This dragon tattoo design was composed with the muscle lines and movement of the arm in mind.
The dragon's body was arranged to coil from the shoulder through the elbow and down toward the forearm, with red energy and a swirling flow moving through the piece.
Rather than simply making the dragon large, I focused on how it would move with the curves of the body once placed on skin.
Through the repeated scales, the turning body, and the flow of fire and wind, I wanted the dragon's energy to feel alive on the arm.
팔 전체의 근육 라인과 움직임을 고려해 구성한 용 도안입니다.
용의 몸이 어깨에서 팔꿈치, 전완으로 이어지는 흐름을 따라 감기고, 붉은 기운과 회오리의 방향이 함께 이어지도록 정리했습니다.
이번 작업은 용을 단순히 크게 보여주는 것보다, 몸에 새겼을 때 팔의 굴곡과 함께 움직이는 느낌을 중요하게 봤습니다.
반복되는 비늘, 굽이치는 몸통, 불과 바람처럼 흐르는 붉은 기운이 팔 위에서 하나의 움직임으로 보이길 바랐습니다.
