming together nicely , im sure the colours will blow everyone away.

He's a big guy to begin with, but on top of that, I just found out he actually has lost a good amount of weight as well. His skin takes ink like a dream when it's stretched properly. The problem was I just couldn't get a fucking grip on his arm. It was just too mushy and squooshy while he was sitting up. Laying him down and using the table to help stretch was the key for me, and it's working out well now. Thanks Noz.

 9mag, 5rs. Relined the green smoke, liquid, pots and logs. The green smoke is better for sure, but not great. He kept fucking flinching. Fucker. I'm hoping it will heal smoother, and the background will tie it together, and mask the imperfections. Yellow in the skulls and bones has got some blood in it, so hopefully it will pop later. Same as the brown. Right now the reddish brown is masking the red and orange reflective highlights. I still need to address the patchy holidays in the black trees and pots. I gotta get back into the coat, hit the back ground, reline the flames, and then touch up, so I'm thinking like three to four more sessions depending on how the purple and blue background fill goes. It's coming along. A lot still bugs me, and I didn't want to stop, but after four hours, Paul had enough. -------------------- |

Without that, I would never have been able to save the lines. Without the solid lines, I would have lost a lot of sleep over my decision to take this on.

I'm gonna see what I can do with the coat when I go back in next time. -------------------- |
