Borderlands 2 Fan Art I did for a friend :) She liked it so much I’m sure she’s probably shared it here already for her character ((blue-haired cutie on the right)) but I’d like to add it here on my profile as well! Hope you guys enjoy it as well!  Side note: This picture was first posted on my Deviantart 3 days ago. It just got taken down today due to “copyright” from another artist who claimed he owns Handsome Jack’s design ((he does not)), so I’ll be posting this and raising awareness about this drawing I did by hand myself, he cannot take my art down everywhere, I drew this all myself after all.  Here’s a highlight from the live stream this came from:  https://youtu.be/Q3GZErqcI9E

How to Make Quick and Easy Tattoo Sleeves

Got a cosplay idea but the character has lots of arm (or leg) tattoos? Don’t feel like painting on yourself with body paints or hunting down that horrendously expensive temporary tattoo paper? Here’s a quick tutorial for making tattoo sleeves using nylons and sharpie markers! 

Upsides: 

- Supplies are cheap! You may even have many or all the supplies you need right at home.

- Quick and not very messy! No paint is involved, and sharpie marker dries instantly. 

- Easy! Great artistic skill not required.

- They move with your skin! People have legit thought these were real tattoos. From a distance, yes, but I had guys at cons with actual ink on their arms come over to compliment on my full (fake) sleeves. 

- You get to eat pringles! More on that later. 

Downsides:

- They are delicate. Nylons get holes in them super easy and forearms run into stuff, lean against things, and generally make it hard for the sleeves to survive. But if you only need them for a weekend, that’s ok.

- I haven’t experimented too much, but unfortunately this technique probably doesn’t work for wearers with darker skin tones. Sharpie ink is transparent, so any color it rests on just multiplies and the tattoo won’t show up very well. You’ll want to go the fabric paint or body paint route to get the best bold, bright tats. 

- Can’t do white sections, because sharpie ink is transparent and doesn’t come in white. I leave them blank and they read OK, but the white areas will always be pink, tan, brown, etc. unless you dab in a little fabric paint, which will not be covered in this tutorial.

- Sharpie is supposed to be permanent marker, but on skin…it’s not. The ink will most likely wear off onto adjacent clothes. Not that big of a deal for me, as I tend to wear my tats with white shirts that can be bleached, but other shirts may not survive as well.

OK, let’s go! Here are your supplies: 

You’ll need a pair of nylons, scissors, tape, a set of sharpies, your designs printed out on 8.5 x 11 paper, some bracelets, and a can of Pringles. You can use any design you want, of course, but Here is the link to these fine Newt Kaiju tattoo designs. 

If your nylons have an undies part, cut the legs off and wear the undies on your head for the rest of the tutorial, if desired. Put the legs on your arm like so, and cut the toes off so you can slip your hand through. You can cut some of the top of the sleeve off as well, but don’t cut too much because you can’t put it back on if your sleeves are too short. 

Here are my creepy sleeves. Now for the pringles.

Tape your design template to the Pringles can. It doesn’t reach all the way around but eh. The Pringles can gives you a nice stable surface to draw on that is roughly the shape and size of an arm. It’s a little short, so just roll up the rest of the nylon above the workspace and adjust both template and nylon down when you get to working on that part of the sleeve.

Color with the markers! I recommend doing the colored areas first and then doing the black outlines on top of it, to avoid the black ink contaminating the ink pads of the lighter markers. Remember how that always happens to the yellow ones? Eww. Nylons are thin and slide around a bit, so it’s best to use short strokes and dotting to get the ink on.

Take the template off the Pringles tube, flip the paper to the blank side and put it back on again. The paper collects the extra ink, so it’s hard to see any missed spots. Now you can see any bits you may have missed. Fill them in for completion. Also, the paper doesn’t manage to wrap all the way around the Pringles can, so now is the time to free-hand a bit of the design where the template doesn’t reach. For Newt tattoos, that’s the back of the arm. 

When you’re all done coloring, put them on!

There’s a rough end to the tattoo right at the wrist, of course. Disguise where the sleeve ends and your skin begins with some pretty bracelets:

There we are, much better!

Now…you’re done! Have some Pringles!

[hollowedskin]

from a tattooist perspective: use the navy sharpie not the black or blue for your lines, they will look like healed black ink.

[hroethvitnir]

This is amazing. Particularly “if your nylons have an undies part, cut the legs off and wear the undies on your head for the rest of the tutorial, if desired.”

[ravenblade666]

Let’s start this off with my first actual character concept for my story. I do have a place to find the comic and it’s on webtoons under AEOLIAN. I have not posted this picture on Deviantart and it was the first I had done of my main protagonist of my comic. Hope you like it!

Random Boy

I think the cutest thing I have seen today has finally happened to me. I was at the mall this evening and sitting down with my mom, I notice this guy walk past us with his friend. He was thin, cute curly hair, and this big brown jacket. He was really cute and I honestly thought his jacket was really cool. I was already about to leave though but not before using the restroom. Leaving the hallway where the bathrooms were, I noticed that guy again with his friend. We made eye contact a little longer but I think I was the one to look away first. His friend kinda nudged him on the shoulder and moved his head in my direction, I guess talking to his friend about me looking at him. We made eye contact again before we were on opposite sides of a booth and couldn’t see each other anymore. I didn’t get to ask for his name and honestly, he looked really sweet. I feel awful for not approaching him. Maybe someday I’ll see him again.

Green Day lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong wrote this about his father, who died of cancer on September 1st, 1982. At his father’s funeral, Billie cried, ran home and locked himself in his room. When his mother got home and knocked on the door to Billie’s room, Billie simply said, “Wake me up when September ends.”

So I’d be angry too if people kept this shit up every single year.
