Description
Due to all the recent chaos in my life I needed an outlet... this is what happened! Hope that you like it despite the fact that I haven't found a scanner big enough to scan this drawing in with. So bare with me in the meantime and as soon as I can find a scanner you'll be able to see all of the tiny details I put into this.
I hope that you like it regardless!!

i know this piece is a bit old but i'm sure it's one you always come back to when you need to vent. you'll have to explain some of these some time, like the infinity loop or the denied robot, and the free bird. though it may all be very personal. so many words in here about being knocked back and shut in. one day soon the world will give it all back to you, and you'll be up where you belong. free, safe and happy

When I have the time I'd love to do another drawing like this one, a sort of "updated" version of it. The infinity loop represents some things that have no beginning, no end in my life. The denied robot is a reference to the second ex. The free bird represents me escaping the cage I was forced to live in by said ex. There is good and bad things in the drawing but it is all who I was at the time that I drew this.

i definitely look forward to seeing something on this massive scale again
i've always liked the idea of infinity. i've been thinking of a tattoo ideas lately, and the infinity loop has been on my mind

You, a tattoo? Really? That is awesome! I've been wanting some more ink lately! I was thinking of designing a tattoo with the saying, "The only way to shine your light is in the dark, so never let life kill your spark." ^^

i seem to get this tone from most people when i bring up the topic of tattoos that i'm not the most tattoo-ey person that they think of. and i understand that, i mean, no one in my immediate family has one, or has wanted one. there's kind of a stigma around them, i get, some sign of impurity (at least that's the impression i get from my mother's side, my dad has a brother, adopted sister and a brother in law all with ink). whenever i mention the topic around them though they aren't terribly opposed, though Emily has a pretty rigid fear on infections and the likes. I just like the idea of tattoos, even if they aren't meant for me.
ahah where are you thinking of hiding this one? doesn't sound like it'll be small!

This is my opinion...if YOU want a tattoo then get one. The hell with what others will think; you're "not a tattoo-ey person" or only deviants/criminals have them crap. Because to me tattoos are art, art that reminds YOU of a time in YOUR life, something that is important to YOU. And if and when you were to ever get one just do some R&D on tattoo artist and tattoo shops, be sure they are a clean shop and the tattoo artist's style is what you're looking for. That's all you gotta do.
To be honest I don't know if I want this one hidden if I were to get it!

Damn right
The other idea for a tattoo wraps around my right bicep/tricep, and is pretty much the black outlining of the arm band things on the armours of the Evas in neon genesis evangelion. But even then, NGE has been one of the most massive inspirations for my books. And on the back of my arm, inside the bands would be a small infinity loop, as it is the symbol of knowledge and science in my books. I was thinking the raven or Man a would go on my hand.
But you're totally right! Tattoos have been around for millenniums, well before sailors and crooks. I think too many people forget that. It's all for me
And I've always liked tattoos, except sleeves and neck tattoos, which I find pretty revolting.
I will definitely do TONNES of research before ever settling on a tattoo or tattooist.
I'll keep you posted

Al if you want a tattoo then get one! You have some awesome ideas that will mean a lot to you and that is what is important!

I do want one but I want to make sure it's good and won't get old or anything. I was talking to a friend at work and she said that everyyyyone gets infinity loops and I shouldn't. I didn't really know many tattoo cliches outside of tribal tattoos, the mom tattoo, barbed wire and in Australia the southern cross tattoo is the worst.
I'll think up more ideas

I think your friend is on crack..not "everyone" gets an infinity loop. Regardless if a symbol means something to you that is all that matters!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
it was a generalisation
i can't say i've ever seen an infinity loop, but then again i don't look too closely at anyone's tattoos.
yeah she said the same thing, doesn't matter what the tattoo just make sure it's close to you!

YOU ARE CRAZILY GOOD AT DETAILS! I mean, wow. Just wow. What are the words about?

Well if I had actually had the time to do it all in one sitting... :sigh: It took me about 5ish hours over 4 days.

I typically do things in one sitting or I toooooooootally lose motivation. I've gotten a lot better about that and I'm glad to see you don't have that problem. I tend to draw when I should be: studying, sleeping, showering, cleaning, organizing, doing chores, or just when I'm bored. I've lacked genuine inspiration lately and have had to revert to a theme challenge but it has gone well
I am immediately involved in a free secret santa type art trade group and am working on that as well as a promised RQ.
Wow, that's a ramble if I ever saw one >.<

I tend to "multi-task" in most of what I do. 
I did a secret santa during these last holidays, it was lots of fun (though what I drew didn't get the response I was hoping for)!
Rambling is just fine in my book, so ramble away because I know that I do often!

Haha glad I'm not the only one! I'm scared of what my art Santa person will think because I've never done what was requested of me. O.O
I am writing a series right now that is coming out in chapters. It's not hard to stick with because I love the story, it's just hard to find time to type up the next chapter.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh! So what is your story about? -am curious-
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The prologue and first chapter is up. It is about a tomboyish teen girl named Izzy Delvin and her best friend--the tall, dark haired, and very beautiful--Vance.

I just got finished reading the prologue and chapter one! Very nice start! It's really cute! If you every need/want a beta reader let me know. ^^ I'm looking forward to chapter two!

Beta reader? I'm not familiar with that term. I'm so glad that you like it! I'm always concerned nobody will!!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
A Beta reader is someone who reads your work and tries to catch any grammer mistakes, looks for anything you may have left out, and offers suggestions if need be. I've done it a few times and actually have a couple of my own, they are wonderful (keep me on my toes).

Well by all means, if you ever have free time I'd love for you to go through them and do so. I'm always looking to improve, especially on things I love.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I will find time to help you out, no prob. I too am passionate about writing. I know that I'm no where near any kind of master of writing BUT I have learned a few things over the years that have helped me improve my craft and I'm most happy to share with you what I've learned!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's so kind of you! Thank you! An thanks for the watch. You don't know how amazing that makes me feel!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No worries, I actually enjoy beta reading. I'll send you a note with all the edits and suggestions I've made. I hope that you'll like what I've changed and suggested.

I really appreciate this. I've always found my character are to shaky and not very solid. I'll slowly read through all those when ever I have a mo' I've been known for having character that are easy to relate to though so... *shrug*.
I'm one who really likes constructive criticism. I want to improve and what better way is there? If it sounds rude though I might get defensive but I do my best to be open ^.^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't think it should come across rude at least I hope not. If it does please let me know.
And so you know I think that you are a great writer! Being a writer myself reading your story gets the gears in my mind to turning. This story of yours is off to a very good start!
