This is a winged cat tattoo design that I made for a friend's brother. The request was to draw a winged cat, sitting in that position.
The drawing was somewhat slaughtered by my crappy scanner (In the business for more than 7 years and still kicking!), but you get the general impression. I would really like to hear your comments on this one, because if the guy is going to tattoo that drawing on his back, it better be good.
If things turn out nicely and he does like it, I will try to post and image of the actual tattoo. :D

EDIT: Uploaded a picture of the tattoo...

I agree with ChateNoir, when he says that the tattoo artist basically sucks lol. The actual tattoo pales in comparison to the piece you drew. I like how the artist just did the left wing black-out instead of take the time to make it look good. Five stars on your artwork, 2 1/2 stars on the tattoo 'artists' work.

How awesome is it when someone tattoos a design you created for them, ha? =)
The photo is a bit blurry, but from what I see the tattoo artist's work is hardly up to par with your original art. The eyes in yours, for example, are so unique and have a sort of mystic, gazing expression, while the tattoo's eyes are fairly plain. But I guess that's the way with tattoos...

Awesome work.

Thanks,
Your opinion matters to me :)

Lovely design! I absolutely like the eyes (they look thoughtful), though it's pupils seem to give the effect that it tries to look at two ways at the same time. I adore the furr and the highlights, though the cat itself sits rather tense - or is that how it's supposed to sit? However! I think you've captured the cats general anatomy pretty well and the wings are gorgeous! Best drawing I've seen in a long time of a cat most definitely :) (I do hope that I wasn't too harsh on the constructive critisism - since you asked for C.c. ) But it goes straight to fav either way :D

Thanks! I really appreciate the criticism, really.
I can't see the problem with the eyes, but I think I got the point with the pose. The thing is the guy who asked me to draw the tattoo gave me a pretty clear idea about the pose he wanted the cat to be in, but maybe I could draw it a bit more relaxed in that pose, I don't know. I like to think of him as if he is about to take flight ;)
Anyway - now the tattoo is already on Tal's back, so I can't change anything...
