Artist's Comments

This is a tattoo design for my friend, whose super poetry you can find here [link]

It needs retouching and modifying, but this will do for now

I did want it to really work, as a heart and whatever mechanism it ended up being (in the end a strange mixture of engine and clockwork - engine because the heart is like the body's motor, that keeps it running,and clockwork because the heart is sometimes called a "ticker" and it puts some perspective on the mortality of any creature who has that sort of a heart), but I'm rubbish and don't understand machines at this point, so it's just an arangement of parts

This almost creeps me out, not because it's creepy, I think it's beautiful, it creeps me out because I have a character who has a clock instead of a heart. And his name was Tom.

Nice details and fine structure. That's a very clever design. Beautiful shading.

That's a great idea. The bike chain is a nice touch! Nice work with the light spots especially the upper right gear.

Perhaps, but they're all out-of-date. Here's the best picture I have of him with the clock showing through his skin: [link]

Lovely use of highlights and well. I really fucking love mechanics especially when they are used realistically.
