Dire Wolf from Game of Thrones (revisited)

Let me know what you all think, it was my first attempt with a gray wash. Twas Kuro at about 75% ink/25% Hazel (I think) If anyone would have done anything at all differently I’d like to hear it!

First attempt on greywash? Well not bad actually.
I would have gone a tad blacker on some spots, but havent seen the picture you went from.

The picture I went from didn’t use any shading at all. It was just an outline, so it wouldn’t help much lol

[Lennart82]

Ahh okey. hahaha

But your lines in this one, is quite good. The shades, well I still would have worked a bit more on it. ;)

Thanks, I think the gray wash helped cover up some of the not so great parts on the previous outline I had done.

[Lennart82]

Hahaha, yeah, grey washing helps abit with those annoying niks and naks :D

Also, I should point out that the script in that was completely freehanded because I could not find the font from GoT

[Lennart82]

Still a good job though :D

Thanks Lenn :D

myfonts.com absolutely amazing. Every fuckin font imaginable all for free. And I’m not sure about pc’s but on a Mac you can rip a sample of the font right off the site to the desktop and print it out.

I usually use 1001freefonts.com or dafont.com but I will give that one a shot :)

My background is in Graphic Design so I have a ton of fonts on my computer lol, also I don’t trace the letters from a book I actually edit the fonts and stuff in PhotoShop until it’s exactly the way I want it and print that out. It just seems easier that way. Also, if a client wants I can even give them a picture of what their tattoo is going to look like if I can get an image of them and just manipulate it to look they already have the tattoo.
