Firstly, let me tell you that the design will become my next tattoo! Yes, so that means that something you design will live forever on my body, sounds interesting when i put it like that huh? :P - Thanks to =Elandria for pointing out in all my excitement, i hadn't yet mentioned what this was for! :hug:
Ok, so here's the deal right, i would like someone to come up with a design, that is done in line art and with as little or as much detail as you wish. The winner will get a 3 month subscription from me. and will be featured in my journal(woot :/)

Anyway, the reason for my request is simply because i cannot draw to save my life. and i have some great ideas in mind but no way of bringing them to shape.

So the only direction that i will impose that the drawing contains reference to the zodiac - gemini, that it has the number 7 in it(in any form, dice,numerals, etc) a hand of cards(flush, or kings, etc), stars, stripes, and maybe some other reference to the punk scene. But please do not feel limited to it. Be creative. I'm open to your interpretation. The piece may be as dark/sinister or peaceful/neutral as you wish. I will run this contest for the next 4-6 weeks, depending on the response that i get. All submissions will be placed on my journal so that anyone who visits may see your work and track the competition.

Just a simpler breakdown of those elements...

Zodiac Gemini - or some play on that symbol
The number 7 - its my lucky number
Playing cards
Maybe a jester's crown...
Stars, stripes, skulls, etc...

These are just things that mean something to me, in general though, it's a punk rock theme. But feel free to play around with themes, and other ideas, have fun and be as creative as you like. I admire creative interpretation...

I am pretty excited about this and really at the end of the day i would really appreciate anyone's attempt.

If you wish to show me your work(which will be put up in my journal) or have any questions,etc please feel free to PM me.

Thanks again and good luck! :D

I thought i should mention and thank they great group of people that i have met during the course of the last few days in my journey to create the ultimate tattoo. And let me tell you with the kind of talent that floats around this place, specially speaking of those individuals that have come forth offering their time and skills to this cause, the tattoo won't be anything short of amazing! i'm so super excited now!

Anyways, those great people i have been talking about:

Hmm hon you didn't mention what you'd be doing with the final line drawing... is it purely for art, or will you be doing something with it? Sounds like a great comp but a little more detail would be cool :)

Hey there luv, how you been? Wow, I am really enjoying being a little more active here on dA, i really missed my friends and this whole great community!
Thanks for the heads up, i really didn't even noticed that i had not mentioned it.
I am planning on using the final piece as a tattoo, for myself, either on my shin or on my leg.
I know, some people think i am mad, others think it's great, i just think - u live once, have fun, but i wanna do it right, hence the fact that all the elements that i mentioned have some form on meaning to me and my life...
Anyway, i will update again to let everyone know.
But me being a little lax on my dAism, any pointers as how i could generate more interest based on what info i could dish out?

Thanks for popping by, i hope all is well! :hug:

yep :D *pets her css* would look better though if they could sort out the thumbnails that they have fucked up GGRRR and you can mod the home page too if you're subscribed, so rather than most recent and DD's and prints.. you can add your own categories :)
