Yaaaay... I'd always meant to do another part, the "Raven," to the original "Dove." Now I've finally done it!! For the whole contrasts thing, I opposed olive branches and rose thorns, peace and uh... angst. Or something.
I inked two separate full linearts of both and squished them together in Photoshop. For some reason the guy's half doesn't seem to flow as well as the other... It's spiky and chunky. Maybe I'll put another circle in the background so it fills in the space made by the triangle-ness. And I should color or something so the guy doesn't look like he has a BOOB. O.o
i'm just picturing what a phenomenal tattoo this would make across one's back. Could you imagine how long that would take... a wonderful tale of two lovers. the detail blows my mind... i must say!
Wow! That would be really fascinating to see, lol. And "lovers" was exactly what I was thinking when I planned this! All the romance, the treachery...! I'd wanted to squish them closer together so it seemed like the girl was hissing something awful into the guy's ear, haha. "Yes! I slept with Mr. Peacock! Engorged cloacas and everything!"
