vincegamer Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 Given the canvas, I'd think the choice would be obvious. Some form of the Goat of Mendes: Or slightly more intricate Baphomet: Or for a touch of whimsey: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LavronYor Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 I think the goat from Jurassic park would be appropriate. Right before he lands on the landrover. Nice face though. Is it a self portrait? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

callumrice Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Dr.Ape, explain this crazy eye-creating head gear you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrEvilmonki Posted October 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 @Vincent. The first image I downloaded as an idea for a tattoo was after seeing your suggestions (and to be honest needing to start ANYTHING) I have come up with this Still need to tidy up a couple of places (and do the other side) but I am glad I have got something started.

DrEvilmonki Posted October 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Dr.Ape, explain this crazy eye-creating head gear you have? This is what i mean. Has the magnifying lense you can see, plus another one that folds down for super rediculous close up (fortunately my eyes aren't that screwed yet!

Wren Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Great inspiration, and the execution is looking pretty fantastic so far too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callumrice Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Christ, thats some contraption, whats wrong with common eye sight? it all looks the same from my eyes, a couple of black blobs in the sockets and you have yourself some mean looking "starey" eyes!! I really like the way this piece is shaping up, I have contemplated buying some beastmen or gor/ungors, whatever GW wants to call them, as they look amazing, very proud and standing tall kind of models, now I see yours its convinced me to go for it.

DrEvilmonki Posted October 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 The reason i use the visor is that I can no longer see the eyes clear enough to get a dot in the right place without it. Doesn't look quite so cool if the beastman is crosseyed or stoned! Currently I use it just for that purpose so it is hardly an inconvenience really.

Sergeant_Crunch Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Hehe, stoned beastmen. Now that'd be a cool theme... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincegamer Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 I just checked back here and the 3rd image I posted was not working. In case you missed it, it was the ram head logo from the St. Louis Rams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supervike Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 I don't think you can post that without the express written consent of the St. Louis Rams and the National Football League....lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As to having a steady hand - I think practise is what gives you the ability. I have tried free hand before and it turned out rubbish, i am still not 100% happy with the result but since I have been taking my painting more seriously (as in trying to improve - notas in sucking all the fun out of it) I find techniques becoming easier.
