This is my submission for twilight-stray’s tattoo contest!
She wanted a native designed tattoo, invited me to try it and I figured why not? I like doin’ this stuff, and I was in need of some good art preoccupation!
To explain:
Wolf and Unicorn dance as friends under the Moon while Raven’s spirit takes flight in the heavens to rejoice.
The only part of this image that was changed form the original description was the Moon instead of the Sun. It just seemed wired to me that there would be a sun in the midst of these three animals when it’s clearly defined by native mythology that Raven and Wolf were Lunar animals and the Unicorn is a Lunar animal by the legendary concept as well- “Lunar” in the sense of female symbols and magic. (The Moon is the ancient symbol for the Female. Every cultural system that works on a Lunar calendar was Matrilineal to begin with or had more sense of equality between men and women, while all the Patriarch societies defined themselves by a solar calendar. Even by many cultural legends as well as some Pagan beliefs, the Sun is male, the Moon female.)
Anyhow, I hope you like it, and if you want the Moon with the 12 stars removed and a Sun in it’s place you tell me and I’ll do it!
I also have the plane white version if you need for your tattoo (if I win this little competition).
Yes, believe it or not, I have to simplify the design a bit. I know there are you guys out there thinking “THAT’S simplified?!?” but yes it is.
Oh, and anyone can spot the 4rth animal in the picture? If so, tell me what it is and why you think it’s there.
You know, I hae another friend () that insisted that her totem animal was a sea cucumber.
No. I'ts not a sea cucumber.
Thanx for the laugh though. I needed it! XD

boss. :3 i see a bird's head in the unicorn's body — an eagle, perhaps? not sure why it's there, as eagle and falcon and such are classically solar animals....
I see a ravens head in the belly of the unicorn ^___^
But I have noidea why its there... I drew alot of native american stuff for a project, and I guess I used to draw heads in bodies all the time but never know why they were there @.@
Ah well, love it all the same
I saw this last night & didn't have a chance to tell you how awesome it is!! The raven's feet & tail look like a wolf's face to me Tarki-chan! Did I guess correctly?
