Shawl & Back
Continuation of sleeves down my back/shoulders (illustrative/realistic color).
Detailed B/W botanical/foliage broad triangle shawl with the color sleeves part spilling over it down my back in a loose botanical cascade V-shape.
Sleeves to appear to reach toward/connect to the V-shape.
No roses, no sunflowers
Below is my attempt to show a color work "V" in front of a broader B/W triangle.





Also, I forgot about my angsty teen kanji tattoo. It's on my right lower back. For later consideration: covering it up with a low back tattoo that continues over my hips.
Phase 1
1st phase: B/W (ok if you prefer a color element coming over the shoulder in addition to the:) fern or leaves or foliage extending from sleeve up posterior neck. My brain needs my sleeves to be connected-ish or reaching towards the shawl somehow.
I'd like the shadow floral edges of the sleeves to appear to be morphing into (or reaching towards) a shawl that extends up the posterior neck. B/W background/main image with a few color parts?
Also, we're at the part where I'm running out of ideas but generally just want it to look like the same full body tattoo (or a tattoo cousin) err'where. Negative space strips or elements still important to me; they're my mourning bands.
No roses, no sunflowers
Phase 2
Continuation of sleeves down my back/shoulders (illustrative/realistic color).
Detailed B/W botanical/foliage broad triangle shawl with the color sleeves part spilling over it down my back in a loose botanical cascade V-shape. Sleeves to appear to reach toward/connect to the shawl. No roses, no sunflowers
Lower Leg Sleeves
Lower leg sleeves; fine with end around the ankle or curling above the knee however you see fit. Full coverage if possible. Want it to look consistent with the rest of your work; negative space the same width as on the sleeves, but SPLITTING the main image like in the first picture.
Delicate B/W background behind color work for full coverage effect.
Might want to jump between this and starting the shawl/back with the fern/foliage coming from the posterior sleeves.
Random Interlude / Side Quest
I ran across this first image of a collar bone placement and now it's stuck in my brain and I don't know what to do with it. I currently (LOLZ) don't want a chest piece, but maybe delicate fern-y vine-y wrap around the collar bone extending from my sleeves? Is this even possible if you don't have pronounced clavicles?
2023, Project #2
Left arm half sleeve - full coverage (no skin left), full color, can extend beyond shoulder or elbow.
I'd like all pieces to be cohesive / similar / echo each other.
Please must include:
-
More hyper-realistic ferns
-
A couple more burgundy/burnt orange cannas
-
Bougainvillea (not a fan of pink, work your color genius)
-
Negative space to echo my other sleeve, but a different shape: the ribbon swirl below.
-
UPDATED: May I please have some realistic blueberries in there? My dad uses them in his cereal since before dinosaurs and we constantly argue over them.
-
Hosta leaves - many towards the bottom for background inspiration
-
No turquoise or neon-ish colors, no roses, no sunflowers
