Description
I can't believe I forgot to submit the original ballpoint pen version of this design. *Slams head on tablet* Anyhow originally this was meant to be a tattoo design for a client, but they ended up wanting something more detailed instead. Go figure.FYI, this was my very first design of the Thokloks.
Drawn in 100% ballpoint pen. Prints available.

The detail is incredible, the sort of stringy-style you've achieved with just a ball-point pen is very impressive.

i like the way the spines and supports for the frills go out into a wispy, wavey looking tendril
very cool personally i dont see how MORE detail could be put into anything, but eh,
some people are picky

One of these days, you are actually going to submit a real tattoo design to the tattoo section, an actual T-shirt design to the fashion section, or a wallpaper to the wallpaper section, and a lot of people are going to go into some kind of shock.

All of my wallpapers are sized appropriately, all of my t-shirt designs are created exclusively for high-end clients, and all of my tattoo flash is actual client commissions and requests . My submissions are uploaded to their corresponding categories accordingly. I would appreciate it if you'd refrain from harassing me like this again. Thanks.

It really is interesting how so many professional tattooists disagree, isn't it? In any case, rest assured that my 'harassment', as you are so quick to term it, will not repeat itself within any portion of your gallery.

I already asked you to stop harassing me once. Harassment, as you are so quick to deny it, was indicated when you included my wallapers and t-shirt designs in your passive-aggressive comment. Those are strong words coming from someone who has unconventional wallpapers in their own gallery themself. Therefore, your "disagreement" with me went beyond my submission in the tattoo design gallery and you took it to a personal level. If you had something to say about my tattoo flash exclusively, that is fine. You are entitled to your own opinions, as each one of us are. But since you so obviously took it beyond this deviation, wrongfully accusing me of art that is submitted appropriately, my reaction to your pitiful excuse of an insult should come as no suprise to you. Your defensive response to me justifies your intentions. Now leave me alone.
