So. A little over a year of progress in learning to draw all over again.
Original version was way too busy and cramped. If I had tattooed this on someone, all the texture on the horns near the base would've blurred together. The roses are just stuck in there without structure, plus I just plain do not like how they look.
Updated version in progress, will be working on it today unless it gets busy. Took the roses out entirely, making better use of negative space. Tweaked proportions slightly, will be inking in a completely different style with more varied line weight.
