I drew this the other night. Its the outline (before i shade it in) of the tattoo i will be getting to wrap around my right arm. Hope you like it.

I wanted the organic rough feel so i did this without any computer programs. Sketched out in regular #2 pencil and then inked with Uniball Roller Fine pen.
Nice :). Not very fond of tattoos me'self, though. But even if was, I guess I'd do something more "edgy" than that; you know, it seems a little too bland.
I like your choice of focal point on the keyboard. Gives it a great urban graffiti kinda feel.
Pretty nice, mind if I use it for a picture or something?
@DeathJynx
Actually I'd say lose the keyboard. Maybe keep just the mouse or replace with a classic WASD combination. I like the transition from old to new, top to bottom. The perspective on the keyboard is all screwed up too, possibly why I don't like that element so much.
I'd certainly try a few more options before committing permanency to your arm. Maybe think about a few other ways of representing similar things. Like the PS symbols, logos etc. Though I do like the controller theme.
That's quite the talent you have there, law.
Really nice, but what's about that ugly xbox s-controller? I'd take the dreamcast "prototype" instead or the actual 360 controller :P
Thanks for the feedback guys.
@DeathJynx
Thanks man. I chose that focal point to give the feel that all the consoles stem down from the center of gaming history, PC.
@DrDamn I love the critique. Thanks! The keyboard's perspective was purposely all screwy. Like deathjynx up there stated, I wanted to give it that urban graffiti feel and as with urban graffiti its speed, spray, no rulers so perspective is not something graffiti artists worry about but I do see what you mean. Like I said in the ogp, I wanted to keep it organic/artistic rather than mechanic/symmetric. I will try other type of keyboard representations but the controllers will remain the same. I didn’t put the symbols on the controllers because I didn’t feel like I should advertise the companies. Using the controllers as the image of my gaming better represents gaming itself rather than the evil corporations behind the games. Might not make much sense to everyone else, but it does me lol :)
@Mathare It does seem kinda subtle/bland, but like I say in the ogp this is just the outline and I plan on adding more effects to it. I actually will be drawing circuit board print coming from the edges to make it look like it’s written into my skin. BTW I already have 3 tattoos (Christian themed) and my girl friend has more, it’s all about placement.
@Yoshi. No I don’t mind and i appreciate you asking first so as long as you don’t make any type of major profit of any kind. Art is my profession and I am contracted most of the time...and usually I don’t read the fine print so I don’t know if anybody using this image for major profiting might get me in trouble
@ M.K. Thanks. I went with one controller from each major console manufacturer + PC (I’m a PC gamer first). I would have loved to include the SNES, Saturn, Dreamcast, N64, and Dreamcast as I have owned all systems but I wanted to keep it 1 controller per company so I went with Genesis for Sega as that was one of my fondest gaming experiences. I went with the Xbox1-S controller because that was my favorite console that I sent the most time on last generation.
PC, Atari (2600, loved playing on my cousin's original console for hours at a time), Nintendo (NES, the biggest affect on my gaming life), Sega (Genesis, the only console my parents ever bought me so i have fond memories), Microsoft (Xbox1, my biggest gaming experience of last gen...gamecube is a close 2nd), Sony (PS3, i started with PS1, didnt care for PS2 much, and PS3 is my biggest experience this gen).
@Michael
Thanks man I appreciate the kind words. Art is my #1 passion with Gaming being my close 2nd.
@spiderLAW
Fair enough on the keyboard, just didn't sit with the general precision of the controllers for me. If you want to go graffiti I think it would look very interesting if you could do them in a stencil style, Banksy like. That's just me though and it's you who will have it on your arm forever :)
@DrDamn
Im a fan too. I love high contrast drawings. I will work with some ideas and see what i come up with.
I'm a Bristol boy so see his stuff all the time - hence a little biased - but its got to be something you like, and also your style too. :)
Yeah, im going for what i like, period. Ill have an updated version out soona and ill post it up here.
I like it, I didn't know you draw spider. I think I'm going to have to talk to you soon because I'm in need of artist. Working on a project, do you take drawing seriously?

i have a new woman in my life, a daughter, and am very successful btw so no need to worry about me with the ladies. I have never had a problem with getting women.
OOO000oooooooo000oo now i understand your VG247 username.
@LOLshock94
It suggests he is a lot more comfortable with who he is than you are. You are happy to spend a lot of time posting to internet news sites and forums about gaming, heaven forbid anybody find out what you like doing though!
@DrDamn
I was going to say something similar to LOLshock but i realized it would have been pointless (thank you for saving me from doing it though :) ). He's still young (17yrs old) and has time to figure things out...little time...but still time.
People have this weird idea about gaming. Some might call it a waste of time and for children yet those same people will plop on the couch and turn on the boob tube to watch nothing but nonsense such as "Keeping up with the Kardashians" or "Jackass" or Soap Operas and act as if it is much more appropriate for a real adult to entertain themselves with. Some would get a tattoo of demons and skulls and laugh at a person getting a Care Bear tattoo. As if demons and skulls are much more of a wise/better choice. Crazy world we live in. – Rant over, but at least its relevant to what you stated.
P.S. @ LOLshock94
I draw/paint/write/sketch, I game, and I pray as a Christian and i would gladly wear any of that on my sleeve for all to see.
It needs the NGP on there with its name written out, so that it'll be wrong in a few months when Sony calls it something else.
:P
^ Hahaha that would be epic.
Maybe i should make a Tattoo that says "NGP>Dolphin>Revolution>XboxNext>PSPhone" or something of that sorts.
Well said law. I approve.
Nah, if you knowingly make mistakes, they arent mistakes. It's only funny if its wrong (or becomes wrong) by accident.
