New here, advice wanted

[jeremyfreeman8]

Hello all!

This is my first post here and I think you guys could offer some good advice. I'm currently working on two sleeves that are matching, but different in a way. One arm is going to be bright and colorful with flowers, fruit, and a possum; the other arm is essentially a matching, decayed version of the other arm in Black and White. The problem I'm running into is the filler between my tattoos. I was initially just thinking these leaves that the color artist does that I LOVE, but I was talking to my b&w artist and he doesn't think that it would be easy to depict leaves in a decayed state. So I come here to see if you guys have any ideas! Thanks 🙂 sorry if I messed my post up at all, it's my first time lol

Welcome! I don't have any ideas right off hand, but it's a very creative idea.

Posting up some pics of where you're currently at would surely help everyone see what you're describing.

I spoke to my b&w artist and he's actually been tattooed by that artist before!  I really like the idea and he said we could do it as branches, so I think you helped me crack the case! Thank you so much

Very glad to help!

She's moving to New Orleans (next month, I think). Looking forward to having some additional creative talent around here.
