In Bad Dreams II: On Midnight's Wings

MDC-OSF

So, here is the final product of the rework of MDC's original design. Again, this was a challenge to other willing artists to recreate thier own version of his original concept.

This was my very, very FIRST stab a using watercolor... so, hopefully I didn't fuck it all up too bad!!

Please, those of you who haven't seen MDC's orignal, or any of his works for that matter, CHECK IT OUT:

I'm well into it bro and thanks for the props!

With the watercolours the trick is to use waterproof india ink to do your grey wash and blacks, this way your colours come in a little brighter without soaking into the greys. I tell you what though man this is way way better than my last attempt at a real watercolour , my 1st looked like dog sh1t... ;)

Wow. Awesome tattoo design : ).
Good use of water colours.

Ya know, it's funny... I thought the same exact thing (using india ink) when starting the color on this.

I litterally thought to myself - "Now, there's no way in hell I could get the same depths of black and grey out of this watercolor paint as I could out of diluted washes of pen india..."

I'm very appreciative that you offered up the same advice that was nagging at me from the depths of my skull - thank you!!

You two have been collabing for so long now, I thought I'd join in on a little of that action!!

I feel bad this year is almost half way over and I haven't even had a chance to work on my version yet. I just wish there were more hours in a day!
