Artist's Comments

OK so this is my preliminary sketch for my tattoo that I am going to get! I really would appreciate your feedback on a few things....

So the lower sketch is actually the original sketch. I showed it to some tattoo artists and they were all "lose the flowers! It's apples and oranges!" but I really want to use flowers as a motif to tie my tattoos together... plus, I thought they made it more unique!! So what are your thoughts?

So the upper sketch is actually the second sketch! I think the lines are a bit more solid, the shapes are more sound, and the detail level is more realistic (think I should simplify further?) but the flow isn't as good so I will do a 3rd drawing.

What do you guys think? Feedback highly appreciated!!

Yeah I will definately keep the cleanliness and simpleness. I was wondering if I should simplify it further... or if it's alright like that?

Very nice, if you really want a flower, you can have the jellyfish "body" a sort of flowery pattern. Or a flowery way of coloring it.


Nice idea though, I was pretty curious after the journal.

Ohh haha no this is my first tattoo :)! But I plan on getting a few more probably haha!
:iconkitton:
Yeah that's sort of a good idea... I was just thinking flowers because, like I said, I thought it would be more uique. Plus, I thought it would be a good motif if all of my tatoo's had some kind of flower in them.... I dunno if that's overkill but whatever!
:icondrowgan:
If you want to simplify it further, you can remove that third section of frill or the bubbles, possibly remove 1 tentacle.


Though I do really like em as they are.

Ohhh I see, see I am trying to figure out how to add more to mine: [link] I am considering wrapping more designs around it and turning it into like an " Ankle bracelet " kinda design. I ADORE the Jellyfish tho, I would get it.... only to shock the hell outta my Best friend who HATES Jellyfish! :XD:

Are you doing it in color or B&W?

Just remember details over time since our skin is elastic like anything close together in the future may be touching.. if you want to add major details to it be sure to make it bigger. Where is this going exactly?

Wow, what cool designs! I personally agree with the tattoo artists; the jellyfish and flowers in that particular instance looks strange together. Perhaps you could integrate them better?
However, I love the drawings; they both look great. :D

I believe in Jesus Christ as my Savior. If you do too and aren't scared to admit it, then copy and paste this in your signature.
