SciFi and Fantasy Art: Gemini

Here's a zodiac tattoo design for a friend (Hi Tisha!). She likes her ladies tough and sexy.

*My tattoo designs are mostly stylized and/or tribal type figures in one color. I prefer that a tattoo conform to the body part on which it is intended to be placed, like it occurred there naturally. My favorite areas to design for are backs and shoulders. This one was challenging because I had no idea where she was going to put it. He he he.

They are indeed "tough and sexy." It might be interesting to see some other zodiac signs done in this style, its very spiffy. The only criticism I've got is that the arm of the one in the front looks a bit too thin, but I suppose it could be at a weird angle or something.

7 Barbara J. Wickham replies: "These ladies appreciate your compliment and so do I! They actually started off in a more stylized form but the 'customer' wanted them to have more 'curves'. Some proportions are definitely off-kilter but I was concentrating on other details and the owner-to-be wasn't complain'n. If I find the original design I'll post it for comparison and I really like your idea...tough & sexy lady zodiac signs! Killer! Thanks, again!"

For some reason the idea of tatooed people as tatoo designs is endlessly amusing to me right now.. Very awesome picture 2

17 Barbara J. Wickham replies: "The one who requested this wanted the gemini sign tattooed on her girls (see hip of facing gemi) the other tats are my embelishment on that idea. So the credit goes to Tisha. (Hey girl!) Thanks for the compliment...I might do more zodiac signs like this...still thinking..."

nice, a little more unusual than most tattoo concepts.

Something that I try HARD to avoid in my tattood designs, but TBH - deamon wings and that always look GREAT don't they?

I digress.

reminds me a little of the works of Erte (think I spelt that right), but has a individual spin to it that puts it way above 'hey!... that reminds me of something else'.

The pose is similar I guess to the style that is found on ancient Greek pottery - did you aim for that at all, or was that just chance?

Would like to see it coloured - don't know why, I'm seeing sky blues and cyans - is gemini an air sign?

1 Barbara J. Wickham replies: "The person who requested this design had a very sensual and edgey personality and my whole aim was to make sure the style reflected more of her warrior side. I also wanted to give it a touch of the primitive to give the design some age. I love that you used Greek Pottery as an example of a style since there are alot of elements in that art form that I like to incorporate into some of my designs.

Thank you for such an insightful comment!"

I would also love to see more zodiac signs done in this way
That would be wicked!!!

1 Barbara J. Wickham replies: "Thank you! I can't promise more zodiac signs but if I happen to make any designs in this style I will post them. "

:-) Barbara J. Wickham replies: "That’s exactly what the client requested. *lol* Thanks!"
