If anyone that is artistically gifted has some free time (and i know a ton of you are that gifted here on TL =D ) i would appreciate some input on this drawing....it's GOING to be a tattoo for one of my good friends but most of the tattoo artists in the area have SUCKED in reproducing exactly what she wants on her for the rest of time (lol).
i would really appreciate some badass artistry on this one as i've run dry elsewhere lol, and it's her drawing not mine in the pic so don't judge! If i drew that it would look more like lines and vague representations of letters...as my artistic ability ends where strings meet fretboards O.o
thanks in advance to anyone who has input...i'll post the end product if it ends up happening
EDIT: I WILL TIP anyone that makes a design that my friend deems badass enough to put on her body, paypal, check whatever is easiest

::hahaha never mind this part::
Should probably put this in a blog post.
|
T_T that's why i didn't i want more ppl to see it...i barely ever look at the blogs
|
How in the blue hell can no tattoo artist reproduce that well?
It's just a star with letters around it.
|
i live in a town with 9000 people in it....i don't have a shitton of options yo, and i'm not driving 3 hours to Boston for one tiny tattoo
|
Austin10833 Posts
Yeah, but that doesn't make any sense. It's the simplest design there is, no tattoo parlor would still be in business if they couldn't draw stars and letters.
|
eh...
that's not what she's looking for tho...i WAS looking for an artistic interpretation of it....but if this is all i'm going to get i'll ask a mod to close it, i have 6 tattoos myself, i know what i want to get where i want to get it, if i was looking for myself it would be far more intricate...i was just looking for another source since no one can recreate anything near what she wants
you posting here isn't helping my cause...just wasting both our time
|

Well "artistic interpretation" is so vague, especially when the base elements appear so staid.
If you gave us a jumping off point, it would be a lot more reasonable.

I mean come on, you can't just make a topic with like, "hey guys make this boring tattoo cool"

anyway, here you go OP, I'm sure she'll love it.
|
there's not much you can do with that O_O i used to work for a tattoo shop so... yeah lol
|
an artistic interpretation of a star and five letters? really?
|
jumping off point....i thought i did....i'm trying to be vague on purpose....i'm not the one who's going to get this on my body...again if i was the one getting it i would specify exactly how i wanted it to look, i was hoping for someone to draw it up quickly, as it's not a very complicated picture, and post a pic if they have free time.
artistic interpretation is very important to me as a recipient of tattoo's, every artist that's worked on me has either made a suggestion or done something that i wouldn't have thought of myself and i'm grateful for it as my tattoos look that much better...was kind of shooting for the same thing here....
i didn't ask for critique on how simple the design is or why tattoo artists in my area can't draw it out the way she likes...
|
Austin10833 Posts
How would us giving you an "interpretation" be anymore helpful if we don't know her or what she likes? It would just be throwing darts in the dark.
|
yes really...well i DID have faith that SOMEONE on TL wouldn't troll this...but i guess that's beyond reach and you guys have nothing other to do than to fuck around with something that someone else find important, congrats

Don't pull the little martyr routine, I was trying to help you turn your ridiculous request into something workable. If you'd rather just complain and get defensive, that's on you.

yes ridiculous...you're right...shoulda shut my mouth and not asked outside sources about something that's going to be permanently on someone's body for the rest of their life...woulda been better to get hammered and just have that simple ol' thing plastered on there...forgive me
|
Austin10833 Posts
Now you're arguing against something I never even suggested lol. What you should've done (and can still do, by the way) is make a request that a reasonable person will be able to help you with. "interpret this star with the word dream around it" is like some kind of bizarre 5th grade art project. Why not tell us what she didn't like about all the designs she's already seen, or what specifically she doesn't like about that simple design.

You might want to make the triangles of the star less long and more blocky. Also adding a 3rd dimension might be cool, google perspective if u wanna draw the star and the letters with the illusion of space. I personally like tattoos a lot more when they aren't just 2d images. I would do this for you on photoshop but it's 1 am and I'm tired.

whatever...tear the OP to shreds that's fine, what i asked for is what i want....not someone who wants to make the OP better...deal with it...spam the thread with more of your stupid pics that's fine...you're not helping, you're just trolling

@ sharper...her drawing not mine...sent in a text of the basic design she wants...she needs someone to take it far and beyond that, i would love some someone to bang out something sick in photoshop lol, doesn't need to be filled in either...a nautical star would be badass as well

Dude, he's trying to help so that someone can actually give a constructive answer. You've made your request so vague that its just impossible for someone to help.

I'm really just trying to help you out here. That picture was a joke, the joke being that it fits into your vague criteria of "artistic interpretation". Anyways, if you feel like you're being attacked or you don't want my help, I'll leave you to your own devices, good luck.
|
your help isn't needed as you obviously have no artistic value and a poor sense of humor
thank you

I just have to jump in here and say that brood was just trying to help you and you've done nothing but be an ass to him. your op is really unclear: you say that tattoo artists in your town are having trouble reproducing what your friend wants (in that drawing?) so you want TL to help you make the tattoo more artistic? it doesn't make any sense, and on top of that, the request itself is too vague anyway as people have been saying.

how vague is a star with DREAM around it? make it look good? it's not my damn tat lol
if you want to hear what i want, i want a tattoo of a guitar that's essentially tribal in design but to still hold the basics of a guitar...the neck, the strings, the body, the bridge, the tuning keys, every detail that a guitar contains in a tribal design but so that it flows correctly and doesn't look like i've got pikachu lightning bolts all over my arm...
the idea of the thread was to get different people interpretations on how to make that look like an awesome tattoo... i know what i want MYSELF but i wanted to give her a variety of different peoples perspective on what would look good and how to make it look that way
i'm obviously not achieving that at this point

