Oh, and the inconsistent shading around the beams will be taken care of in time - I definitely recognize it as being there.

Got some more love for you guys. Another few hours in, getting more shading done on the open areas - especially around the skull in polka trash style. About 65 hours in with maybe 2-3 more sessions...

Hey guys, sorry I haven't been keeping up but here's the results of 3 months and 5 more sessions (about 12 hours total). So, I've obviously done a lot. Got the "polka trash"-style red stripe going...

Well, I have a consult with him in the next few weeks to outline the last few smaller pieces and exactly how we want to lay them out and how the final portion, the background (what will bring...

@Ben - I was honestly not sure how I felt about it when it was done on the one side, because it felt SO out of place and bold in comparison to the soft, dark lines I have everywhere else. But, like...

Haha, thanks! I was actually pretty dreading my side/ribs and the first 15-20 minutes were no fun, but I settled into it after that just all the other areas - although, it was definitely tied for...

Got some more eye candy for you! Got my lettering done today - "WE DEAL IN LEAD" and "SEPPE-SAI," or death-seller. I've always love that phrase from the high speech, and I think that this frames out...

Hey guys, I got this a week ago and haven't had time to post them - got sick 3 times in a row and had to miss my tattoo appointment last month too :(

Anyway, got the field of roses filled in under...

Thanks! I commented on your post recently :)

Got Lookout on my left shoulderblade - Cuthbert's rook skull! It's an odd, jagged shape so there's going to be something around it to even out the harshness. Jake was thinking a bird's wing and...

Session #10 - 4 more hours in. I think I'm a little under the 45 hour mark at this point. Today, we got the first skull in from start to finish, and Jake at Divine Machine Tattoo (Buffalo, NY) did...

Thanks, Ben!

Honestly, this was the first session (of 9 so far) where after an hour in I was just thinking "can I be done for today?" That hadn't happened up until this past weekend. The...

Not as much progress to report this time but some of the space around the beam (middle of my back - red as hell) are in. The beams themselves are the negative space and once the Gunslinger's body...

Gonna be waiting a while - guessing I'm not quite half done yet!

Thanks, Ben! Jake's specialty is light/dark values and grayscale in general, but it's taking a lot of time to get that detail down for sure. I was worried that the super dark blacks in the Gunslinger...

Another 3 hours in - more shading/smoothing on the Gunslinger. Starting in on a little beam action as well.
...

Another 3 hours - shorter session, but starting to get the gunslinger in! Obviously more work to do, but the shading is turning out really well. More coming in about 2 weeks!

I absolutely love that artwork! I have the edition of the 7th Dark Tower book that the artwork is on, and it's phenomenal. Your artist is sick and I honestly almost got that as a part of my piece as...

@Icry4Oy - Ha! I'm glad you're loving it. I think for the time being, most of the butt cheek work is done since that's the base and we're building from the bottom up, but it's possible there will be...

Here's an update! Got a lot more work done on David, the hawk: Shading in the body, wings and torso drawn down more to connect to the roses. Some leaves also slammed in there behind the roses (under...
