Spartaaaaaaaa!!!

For this tattoo I use 2 reference pictures , one from my costumer the digital image below and the other one I find in Internet , the image with Gerald Butler from the 300 moovie . I draw the warrior using the position and the background from the first picture and the anatomy details from the second one. For the balance I decide to use the shield that Achilles (Brad Pitt ) have it in Troy .
The water I choose becose my costumer want a blue background , but I think blue is not enough dramatic for this picture , but for the picture's ground I find it perfect for the color balance and for the dinamic efect.
I use AllaPrima Ink and for the body Ethernal ink , all the collors was mixed by me .
I will add below the references , my drawing and the final result.
Thankyou for visit my blog !

This is a funny story :D
I was guest artist in Berlin at Tiki Tatau studio , verry cool place and wonderful people.
One of the artists , Crazzy , ask me for an interesting tattoo , something on the hand that when he hold the heat and cover the face must loock like a mask. We decide to do a half skull on the nand on the way that when he cover the mouth with the hand the face supose to look like wering a skull mask.
We decide to present this tattoo at Berlin Tattoo Convention becose this year I was sponsored by Cheyenne Hawk so I have the booth on the row with great artists like Moni Marino and Tommy Lee , becose this I try to bring every day something cool , diferend and original.
Below are the pictures with the making of and the Picture done by Tattoo Soul who was the Facebook feever for almost one week .

Half angel/half devil , how I make it

One costumer come with this request : he want one man half good , half bad betwen 2 wings that I inked 8 years before.
The place betwen wings was enough for a body size to respect the proportion.
First I loock for a naked male who not loock totaly gay . Hard to find with Google. Finaly I find something I like it , a picture with the new Conan , but with face cover by hair and the legs cover by something.
So , using the lightbox I take the body shape and I start buiding my picture.
I add a face in the same head position , half human , half skull with a goat horn , this was in my opinion the most evil thing I can do in a 3 cm high head. After this I draw the legs and I cover the sex with some material and I add an goat fit .
In the pictures below you can see the making of from the original picture , to drawing , stencil and finaly the tattoo.
I use Cheyenne hawk machine and only pure black AllaPrima Ink.
