Description Trying out the new tiny pen I got Size is A4.

Again a little obsessiveness on display, haha. Aiming for some symmetry and then going off on little asymmetrical tangents, balancing them out later in various ways (hence the title). I was imagining the different levels spinning around in different directions and at different speeds.

Still loving Victoriana. I guess it can be viewed alongside my other work "Mark of Ornament" as a continuation of that theme. However, it's like a logical next step with some steampunky and time-themed imagery in this one....clocky...hand things...cogs and gears etc.

Anyway, I'm pretty happy with it for what it is - hope you like it too!

Saved to my very limited favs. Very neat. Plus, I spent another 20 minutes reading every one of the comments because I found your responses so... entertaining? Not quite the right word, but enjoyed reading them. You sound cool!

This has prompted me to go over them myself and geeeez have I said "haha" a lot. I'm really fighting the urge to write it right now. Anyway, thank you!

It was a awsome inspiration, now I have something based on this one on me, as a tattoo

How fantastic! Thanks for sharing Any chance I could see a picture of it? I love to see photos of any tattoos people get done of my work, even if it's only based on it.

This would make for a great tat. If only I felt that I could find an artist who could do great, tiny, detailed work like this.

Simanion In reply to kevho8461 [2014-04-22 11:49:36 +0000 UTC]

Thanks man. Yeah, tell me about it - I can design my own tattoos but I don't trust anybody to do a good enough job on it. I don't know how I could go on if I had a wonky line on my arm...forever. Haha.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

kevho8461 In reply to Simanion [2014-04-22 13:09:40 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I hear ya. Well, just remember, it's probably very hard to draw perfect lines with a vibrating pen that is cutting into flesh. Even with tracing, it's pretty much a "get it right the first time or never" thing. Ppl probably won't judge your tat nearly as hard as you will. They'll probably think its super cool, even if it has minor imperfections here and there. That's been my experiences with it anyway. 

Now, if it looks like shit, it looks like shit lol

Simanion In reply to kevho8461 [2014-04-22 14:51:50 +0000 UTC]

Haha. Yeah I guess so. It's kind of the nature of the whole thing too - the fact that it's done by a human on the spot. I wonder if in the future, machines that essentially "print" designs onto your skin will take over tattooists. Do you have any tattoos?

kevho8461 In reply to Simanion [2014-04-22 17:55:29 +0000 UTC]

I do. Just one. And that would be sick. Would love that. Would probably get a lot more if that kind of thing happened. Hell, most ppl probably would.
