Raven Dancer

Commission for Client.

When many times people ask me to draw tattoos for them, most of them are always the same: Raven Stealing the Sun.
Many claim this to be their "favorite story" form the NWP, but the reality is: it is the ONLY story they know. And some don't even know the real NWP version, but the "children book" version that removes the "inappropriate" stuff from the content of the story.

While this client had a very VERY sound reason to want this story as the content of their tattoo (the analogy was very well placed) they were unaware of some of Raven's misgivings... which would associate the reason of their wanting the tattoo with something less-than-positive.
To compromise, I offered something of a mid ground- we can utilize the story, but change the content to appear as if it is a Dancer preforming the story than Raven himself- making not only a new unique design, but lessen the negative characteristics that Raven possesses, and focus on an artistic creation of the Dancer.

The tattoo is to go over the client's shoulder, placing the head of the Dance above the breast/heart, with the wing on his actual arm.

Once again, this image was created for the sole use of the client. No reproduction or copying is allowed.l You know the drill.
