A simpler tribal design this time... I wanted to try out more white space instead of the detailed, near-solid designs I've done so far. This was intended to be more impressionistic than my other designs. Yet it almost appears as if it needs something...but I can't put a finger on it.

Done June 5, 2003 in pen.

UPDATE: As per some comments and suggestions (thank you!), I've added claws to the picture. I think it looks complete now.

I've loved everything that I've seen so far in your gallery. (not much time, so much great art *sigh* )You truly do have such a unique style that its so wonderful. As to what its missing......perhaps claws.

They could really accent the wings and flames....maybe look as if its reaching to grab at the dinner its just cooked lol.

:-) Krystal Tyler replies: "Y'know, I thought of that while drawing it, but I didn't put them in for some reason...and I don't remember what that reason was! lol! Thanks!"

Claws...or perhaps a general idea of where the torso would be...I dunno, depends on just how impressionistic or whatever you wanted this to be...Wow...

The picture needs more definite shape in the back because it is hard to tell what way it is pointed but as all your work it is most excellent.

I don't think it needs anything. It's wicked

I've been looking for an original dragon tattoo design... would you mind if I used this? Pleeeeeease?

:-) Krystal Tyler replies: "Glad you like it so much!! And nope, I don't mind if you use it. I'm flattered you want it as a tattoo! :-]"
