lightning-striking.

black and grey covering black and grey.
that's a thing.
and usually,
it's only marginally better than trying to cover color with grey.
the thing is-
when it's an old busted doo-doo buttery blop or blarpity ink,
and it's hurtin' hard and lookin' worse?
yeah.
it doesn't matter what's there because anything is better.
and in the spirit of anything being better,
and this dude's norse heritage, lineage, or whatever,
this business was what i ended up using to incorporate the existing smear
as blue-blotchy splotches of underpainting for the new hottness.
i dunno,
just check the teleport:
viking sh!t is expert, neighbors.
that's real.
and semi-illustrative time-spanning barbarian tattzapping isn't so bad either.
so,
even though i was all kinds of overacting and overreacting,
and amplified in my activation,
i still sat down with my marky-markers and marked out the map
for this mess in lime green and magenta first.
yep.
i might've put more stars and clouds in there,
and maybe some lighter tones of texture as wrinkles and dents on the head,
but big boys with bad backs have a helluva time sitting still and taking their lumps.
this is what we had the time, temperament, and tolerance for,
so this is what there is there now.
who knows?
maybe he'll be back to make a little more magic happen...
and if not?
i'll still be here,
doing the same stuff, waiting around for you guys to come up and visit.
*
anyway,
i showed you guys three tattoos in a week.
that's gotta be some kind of a new thing, huh?
yeah;
never quiet, never soft.....
