For The Roses

Got started on a new piece this past weekend. Another band tribute piece, this one should be a bit more recognizable to most of you around here. It runs from about halfway down my kneecap to just a few inches shy of the badlands, if you get my meaning. This is obviously just the outline and much shading and color is to come. Nic Montgomery at the shop here took care of this for me and knocked it out in something like two and a half hours. Anyway, here's some pictures from my phone...

this is going to look killer when it's done.
great design

tireironsaint - 1-19-2009 at 11:57 PM

Thanks guys, except for you BD, fuck you too.
I have a tour poster from their farewell tour over in euroland that I loaned to my friend and he tweaked the design a little bit to get this one. I'm super stoked on it and can't wait for the next session.

clevohardcore - 1-20-2009 at 12:37 AM

How much color is that getting? Will it take a lot longer for the finish?

BDx13 - 1-20-2009 at 01:14 AM

haha!

as soon as i saw the first photo i recognized it as the goodbye farewell poster.

Thank you ! !

tireironsaint - 1-20-2009 at 08:03 AM

Thank you, Paulie! This has been a long time coming and your words and music have meant a lot to me over the years.

Clevo, there'll be a lot of color and shading and it will take at least a few more sessions. I'll post updates as it progresses.

One day when I have the money I'll be getting the ST bulldog on my back to go under the Ugly & Proud tattoo.

BDx13 - 1-20-2009 at 01:42 PM

i like this one, looking straight on, with the crest.
maybe the small banner too, but not sure what to put into it.


tireironsaint - 8-14-2009 at 01:56 AM

update: a few sessions later....







We've still got a bit to do, but we have another session coming up on the 25th. I dunno if it'll be finished at that point or not, but I'm really happy with the way it's coming out.
