I was inspired by the work of Rick Simmons on tattoo machine frames and thought it would be a nice project. Any tips for improvement would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for the nice comments. The frame was a nice practice piece in that it provided some irregularly shaped surfaces to design within other than a square practice plate.
Thank you for the nice comment. The skull is not carved/ sculpted. It is actually a flat surface that is rendered with a series of fine lines. the darker tones are achieved by cross hatching about 30 degrees to the first and so on.
