This was a tattoo that I did for my friend Adrian that I have known for a very long time. He wanted to do something nice in regards to his father passing away. Hope you like =)

Cowboy Skull Tattoo_0911

This is a tattoo for a child hood friend of mine named Kyle. I am working on this piece and really putting in a lot of work and thought into the detailing of it. Really trying to stay focused on the light source on this one. I used references for the sketch but I didn't use any during the tattoo process. Let me know what you think and I will be posting updates here soon =)

Bouncy, Amphibious, Rain Dancer

The Chargabae are a very, very ancient relative of the frog family dating back to when the world was far beyond primitive from what we know to be throughout history. Chargabae use their powerful legs and round abdomen to project themselves and then bounce at their landing. Their tale is used for swimming, balance, and ability to better calculate gliding direction when soaring through the air. You can see evolution taking its place as the Chargabae is slowly developing small arms which later on result into arms that they can make precision and safe landings with.

Creature #227_Island Back

The Barottimus_Island Back Creature

The Barottimus is a very large and heavy creature that some claim is a rare existing dinosaur that survived extinction. Barottimus' are very rare and spend most of their days in deep hibernation. These creatures are so large that they can easily be over looked as a nothing more than a mountain scape or valley side. Barottimus's can live thousands of years and form entire forests and other environments on their backs while they lie dorment. Every few thousand years the Barttimus will awaken and look for another location to settle, thus carrying entire environments along with them on their backs.

Graffiti Alphabet_090111

Enjoy September 2011's Graffiti Alphabet, by yours truly; Legend0187 =)

Key things to remember when drawing graffiti letters:

1. It doesn't take much to make a line; so sketch lightly.
2. Draw through the letter when sketching lightly and see to it that the pieces match up evenly with one another.
3. Sketch loosely and then go back in and darken your line, sketching too dark in the beginning will result in unnecessary eraser work and a super sloppy page.
4. Take your time to pull the lines when darkening them.
5. You can ink your pencil sketch if desired and then erase out the pencil off the page once the ink has dried.
6. Practice makes PERFECT PRACTICE! These are just my ideas of burner style graffiti letters based on what I have taken in from the craft over the many years. Feel free to experiment and create your own style of lettering. What I have tried to provide here is a base. I will be updating this with a new letter sheet in the near future. It's good practice to draw the graffiti alphabet and try to keep the letters basic, not getting too crazy with so much style.
