Artist's Comments

Close up of the dragon, painted by Nick Wolfe. The kanji in the golden sphere is "dragon" of course.


I was recently painted up by Master Body Painter Nick Wolfe [link] We've been friends for years but never had the chance to collaborate before now. Nick suggested something Asian inspired and I blurted out "Yakuza tattoo!" and the idea for this theme was born!

Nick did the painting in 4 and a half hours, using Diamond FX paint.
For those who don't take the time to read my Profile info, yes I am the model in these images.
I also bought traditional Japanese hair pins, and the over kimono was made by me, originally for my XXXHolic cosplay. I love being able to re-use costume parts haha.

"But that's another story," Ana explained briefly with a smile.

Senta blinked, disliking the fact that Ana always used that as a finisher for the main story. "You always say that, though!"

"That's another story too."

The face on that dragon is absolutely fierce. I love how the scales and hair seem to blend into one another making a lovely texture. And you can definitely see how well he mapped it out on your chest. IT gives a very nice perspective especially on the right arm of the dragon.

You can kiss your family and friends good-bye and put miles between you, but at the same time you carry them with you in your heart, your mind, your stomach, because you do not just live in a world but a world lives in you.

You definitely need to do more of these.

I like how he used the natural body shape to emphasize the painted dragon :) And the detailing is so awesome!! Is the word written in Japanese? At first I thought it was in Chinese (because of the words on your thigh) :lol:

Anyway, this is a wonderful project!
