Following on from
the preliminary concept and sketches, to get an idea of the proportions of the tattoo (as Giger's design does not map onto a real human very easily!), I opted to paint a rough sketch on the person who will be getting the tattoo. This turned out to be essential as the proportions in the original meant that instead of extending from foot to hip, it would have reached far up her rib-cage. So, I need to know what proportions to use, and a mock-up is useful so she can see if she actually likes it!

So, we agree that the design works - in the end it needed the thigh section of the original image to be shortened but other than that it is much the same. This is still at an early stage though - the image will have a surrounding 'background' and that's where the real creativity comes in as it'll be my original design. As I intend to draw it full size, it's time to find a nice big sheet of paper... more soon!
