Backwards wing?
Didn’t think i would ever be posting here lol I got this crow yesterday that I LOVE. Just realized that the back wing is set backwards. I do love the way it wraps my shoulder, which isn’t something I requested, but maybe a reason she did it this way.
Truly still love the guy, and like no one I have shown the design to before or after has noticed it.. I mean neither did I lol. The artist is also Super into doing birds & creatures, and also the shading is super different on each wing so i’m wondering if i’m overthinking & just not seeing the vision.
Not really advice to ask for since it’s on me already but I guess just wondering what yall think.
Also attached that second picture bc it’s the Only drawing I could find w/ similar wing directions. I’m going to convince myself that it’s something like that. Like maybe that’s what she was going for- even if it doesn’t read to me. What would you do/think?
Editing early bc i’m dramatic:
Ok so it’s fucked but I still love the guy. The way it’s stylized & shaded is perfect to me. I love the way it flows with my body, & I don’t know if it would be the same going the correct way!
I was joking with her that I don’t get how artists make birds look like different birds, so def understandable to me that it’s tough to nail. I also had some specifics I wanted in the shading of the wing feathers so it’s on me (&her) for not looking closer. Disappointed at the idea of AI but going to TRY to give her the benefit of the doubt on that one because she has been doing this shit so well for so long- you can’t ace them all!
I love this artist, her work is so crisp- she’s one of the best local to me and I don’t have tattoo travel money. My bug guy below it is from her & will probs be going back for more. Maybe I‘ll stick to flash though. Just have to remember to not be soooo excited that I don’t look close enough- but this is my first custom tattoo so lesson learned!
