Thanks for the kind words...
I can see it now: the race between MoNoXiDe and majik_6...who can get the V8 logo first, and therfore not be the "copycat".
Went and talked to a guy today, looks like I'll be getting inked on Saturday at 1pm. I'm figuring it'll take all day.
Hopefully I won't have to have the artist make many changes then. He was busy today, so all I accomplished was setting an appointment, giving him the sketch, and getting a price. Hopefully he thinks to finish the wings on the dice.
I've gotta go in early so I can talk to him about exact placement and colors before he actually starts inking it!
