Karashishi






Eight hour session this time.  I usually don't work that long on one person, but he was driving from Mammoth to get tattooed, about nine hours away, so we didn't really have the luxury of time and multiple sessions.
Last time I saw him we outlined everything and colored the chest and a little background on the inner arm.  Everything else this day, and he sat like a champ.  Never took a food break, and I don't think even ever asked for a bathroom break.  I was pretty happy that we were able to finish everything in one last session and maintain a high level of moral and quality.
Definitely a fun one on a great client...

Blue Phoenix


Did a bit more (you guessed it) blue.  Added some more pattern and texture here and there, although you can't really see the spotting in the neck, it should pop out after it's healed.  
Also got to some highlights of purple, green and ochre.  Blue phoenix is the concept, but I'm incorporating just a few contrasting colors.  Keeping it in the peacock colorway though.
One more session ought to complete it...
(Ok, maybe two to really dial it).
