Now thats what the tattoo should have looked like originally , very nice job, though i agree with Nator with the shadow.

Great tatoo and image as well...

Thanks for the tip Nator, fixed the shadow, and thanks for the compliments everyone

nice image! - I don't however think the cracks are helping the image as they are... just looks like crackes in concrete and not tears in skin... and it's a shame the lizard thingy is blurred (did you have to enlarge it much) has the potential to be an outstanding entry if the tiny details are looked at more closely... Good Job on what you've done though

great image. Id like to aport my opinion if dont bothers you. I think it would look more realistic if you try to match the color of the tatto with the color of the lizard. then make a layer mask and make it look like its protruding from the skin. for the shadow, duplicate the head of the lizard, press ctrl+click on the layer to make selection and fil it with black, move it down a little and aplly some blur and lower the opacity. good luck

Art is sooooo subjective, but I did go with a few of JamesD & cterraza's tips....Thanks

Very good work..I was going to do this... but then I backed out.. Thanks Goodness I didn't ...lol GL

ah that's better...

The shadow at the top of the head still bugs me :S

I dont think it needs a shadow on the top of the head .but nice work

great job.gl

Yuk! Great work

Congrats!
