[Barren]

[Wonderland]

WOW! awesome for sure!

[evlink2006]

Nice stuff.

[CajunDave]

thanks! i have about 100 of these drawn up and 20ish ones in color in some portfolios . i show my customers but none ever want to get this stuff tattoo'd . they rather the browning logo or a metal mulisha skull ;( makes me sad

[johndameart]

amen to that man...amen to that....kinda made me stop drawing as much...let alone care to... :'(

[Barren]

mate its there loss, if it helps you have made me want to put pencil to paper again :)

[jonpiper]

nice work! love the skulls!

[Cabal Tattoo]

Yep buddy, but don't stop drawing man, this stuff is awesome. How long does it take you to draw one of these...?

[CajunDave]

i usually take photos or find some good photos and build the piece up in photoshop. helps get all the placement of the elements right the first time . then i desaturate the image(turn it black and grey) i created and freehand draw it on paper, adding my own touch and flair to it. process is about 3 hours a piece for a full page. the color stuff i do with prismacolors/oil paints takes alot longer.

[Sage Oz]

Nice stuff as always!

[CajunDave]

thanks guys!

LOVE the skull and roses. Skull is cool. Kinda meh on the other one but thats more of a taste thing. Nice stuff

[casey]

Beautifully crafted Dave:) Can almost touch the first skull

[CajunDave]

thanks casey! Nivek what dont you like about the statue/roses? just not into the imagery or do u actually see a design flaw that makes it "meh" . always open to design and layout critisism.

Phenomenal!

I'm not really sure to be honest. It's just something... maybe the chin is a bit fat, but it's really its well done, it just doesn't do it for me the same way the others do

[CajunDave]

oh ok cool. the chin is definatly fat the reference was one of those old roman/greek type statues from back in the day where all the women seemed chubby :) definatly intentional