Oh man this is badass. Way cooler than the pic in the OP. I think we have a winner

SickTight, try to be reasonable. Maybe tell ppl what type of girl she is? The above picture would probably appeal to a hardcore person into death metal and body piercings, and who's dream it is to drink the blood of her enemies, but not to a girly girl who's idea of a dream is getting her own little dog to buy outfits for. Do you really have NO other information about what type of designs your friend might like? What are her dreams? What is the purpose behind the tattoo? What music does she like? How does she dress? Etc, etc. These things form the basis for inspiration of the artist. Right now, there's basically nothing to be inspired by, and how can an artist get excited enough to want to help with something when they have no basis to go on?
Seriously, these are the things, along with a little humility and gratitude for taking ppls' time, that would have made this thread a success. I guess you could still apologize and you might get what you are asking for, but things look grim for you at the moment.

I don't classify people into groups for one...she's....normal? I'm not sure what you're asking, i don't judge anyone or throw them into groups like emo or ghetto...people are people to me...if you want to critique the way i posted anything then don't post it here...that's not what i asked for...

You got really mad really fast man

SickTighT, I am an artist and I don't even know what I would do with that plain star and text, lol. Like everyone is saying, to vague description to even reproduce something that she will probably not even like. You need to post at least what she's into, example: Stars(of course), butterflies, tornado's. You get me? Doesn't really need to be, "Oh, shes 5'4 and has a 46D." Just little facts that she might like added into the star or with the star.
|
i won't get mad anymore if you get that tat on your nipples as well
pics or it didn't happen O.o
|
uhg 
i've lost faith in TL artists if there's nothing that can be done with that...i'll post on other forums and get my friends from art school to do something and teach TL a lesson...i had more faith in TL than anything else...

They're going to give you some bogus stuff that they like. Not what the girl likes. You're just not paying attention. Lol, all I am saying is give more info about what the girl likes.
|
that's about the sickest star tat i've ever seen...so if ppl are asking for direction toss the moon behind it or around it
|
And you want the word dream in it right?
|
likes...stars and her daughter...trapt, breaking benjamin, boom boom, good whiskey lol...i mean i understand WHY you want to know what she likes because you THINK it'll help with figuring out a tattoo but i have tattoo's that people wouldn't place on me because of what i like and dislike :\
eh i might be talking to the wrong crowd about this....i just wanted some to take that pic and make it into something people would look at and go "oh shit, that's sick"
|
|
|
that sir is badass...and exactly what i was looking for...not a debate on how i presented my situation
and since people want direction....take THAT image and throw a flowing banner around it with the letters in each 'nook' lol

lol whats wrong with u people are trying to help u and are simply asking you more questions about it so maybe they can easier interpret something, but all you do is whine about how we're "ripping the OP to shreds" -_- dude lol
go ask ur uber cool art school friends then sheesh
|
already did, but surprisingly the first person to actually give me anything has less than 30 posts
|
I'm an artist...
but I just play the guitar...
sorry!
|
lol me too
perhaps i should've put in the OP that i'm a good tipper?
would've weeded out the non-artists quickly
|
I will do this tomorrow when I am sober lol.

you never tried to help you artistically worthless human. why can't you read people's minds yet? god you'll probably use the fact that they don't think as an excuse. disappointing, Brood.
---------------------
OP, your friend is such a shirt artist that it's just that none of us know wtf she's trying to convey. is that a compass? you can make it this:
it's not that people can't interpret it, it's just that they want to know wtf it means so they know which parts to play around with, and which elements have to remain static.

T_T oxy
i knew you back in the days dude...THE DAYS...TANL!!!! ...YOU ABANDON ME NOW?
|
|
|
nono my point is obviously being overlooked and over thought
simple design --> badass tattoo
nothing more, nothing less
EDIT: in retrospect the bolded should've been the thread title and the main body...would've saved 3 pages of babble
EDIT2: look at the OP again...if someone gives me a design she decides she wants on her I WILL GIVE A GRATUITY i know that's a weak promise from an online forum, but i dare anyone to prove me wrong =D
|
I'm gonna give it a shot. Will probably have a draft going by the end of the day. (12 PM here) 
|
why are the low posters actually doing something for me and the high posters mocking me? seems the reverse from most thread i've ever seen
sry fanatacist is doing something when he's sober lol but he's been the only +1000 poster to actually even attempt something other than tear my posts apart...i'm not asking for a solution for world goddamn world hunger here
|
Uhh fine I'll try to design something tomorrow just stop whining.
Kinda weird to just make an OP and expect everybody to be all over your problems helping you, especially when it's exam/assignment due date time for all people in college, which is a big part of TL.

I'm passed college so forgive me for forgetting the time of year it is...but i'm not expecting people to jump on MY problem...as i said in the OP...free time...i don't appreciate things i'm not asking for...and honestly i'm surprised who i got it from ...i had expected it to be completely the opposite...and i don't expect anyone else to jump on other people's issues hence the whole "free time" statement...i just figured i'd get a more mature response from TL regulars, yourself not included
i wouldn't offer to pay anyone if i was whining...i appreciate the time anyone spends on my issues so that's the only think i can offer anyone via the internet :\
hardly a promise in this world, but i swear that i will if someone gives me a design that she uses

shoulda made the post
MAKE THIS LOOK SICK I'LL PAY YOU MONEY
