Post Need an artist!

Hey guys I am getting a tattoo this weekend on my shoulder. I have two ideas for the tattoo but need an artist to draw one up for me.

Here is what I want for the tattoo:

(1) Cobra emblem

or

(2) Cobra emblem with a chevy bowtie in its coils.

Can someone draw one up for me? I would really apperciate it!

Thumbs up

I'd love to do it. do you want any writing? do you want the emblem to be stylized at all? do you want it to be chrome (shiny) or just a line drawing for the tatoo artist to fill in? give me some details, i'll draw it up and scan it in

Thanks! I appreciate it! If you can, draw the Cobra with the bowtie, but have the Cobra head bigger and more aggressive. I want this tattoo to be like 5" tall. Go ahead and make the chrome shiny.

Man I can't wait to see what it looks like!

When do you think you can give me the drawing? I don't mean to be impatient but I really can't wait to see it!

Hey Rebel79
Just a suggestion, have you decided what tat shop your going to, yet? Maybe the tat artist can draw something up for you, if they are any good they should be able to draw what your looking for, I know mine did. =D

OK, here is what I want.

I have an 89'Mustang GT first of all. What I would like is a horse drawing. Starting just behind the door I would like to start with flames. The flames would then work into the mane of the horse itself. From the mane would come the horses head (of course). I would like the nostril of the horse to be approx. where the 5.0 emblem is now on the fender. As far as the mane and head, I would like to keep everything above the trim piece on the doors. if I could get a good outline then I could go in and have the colors added to match my car's colors.

Why? I plan un running nitrous. I would like to drill a hole in my fender where the nostril will be. When I purge the NOS it will appear as if the horse is snorting.

I have been wanting this for quite awhile but gave up because I could not find anyone who would (or could) do it. I received one drawing from a tatoo artist and it looked like the Denver Bronco horse, really sucked.

I want a horse that looks a little, well, pissed off is the best way to describe it. I plan on 9's with this car and a Mr. Ed imitation won't do.

If you can do this right I will make it worth your while, I think it would be waaay cool.

Hey Kevin, tell me what you want and I'll give it a shot. If you could send me a pic of the car you want it on, so I can get a better idea of what you are looking for. Anywho, I'm not that great of an artist, but designing graphics for cars is one of my many passions.
Later man.
Jodi, don't feel left out, we still love you!

Not to bad, but not quite what I had in mind. I am looking for something with a little more character and expression, know what I mean?

PGkelly

I will email you some pics. I could probably put the colors in later, assuming I could find a place that could make a the decal.

my email is MCVillain45@aol.com if you wanna email me aything. i'm working right now on the cobra drawing, and it's coming out pretty good. i've got the chevy bowtie wrapped in the coils of the cobra, with the cobra's head rearing up as its about to strike the bowtie.

Kevin: if you can give me a picture of the side of your car that would be great. preferably a dead-on profile, perpendicular to the car. i've got a picture of an '89 LX 'vert, but i'd prefer to work with the GT. is yours a notch or hatch?

bad news...

my airbrush broke. im not totally sure what's wrong w/it, but im gonna need a new one. serves me right for getting a low-quality one. because of this, chrome is out of the question, but im gonna scan it and do some computer touch-ups to my pencil sketch, make it look better. i'll still have it up by tonight.
