Thank you.
Actually, I have a Society6 shop, and that model is among the ones I sell. For having tested both POD shops, I have found that the people from Society6 are far more professional, and the products' quality is amazing.
You may want to give it a look here, if that can be of interest to you: society6.com/pierrecarles

I am not offering that particular design as a Tee-shirt at the moment, but on a similar theme, that other one got a good reception:

Thank you for the suggestion, and have a great week !

Excellent work! But i have a question... May i use this image as an example for my English presentation? I'm presenting about Norse mythology, and this picture is by far the best i have found for the tree. Thanks in advance!

Dear Ivan,

Thank you for the nice compliment. I will be honored to let you use this image for your presentation. May I ask what type of presentation it is, just out of curiosity ?
The only thing that I will request from you is to give credit to the image when you use it (which can simply be a small name mention in a corner, of course).
Good luck for your presentation !

Hi, Dustin.

Thank you for your interest in this piece.
Technically, I cannot share it myself: It was commissioned by an editor for a series of novels on Northern Mythology, all copyrights now belong to that company.
I guess that you will not be sued by them if you use it for personal purposes, but I thought it was important to inform you.

On a side-note, maybe your guild could commission their own emblem ? That way, it would be yours 100%.

snorrefolke [2014-12-18 21:07:49 +0000 UTC]

would it be OK of me to use your picture as motive for a tatoo?

Carles In reply to snorrefolke [2014-12-21 04:08:18 +0000 UTC]

Hi !

Sure, with great pleasure.
And thank you for asking !  I am always prone to let people use my work for such personal uses, but so few people even care to ask ! You would be surprised.

The only thing I ask, though, is that you share a picture of the tattoo with me when it is done. Is that OK for you ?
Oh, and one other thing: Please, see that the tattoo artist does not add the pattern to her/his catalog for further re-use. That would be a commercial use of my work, which would not be OK.

Also, in case you or a friend ever needs a personal design, I do tattoo design commissions, so feel free to inquire. I have a background in SFX makeup and body painting, so I have experience designing patterns that have to fit with someone's anatomy.

Good luck with the tattoo then, I hope you find the right tattoo artist for it. I look forward to seeing how it looks !
Best wishes,

Pierre

sharing a picture with you would be no problem at all! finding a suitable artist however is a different story. i just turned 18, and i'm living in Norway, so it might take some time. but when i get the tatoo i will be shure to post a picture.

Carles In reply to snorrefolke [2014-12-25 04:53:14 +0000 UTC]

Cool.

I am sorry, but I have too few contacts with Norway to be able to advise you on a good artist. In France, Germany or the US, it would have been easier for me.

Where exactly are you living in Norway ? I can always check if an illustrator friend knows someone who would fit.

Best wishes.

I love art of the World Tree~~~ This is a beautiful work based on it! I didn't notice the ouroboros at first either - very cool way to interpret Jormungand!

Sorry about that, this has been a wild year.

Happy holidays.
