Tattoos

I didn't do a First Try Friday last week because no one posted suggestions, and I kinda forgot in a rush to get home for the weekend.

I guess technically this can be a First Try Friday, but in a strange way. Just go ahead and look at the images for yourself.

Now, for the reveal. All of the above images were edited and manipulated.


After taking some photos of my arm (all slicked up with Egyptian Magic for effect), I think tinkered around with the vector image converted into GIMP. Mainly I used scaling, rotating, perspective, layers, duplicate, transparency, blur and IWarp to get the effect right.


Enjoy!
