_{It was [link] that inspired me to do this. Just saw it a few days back, so made most of it in a hurry somewhat. [link] (This lady), who was hosting the contest, simply disappears. No message at all.
But I also kinda made this with [link] in mind, in which I won first place [link]

And honestly, even if it doesn't get picked*, I'd still be proud of this cuz this is something I actually worked hard.
Like, sweated my ass off, literally. No A.C. xD

Also cuz its come out the way I wanted it to, I'm actually even prouder, cuz there are few things that feel better than being good at what yu love doing..

Spent like 7 hours over-all on it.
Reasons:
1. I started off very small**, so the thin-lines were VERY hard t'make - -'
[But its all worth it now]
2. Also cuz I didn't get 7 hours straight. So each time, I hadta re-work the pencil and shit [Pencillers might get me idk what yu call it]
3. I had just one pencil with me*** , so it kept growing shorter with time, and it was pretty close to a stub by the time I was done.

I've rediscovered my childhood love
Putting a watermark, cuz I'm pimping it up babbaaayy!!

Anyone wanna help me colour it?

*Which I don't think it will, seeing how this doesn't go so well on a wrist..
**Half of half an A4, say
***Had another, but I lost it.. Could've just bought a ton more, but yea ykno me****.. and I prefer non-click-pencils for these awesome-ness drawings
****lazy as I am}

It might just be me, but I like how you took the time to keep an even space between every little piece. I think the darker shading throughout brought it out a lot and I like it, but you did not have that shading in the right wing. You bring out some parts a lot and the others your filled in entirely, I think that gives it a wonderful effect. It is not easy to draw something like this and the fact you did it in like 7 hours is amazing. It might come out just a little more better if you do not rush it. Nice work!

What do you think?

I really liked this. As a tattoo addict myself, this is very much the sort of tattoo i would get done myself. And you've certainly done a brilliant job of drawing the design.
I love the shading and the detail, like the drop at the bottom. It's very intricate, but still simple which is a hard balance to make. I think the way you've got the top left bit darker than the top right bit! That's very effective.
Everytime i looked at it i saw something different in it each time. It was like an optical illusion!
The only thing i would say that could make it better is colours. Although it would be great in black and white, well it OS great in black and white, i also think this would look even better in colour. Maybe some oranges, reds and yellows!
Bravo though! This is a brilliant design
