:Commission: Celtic Moth tattoo design

Sparkyopteryx

Finished Celtic tattoo design for CadmiumTea. He let me pick the specific moth species and gave me a lot of free reign overall, so I ended up picking a Hercules moth specifically for their large, dramatic silhouette. Also having an excuse to use spiral designs for the eyespots. This was quite fun to work on, especially finding just the right way to incorporate knotwork without it looking too busy.

Tried a different paper this time around, Canson marker paper specifically. It's very lightweight but takes pen pretty well, although I'm probably going to stick to my smooth bristol since I like its texture more.

This is not free flash. Use of this design is reserved for the client only. If you would like a tattoo design of your own, please commission me and I'd be happy to make one custom for you!

    Saturnid moths are best moths.

      They are gorgeous I must admit and come in some incredible variation but as far as their adaptations go they kind of fail haha. Doesn't mean I don't love them less though.

        You must love them more for their ephemeral qualities.
