I've been wondering for a while what should go on the rest of my right arm. That's the one with the seahorse skeleton. Inspired by the one hanging near Alan's store, I decided to go for a big ol' squid, and entropic_system said he would draw it for me!

This as it is is super cool, but to get it to cover the amount of skin it needs to cover, there are going to be some minor changes. My plan is to have the body cover one side of my forearm, so probably what's going to happen is to make the smaller tentacles a lot more exaggerated and twisty to cover my upper arm. Think 10,000 Leagues Under the Sea stuff all clutching a ship, only no ship.

I definitely like the direction this is going. Thanks, Mike!

That is so cool! It would also look great on a leg.

What if you actually spiraled the clubs (long arms) down your arm? Actually have them wrap around your arm in a helix?

If my arm was in the center of the helix, I think it might be weird. If they spiraled together and then around, it might be awesome. But it's also hard to say while picturing it in my mind, knowmsayn?

hahahaa - I know exactly what you're saying: I was having a similar problem sketching this while keeping in mind it would be wrapped around an arm. :D

fuckin-A where A is for AWESOME! Nice work, Mike. Christopher, I do think you should have it wrap around. The "clutching the forearm" idea is perfect. Should get one on your wee wee too. AT THE SAME TIME!

that is awesome.

Also, does not look like a penis.



Are you still getting the starheadboy tattoo?

Maybe? I decided that one is a contender but is not guaranteed.

maybe a teeny tiny one
oh good you're awake, is it caturday yet?

[christopher575.livejournal.com]

Almost! I just wanted to get through my replies first. So by asking, you have actually delayed it a little!
