lol....Mark, thats one reason I posted the bare bones of the project...I wanted to show the progress....i knew people were looking at it like "what the...." it had no substance as an outline but add shading and colour.....and the picture pops!

so far approx. 10 hours have been put into it excluding the elbow piece and older existing work(which he's added too so it all blends together). I'd estimate another 6 hours before it is complete.

Cool. Ya I ended up with 6 sessions. 3 (outline, shading/color & touchup) for the "Hand Of Doom" & 3 (same) for the "Reaper" in behind it. I was only due 11 hours, but got around 14 WOO HOO! I'm actually thinking of making a post & doing like ya suggested on the other forum & post pics of the progress from sessions 1 thru 6 just to show people the process of how things came to be. Yours is looking really good so far. And whats this I hear about a Blue Racer? It should be a Blue Beauty! LOL Mark
P.S. I guess http://www.ratemytattoo.net is officially "Toast" now?

hey Mark, I chose 4 Ontario snakes for the tattoo and already had one, the massasauga, from another artist. I chose them because that is were I'm from and to me the native herps here are just as beautiful and tattoo worthy as any other exotics

If I had enough skin I'd probably tattoo a wider variety but I've already mapped out all the areas I want covered with other ideas....hee,hee

Still got my first snake, the ball python, on my elbow though

as for ratemytattoo...i don't know what happened with that site....I haven't been able to access it for a few weeks.
