Colin

This guy is set to fill in the empty space on Colin's sleeve-- meaning in between the gentleman bull/ fish-hand/ cuttlefish I've been working on with him. Photos are below in earlier posts. 

The tail will go between the Bull and Fish, wrapping up and over his elbow. Should be a pretty badass one when it's done. All of this is just "Do whatever floats your boat, Alpal" which is pretty tight. The globe in this is loosely based off of a piece Cody Eich just did-- I really dug the idea and made it my own lil orb desert. 

The jaw tattoo was one of my favorites in a while- I'd love to do more anatomical etchings

Half way into it, stopped for now.

When your friend's window makes your knees tingle

Elijah's mantis friend. His skin was amazing- it soaked up the ink like a sponge and never even became irritated or red. It's healing like a dream, too.

Partner

A few days after the first session, Shelby came back for the little fox boy partner. A little different than my usual work. Next is color!

Also, if you want faster updates, the best way is my instagram. I forget to update on here fairly often (hence the billion updates today), but the link to my gram is down in the bottom left of this page, and the handle is _alpal. Peace for now, ya'll.
