Ok all you artists out there!!! I have no idea if anyone would want to take this on, but.... I want a certain tattoo and can't find the right artwork. So I thought maybe someone could help by drawing it for me. I want a phoenix and dragon flying around each other. Just thought I'd ask. :) Anyone interested???

*cricket bounces all over the place, waving both hands in the air* OO! Me! Me! *L* Where will it be going? Do you want portrait-style or tribal? And about how big?

faunabay	28 Apr 2002
YEA!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you I've been trying to come up with this for a long time. cricket - we could possibly even get together to do this!!!!!! :) I want a sort of realistic portrait style. I want colors!!! :) I don't think it matters how big the artwork is as they could shrink it, but I'm thinking about 2 to 3 inches. And I'm not exactly sure where I want to put it. I keep going back and forth on different places. (I want to beable to see it, so not on my back though) I'm sooooo excited!!!! I'll email you. (doing a little happy dance) :D :) :D :) :D :) :D :) :D :)

You have mail! :D

I can't wait to see it too~!!! You will have to make sure you post it here so we can all have a gander! :D

We're getting together on it tomorrow, and if we work something more than a rough sketch out, I'll scan it and have it up... if it's OK with faunabay. erm... make that later today... *L* Thursday.

faunabay	02 May 2002
We met today and cricket did a rough sketch. It's going to turn out soooo cool!!! It's going to be an infinity symbol with the dragon and phoenix following each other - one head on each end. If that makes any sense.....just wait until she scans it in. It's just going to be awesome!!! :D I'm so happy!!! :D

kayne	03 May 2002
Wow - sounds amazing! Can't wait to see it!!! :D

cricket	05 May 2002
Having just dropped multiple bags, kids, and spouse in the living room from a trip out of town for the weekend, the first place I come is..... here! To post a half-finished sketch thingy! *just hopes it works*

Liliana	05 May 2002
WOW Ill have to get you to design me one sometime :)

Melvis	05 May 2002
Wow! Cricket, that's amazing! Can I come to you when I finally get the nerve to get a tattoo? I can pay you in Tarot decks! :D ;) Faunabay, I'm so jealous! What a wonderful design to 'wear'! Have you decided where to put it yet? Peace, Melvis :TSTRE

faunabay	05 May 2002
YEA!! cricket!! It's turning out soooo cool!! :D I keep saying this, BUT....I'm so excited!!! Melvis - I think it'll go on my chest, right over my heart. But we'll see when it gets done where it really wants to go! :)

:eek: cricket, you're an art deity! I can't wait to see it finished...

cricket	06 May 2002
Ah, yes, well... *she takes a bow* (Modest, huh? *LOL*) It might be a while before the finished product shows up. The kids took off with my markers somewhere. :rolleyes: But that's ok! They're cheap! *L* For those of you who want one and have a general idea of what you might like, either PM or email. :) I'll get to it..... sometime.

Post the finished one, unless the dragon's gonna be white! --Dragon

kayne	07 May 2002
WOW Cricket - that is fantastic!!! What a great design and an excellent tattoo! :D I hope you are puting those skills into designing the perfect tarot deck!

faunabay	07 May 2002

cricket	21 May 2002
Finally!!! I didn't forget you, faunabay. It just took me a while. :cool: I thought you might like this color scheme - kind of a fire and ice type thing - even though one was done in marker and the other in colored pencil. -_- Also, there's not supposed to be so much blue on the phoenix' head, but that can be easily fixed. Let me know if you like, and what needs changed and stuff, and I'll get to work on a finished product for you. :) That is, if I shrink the attachment. Heh.

cricket	21 May 2002
Oh, forgot! *duh* If you don't mind, I'd like to use the design as the 2 pents card (sort of anyway) in the deck I'm working on.

floracove	21 May 2002
Cricket, that is absolutely beautiful!

Maalin	03 Jun 2002
Congratulations, Cricket, that is such a great design! I'm glad to hear that you are working on your own deck. I very much hope we'll get to see it when it's fininished?!

kayne	03 Jun 2002
Thanks for bringing this thread up again Maalin! That remeinds me... So - what's the latest!!! Can we see the finished design yet? Have you had the tattoo done??? Bring us all up to date! :D

cricket	03 Jun 2002
Hello hello! I'm not scheduled to get back home for another week or so (am over 1000 miles away right now), but will have the design done and posted within days of getting back. Promise! :) As for the deck, yes, you will be able to see it - a card at a time - if you're willing to view it through email in sketch form. I'm going to try and get it published eventually, so don't want people stealing pictures of cards or anything -quite- yet. cricket (who is a 3 day drive from home)
