Guild Wars 2

I have had this work done for a little over 2 years now, I still have a little bit more to go under my inner arm, near my armpit. But it’s very close to completion and I am really happy with the work. There are a few familiar faces in the work like Rytlock and Zojja.

I actually started this project around 6 months prior to the Guild Wars 2 release, I didn’t get this because I am a fan of the game or the series. I got this because Kekai Kotaki is a huge inspiration to me and one of my favourite artists of all time.

I have lost count of the exact amount of time but I do know it’s over 30 hours. I would say by the time it is completed and I am extremely happy, it will be closer to the 40 hour mark.

Kotaki is your favorite artist? I mean, he is good and all, and I really admire his work, but getting a sleeve of his artwork seems like a lot. I guess I’m asking why he inspires you so much? Are you an artist as well?

That’s impressive.

very kitten. much wow.

I guess, like most things, art is speculative and opinionated. I find Kotaki to be one of the best at what he does and I highly admire his work. I’m also very fond of my tattoo artist, so I’m overall happy with the ink.

Dood, seriously good ink. The shading is amazing. +1

Gorgeous!

Art is subjective, despite what the worlds media tries to make us believe. Trying to explain why you love an artist (be it music or pictures) is difficult. A bit like trying to explain why you fall in love with one person and not another maybe.

That must’ve cost you a pretty penny.

Dude! That is incredible, you must be well pleased
