Wow, that rose! The first one! These are really cool!

A hot air balloon sounds really cool. I'll have to play with that idea. My trick to shaded ones like the rose. I go through with a base color and make the tattoo. Then I pick my two other shades, one dark, one light. Then instead of looking at the big white box where your actually drawing I look at the bottom where it gives you a preview of your tattoo. I use that to decide where I should put the other colors. If you where to actually look at that rose in the editor it probably looks like a freaking mess of a nightmare of color. And think someone went crazy just throwing colors all over the place.........and you would be right lol

That will be cool.

I saw someone with the name fallen angle and thought some wings with devil horns would be cute. It doesn't look good on dark horses though or on Leopard Appaloosa. I kind of wish I could make the horns bigger because I'm not sure if anyone can tell what they are. But if I do then they look to big and out of place with the wings lol. Oh, the proportion struggle is so real ROFL

Haha! Thats funny! but it makes sense. I'll remember that tip about looking at the small box for shading and things when I dabble in trying to make my own again lol if you do make a hot air balloon I'd love to see it!

Love it!

How CUTE!

If anyone wants to try and make me a fancy tattoo I'd be willing to trade 2 guaranteed intact straws to my sb3 boy, Train Ride. I like dragons, lol but thats probably difficult. I like flowers too. Or just surprise me :))

Edit: a martini glass would be neat, too haha

So...incredibly creative people. I have a question. I own a beautiful tattoo for my satin line. It's a Chinese character and it's done in solid silver. My question is this--can I either sell the tattoo to the original creator and ask them to shade it in black, or can I try myself--and then put it on the rest of my horses and the tattoo will automatically change on everyone. I have a lot of Grullo or champagne/cream with satin and it doesn't show up on them at all...

This girl has it on her shoulder...

I've been putting it on the background where I think it won't show up. Just missed on her... i will sell it back to you as I am seriously artistically challenged.

Ok no problem. We have to make it so it works on the colors you got otherwise its useless. It wont take to long to shade in some black.

Thanks so much! I love the tattoo! I just didn't realize how many of my kids have lighter colors...

ROFL no charge. Right now the editor is giving me fits. The tattoo looks right but then when I open it it has cut off the right side. I might have to try and redue the whole thing because of the stupid editor. You want it all black or a two tone silver and black?

No hurry. I'm working today and leaving shortly with an injured puppy dog, so I have bigger things to deal with! Take your time!

Oh my god that looks amazing!

It really does! Has the wow factor for sure. But it looks great on my champagne girl too.

Hey, the tattoo will update if you just refresh the image! (And it looks great, btw!)

Oh well that's nice to know. I didn't know that Rose rofl. Learning all the time.

Glad to help. XD It would still be cheaper even if you had to completely refresh. :P

I like kassie's dragon too. Looks just a little like Mushu from Mulan!

Someone got me into Celtic knot tattoo's now

My Ausmerican Bred daffodils on 2 of my gen 2 stallions. Looks AMAZING! Daffodils are my favorite flower. Love all my tattoos, guys!

How does the tablet make it easier?

Well, mostly because I suck at drawing with a mouse. Wacom uses a pen, and it is 1:1 with the screen (so, you can't pick it up and move it like a mouse... takes some getting used to, but basically if you put your pen in the top left corner of the tablet, you're in the top left corner of the screen). It's just more precise. You're so good at digital art, FJ, you really should try one. I have a looooong way to go learning what all I can do in Photoshop (I have used it extensively editing photographs but am just learning digital painting and digital coloring) but I'm having fun playing.

The model I have is an Intuos 2. My son has a Bamboo, he says don't bother, it's not good (Intuos is a step up from that). Watch the video some time that shows how the Cintiq model works, that'll give you some digital envy. :)

Lol
