pruning season,not yet! good work!

I saw this tat source and was thinking of doing the same thing but I didn't like the fact that the tattoo pic was an old tattoo. Seems like you pulled it off ok though.

thanks guys. I was also thinking the same thing jawshoewhah that for this competition few members may pick the same sources from flickr. I guess the way you work around an image is what makes it different. Thanks again

Might be better with some of the leaves from the original tattoo, but good work over all...

Thanks CMYK. I thought about it too. I 've tryed to make them a bit brighter and with a warmer color but they were way too blury. The idea was to make them match the color of the added leaves. I 've desided to leave it like this cause it looks more clean. I even fixed the guy's finger nail cause i almost threw up when i saw it. Look at the source

pass the dutchy on the left hand side. nice blend Author

Nice work....

Lol...cool

Very clever. I feel sorry for whoever has that tattoo...

Hard work and a great imagination and creativity....Cool....

Goood!!!

Good idea but I don't think the border is nesessary.

Good work... lose the border

nice job.gl

Work on the blood...

I like the tatto selection, but I think the safety pin is too thick on the left side and does not blend with the tattoo in a way that makes it look like it's actually growing out of the tattoo.

if i had that tattoo on my arm i would sook all the time lol... im such a wimp when it comes to blood lol

Good work... try fixing up the blood a bit, maybe add a bevel transparency to it? GL

Good one...Even a glimpse of the work gives pain....
