I think he is in need of some male companionship. Get in there buddy, pop some hemorroids.
dirk don't swing that way. He's a man's man. All rough and tumble, blowing shit up and building barns and stuff. He goes for the chicks, the thicker the better.

Sorry man.

Here is some lyrics to help you out.
:haaay: These have always been my fave lyrics::

I tell you how I feel
But you don't care
I say tell me the truth
But you don't dare
You say love is a hell
You cannot bear
And I say gimme mine
Back and then go there
For all I care
I got my feet
On the ground
And I don't go to
Sleep to dream
You got your head
In the clouds
And you're not at
All what you seem
This mind, this body
And this voice cannot be
Stifled by your deviant ways
So don't forget what I told you
Don't come around
I got my own hell to raise

I have never been
So insulted in all my life
I could swallow the seas
To wash down all this pride
First you run like a fool
Just to be at my side
And now you run like a fool
But you just run to hide
And I can't abide

I got my feet
On the ground
And I don't go
To sleep to dream
You got your head
In the clouds and
You're not at all
What you seem
This mind, this body
And this voice cannot be
Stifled by your deviant ways
So don't forget what I told you
Don't come around
I got my own hell to raise

Don't make it a big deal
Don't be so sensitive
We're not playing
A game anymore
You don't have
To be so defensive
Don't you plead me your case
Don't bother to explain
Don't even show me your face
'Cause it's a crying shame
Just go back to the rock
From under which you came
Take the sorrow you gave
And all the stakes you claim
And don't forget the blame

Every guy on this forum sleeps with men, you can't fool me.

Not dirk.

Or drool, but in his case its not from a lack of trying.

Ooo! I wanna see it!

I need to get to work on an orchid design for my next one. :(


There isn't anything concrete yet, except the layout. Like I told you before, I want to expand on my back work, and the pic below kinda shows how she measured the layout on Saturday. Depending on the design, the wings might have to come a bit farther out onto my upper arm, and the tail might extend down farther, but the head would have to stop right there are the collar line.

Design wise, I'm looking at some stuff this week, but due to my lack of artistic talent, I'm having a hard time picturing how any of the designs I've looked at would integrate in with the current peice. I think Meme's got some ideas though. She was talking about making it so that the existing one was like an overlay, and doing some shading/shadowing/light line work to make the phoenix look like a background. I'll see what we can think up this weekend. Overall, the structure of the phoenix will follow the shape of the existing peice, so wings outstretched, not the wings in an upward sweep like in many phoenix designs.


Edit, and I'm thinking that I should stick with black on the phoenix. Just do shading and thin line for detailing. Only color would be teh kanji.
