NOTICE: Any and all entries will belong to me, I don't want entries for something so personal to be used for anything else even if you don't take home first place. I will award a prize to everyone that enters for this "inconvenience" of sorts, but only prizes for the first three placements will be listed in the thread. Do not enter if you're not in compliance with this.

Alright, so I'm getting my hip tattoos on Saturday and even though I have a design planned already and trust my tattoo artist I still want to explore more options just in case I fall in love with another design more. n__n
ABOUT THE DESIGN:
NOT NEGOTIABLE:
*One crescent will be facing up and one facing down, two separate moons because it's two tattoos.
*They MUST be symmetrical and they MUST both be the same size.
*When drawing make sure you fill a canvas area of around 5 inches x 5 inches so that when it's printed the details won't be lost because your canvas was too small... art can be scaled down but scaling up causes deterioration of details.
WANTS:
*Bold designs.
*The one facing up to represent light, I was thinking gold tones.
*The one facing down to represent shadow, I was thinking purple tones.
DON'T WANT:
*Faces.
*Anything overly intricate, less is more, details can be put inside the moon but any outside should be minimal.
LIKES (with image examples):
*Color Gradients, especially >> this <<.
*Moons that are almost completely closed, like >> this << as well as those that have designs inside.
*Dot work, sort of like >> this << incorporated somehow.
If you have any questions post them here, I won't be able to check PMs. No extensions will be given for this contest because the deadline is the night before I get inked. I hope a few of you might try out, I look forward to seeing your ideas!
