Description What color do you think this would be if it were in color?

That's the challenge I took from *wynnter89 's journal.
[link]

Go there, and see if you were right.




Traditionally Drawn with Pilot Precise V5 pens.
This picture took me about 20 or more hours over a period of weeks, due to the fine detailing.

Drawn on standard sized card stock.
Black and white enhanced, even though in real life, this is just as vivid.

This is my next tattoo!


Thanks for the comments and for the faves!

this is incredible! i love it, it's my favourite thing that you've done in a while. so beautiful...

if it were in colour, i think it would be teal blue. if it was in more than one colour, i think teal, turquoise, and a little bit of purple. it's gorgeous in black and white, though.

awesome! you did a good job have you ever seen true cyan?? there's an optical illusion on the internet somewhere that allows you to see "true cyan" it's amazing, really powerful and pretty, i think you'd really like it

Thanks a bunch!
I was actually surprised to know that the word cyanide derives from cyan. I was going to do a picture with the Jim Jones cool aid, but thought that dolphins would fit my style a little more.
I have not seen that, that would be cool!
My hubby is colorblind to cyan and red together. LOL

then check this out: [link] scroll down to where it says "the eclipse of Mars" and follow the directions, it's mind blowing... maybe don't show your husband if he's colour blind to it, it might make his brain fizz up, but yeah, give it a try, it's awesome!!

Not sure what color I would see it in. When I look at it Splash is not the first thing that comes to mind. What I see is the back of a woman's neck and shoulder. A little curly hair is down but most of it is styled up on her head.
