Tattoo for who?

I've been doing a tattoo design for my good friends.  The tattoo is supposed to be a gift.  Anyway the design is meant to represent the mom and dad with the two smaller gears being their boys.  If they ever have a little girl I'll have to draw them up a nice little girl gear :)

Manchess Copy

Haven't posted in a while.  So today I did a copy of a piece by Gregory Manchess during lunch. It was a really cool portrait of a steampunk craftswoman. I think I'll take a few more shots at this one. I'm really liking how Manchess' brush strokes look and I'm learning a lot from his work.
