The main challenge is to cover that old type rose design - making it disappear.
There was the ex-wife name as well - it’s gone already
Just trying to follow the old tattoo bold edges - to change them into branches …
I’ve done my best to make some sort of tree crown around the top - the worst is the interior, because the way I’m making the crown(leaves) is barely noticeable
The next, final session will be to put shading all around, in hope to improve the 3 dimensional look.
The rose flower is still showing through with its faded reddish - me and my client actually do appreciate it.
We do think it’s like if something alive, a living creature - was trying to get out from the inside of the trunk?
I’m half/half about this cover.
It supposed to be a nice believable tree shape, I’m achieving sort of something
At some point I can see it as a disaster, on the other hand it’s very unique
?Below this rose flower was another cover up I’ve done few months ago - the skull.
The skull is looking alright, because I’ve fully covered up the old tattoo with the eye hole of the skull, so the rest of the skull was made over the empty area.
Unfortunately the rose is opposite - I’m just manoeuvring within existing lines and shapes - what’s making this cover up hard to read …
