Illustration Friday: Mythology

For Illustration Friday, the theme was Mythology. For this topic, I will design a tattoo sleeve. I mostly researched greek mythology because it's what first comes to my mind. Here are some images I found...

I decided to go with these creatures/beings because I liked their design and I thought they would look interesting as a tattoo. I created the thumbnails for my design in photoshop. These are my thumbnails...

Out of all of them, I wanted to continue with Poseidon because his stood out the most to me. I continued with my design by adding shading and highlights. Here's a picture of the beginning of my shading process...

And finally, here is the final tattoo design. I put the tattoo on an arm so you all can see how it would look in real life.

I'm really happy with how this turned out and I can't wait to do something like this again.
