TEST IMAGE: (a.k.a. The Case of the Blind Tattoo Artist)
Been picking thru the best of my Doc Watson renders from yesterday and decided to work this one up into something a bit more ... artistic. Since the AI is an AH when it comes to specific tattoos requests, I decided to go roll my own using Photoshop. A decidedly old version, CS2, so it is very possible I have completely farked up the instructions from the tutorial I was trying to follow. Which, if anyone is interested, is right here: https://photoshoptrainingchannel.com/apply-tattoos-in-photoshop/
And .... the results:

Yes, I know the knickers need work, and no doubt a few other things do as well. Still have to figure out the scar, but right now what I need to know from those of you with actual (mostly?) working vision is whether or not that's reasonably believable ink. Not going for the "real live photograph" look here, the finished piece will be painting/illustration style. That said, it's still gotta look right. Like it belongs.
So. Advice? Comments? Suggestions? Constructive criticism? Bring it on!
P.S. If you feel like tossing things, popcorn is preferred to produce. Rotten tomatoes are a right b*tch to clean up, especially when they go splat all over your screen. ;-)
