Since deja-blu busted her ass on my tattoo designs, I did the same for her. Fortunately, she had a much more specific thing in mind. The wanted the Half-Life 2 logo, with the 2 changed to a pawprint, in 3-D, so it looks like it's popping out of her arm. It's rather fitting, with the fandom and our second identities being more or less of a whole nother life, especially for lifestylers.

I drew this up in Illustrator, tracing the pawprint in vectors along with the rest of the construction. Then, I took that into After Effects and used the 3D Invigorator plugin to get it nice and 3-D, including adjustments like material settings and lighting.
