Help me design a tattoo

Almighty Beanchild · 19-07-2009, 05:57 PM

Sup Hyper arty types,

I posted this on that OTHER forum but they are all bad people full of hatred so I got no helpful advice.

I want to get a tattoo on my forearm and the tatt I've wanted for a long time is an Atreides Hawk (from Dune). Problem is the basic description from the books is "a red hawk crest."

Some of the art I've found online:

The hawk without the background from the first one strikes me as okay, but I feel maybe I could get something better. So I was gonna put out a call to any arty-types I know to see if they want to design something to mar my flesh forever.

Basically I would like something with a stylised hawk, in red. I think House Atreides have a motto, "Here I am; here I remain." or you could work in the house name (Atreides obviously) if you wanted, I dunno. Go nuts :P If you don't care, don't bother trying. :P Or just offer an opinion or something.

Well it looks like an eagle if you squint and has the same effect.

Considering I'll be wearing it under a shirt almost constantly, pretty much anything will have the same effect. :P

Is the emblem prominent in the movie / TV series? Might be a good source of inspiration.

Eagle's are dodgy. Go for some other bird IMO
