Hey sleepy! I've seen you draw Ghost's tattoos several times now, and I'm sorry if you've already been asked this, but do you have reference pictures you base them off of/use? I struggle to find any good/clear shots for myself x.x
So, one day @shadeops21 gave me an asset of Ghost's tattoo from the actual model in the game and it looks like this!
(IT'S SO FUCKING EDGY HOLY FUCK 😭😭😭)
And because it's not clear enough and not big enough for an actual asset that I can use on my drawings, guess what my detail-oriented ass did! Yep I retraced and redrew it!
Did I just post my 4 hour work of retracing here? Yesh! The image is yours to use for your convenience and is at your disposal. This is my homage to the fandom I guess (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)
What I could say about how to apply them is probably these ones :
Remember that this is the whole ass sleeve that circles the whole arm. So when you draw Ghost, only parts of the arm should be visible, so don't fit the whole ass sleeve into your drawing. Erase some.
I'd mask/change the color with a dark red/dark purple to match the skin a little bit, then distort the asset so that it matches the angle and perspective, then mask/clip it down to the skin layer!
Eras some parts of the tattoo that gets light with textured brush so it blends with the skin texture. then add shadow and lighting, and voila!
Anyone can download the jpg or the png above and use it! Have fun drawing brotha ( •̀ ω •́ )👍
