Design my new tat :) - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

qpid · 06-03-2003, 09:14 AM

I want a butterfly on one arm and a hurricane (really a typhoon but I think that image will be hard to portray) on the other. Its an homage to the common chaos theory explanation (i.e if a butterfly flaps its wings in Oklahoma a typhoon will occur in Japan) However I cannot for the life of me draw a decent tornado and my butterflies are so-so. Anyone want to give it a shot?

I'd prefer something with an industrial, man vs machine type feel to it as my other tat is a barcode opn my neck and I think something cutesy would ruin the effect

ps: i'm going to have some words below each pic (binary code)

I'm working on a butterfly. It's just a real quick sketch, but it should be enough to determine whether it's kinda what you're looking for or not.

Only one problem: I don't have a scanner or digi cam at the dorm, so I'll have to put it up when I go home for the weekend.

majik - thanks man

SexyCat · 06-05-2003, 06:20 PM

hehe

Well I'm no artist but I got a play on the Chaos Destruction thingy. How 'bout you have Mothra on one arm and Godzilla on the other. On your chest you can have like beams of death flying at eachother.

qpid VERY cool idead.. butterfly theory is your freind..but do you REALy want a butter fly on your sholder?

majik_6 · 06-13-2003, 02:24 PM

I've got the butterfly design done (just a sketch) and I'm home (scanner/digi cam). Do you want it posted on here, e-mailed, etc?

qpid · 06-14-2003, 06:07 AM

Here's an attempt at a flutterby...

It's actually a manipulation of the image on Iron Butterfly's album Heavy. I'd work out a typhoon for ya too, but my trackball's being a bitch today... maybe if I didn't drop it daily...hmm.

majik_6 · 06-20-2003, 05:05 PM

Umm, yeah, mine's not that good, but I'll scan it anyways!

Really cool idea.

majik_6 · 10-07-2003, 06:05 PM

Hey, I've got the butterfly up on my website (I'm not smart enough to post pictures, yet).

www.geocities.com/the_crim_rhwv/butterfly.html

That should be it. Like I said, it's just a little 5 minute sketch.

Oooh that's a nice design

analinguist · 10-08-2003, 04:35 AM

do you really want a tornado on your arm? maybe there could be a little more abstraction to it. if i saw someone with a tornado on their arm, i'd put them in the same category of someone who got the tazmanian devil or yoda. its nice that you are having a conceptual value, and not just aesthetic purposes, but a tornado? maybe you could have a japanese style wave and water on one side (like what they use to surround the coy fish sometimes or you can see them on japanese paintings) and a butterfly on the other.. i'm not seein the tornado.
