First submission in a long time!

So yes, remember me mentioning (for those of you following my journals [on FA or DA that is, lol. i promise to start being a bit more active here]) that for a while, i was doing artwork for a tattoo artist? Yeah so this is what i ended up doing; a viking-themed full sleeve design for some guy. It was pretty fun and tiresome to do, and i really like some of the elements, but the tattoo artist just sort of vanished off the face of the earth and i never ended up being paid. So i'm posting this online because fuck him.

I had even inked this, but i did so in some tracing paper that he kept and i didn't have access to a sanner at the time so... yeah. i might ink this sometime just for shits and giggles, but for now, have the pencils.

Most of the elements were by the client's request, but i designed the way they'd look and everything since they just threw a bunch of elements at me and their vague locations, cept for like the runes and that one symbol i forgot the name of, those were my ideas. All in all it was a nice artistic exercise, if not for antything else.

knotwork is hard as balls to do
