I need someone to design me a tat

[Rai]

Well more accurately its for a friend of mine. He's dealt with a lot of serious issues from his childhood for his whole life and he's only recently started the process of solving them. With the weight of the events off his back he wants a tattoo to signify the whole affair for him, to tell the story through metaphor, so that people would only know what it was about if he explained it, and so he will always have the subtext of what the story meant to him marked into his flesh, as a permanent reminder. Whether or not there's some amateur artists on here who'd want to take a shot at drawing up some sketches of how they would portray the images in question, I cant be sure, but I figure theres enough shallow post and re-post of second hand memes and lame chats about junior high school romance issues on here, might as well be a relatively unique kind of topic.

If there's no one interested, but someone knows of an amateur art forum or some such site could they link me to that instead, or as well come to think of it, the more designs I get through the more I can show to him, the more likely he is to see one that he feels sums it up. Oh and it doesn't really matter about your animation or design style, long as it isn't really childish (since its symbolizing some fairly important and adult issues) or furry (because he isn't a furry, so unless its really great work I doubt he'd be interested :T)

If anyone is interested just reply saying you want me to post the details of what the designs need to be, and how they need to interact, and I'll post em.

TL:DR - I need someone to draw a pic to be made into a tattoo for a friend of mine.

it would probably be safer to ask in the art forum

Ever thought about a tribal design or Danney Carrey art?

Yeah I considered that, but I felt this needs the random touch that a lot of people in general chat have. I dont really want it to be too generic really, he's a pretty odd guy in himself.

Let me give you a tip of advice, what you're asking for is professional work. You will not find that in the General forum of the BBS, while I can draw professional tattoo's I don't think I have the capability to design something as complex as your friend wants. This tattoo sounds too important and easy to fuck up so I refuse to do it.

Go ask a professional to design it.

(also i'm too busy designing tats atm to spare time lol)

well first off he doesnt want to pay for a professional design, and also he wants a large amount of amatuer concepts to pick from, not just 1 polished design from 1 person. He wants to filter the image through someone else, see what they make of it and then go with the best one....and in order to get a good enough array it'd have to be amateur work. It doesnt have to be a spectacular piece of art, just servicable and unique.

bleh, since people appear to be against the idea totally, could you guys post me some links to any good forums or professionals you might know are good (ideally we'd want a good word of mouth reference, instead of just googling someone.)

Should get a tat of an unclosed Enso and just say it relates to his endless struggle that has yet to finish, hense the incomplete circle.
