Would you mind if I used this to help me try and learn to make tribal designs? It's not for a Rune, and it won't be much like yours of course,,,

Seeing as this artwork is currently gifted to another user and from my view as the original artist, I would prefer that my artwork does not get traced/modified/edited/copied in any manner. You would have to provide more details about your intentions in "using" the piece. Remember the Creativity Rules found here. Thank you for understanding!

No I wouldn't use or edit it, or trace, I just mean for help with the style, since the style isn't exactly yours. Tribal.

Oh geez, if you're talking about the style of tribal - of course tribal is not mine! It's been around for thousands of years before I was even born!
I'm still not sure what you're asking though. As in a reference?

[Champagne]

Yes, I tried google but I just couldn't figure it out, it was really complicated and not was I was looking for, but yours with the swirls is nice and simple ouo

I don't have an issue with it being referenced. I would just prefer that the Creativity Rules are followed (e.g. no intentional and/or deliberate copying).

[Champagne]

Oh no, I don't do that. I just like the swirls and the thick outline and stuff.

If you like the simple style, try just drawing out the block design of the creature you're rendering and then use the erase tool to erase out the designs. Or vice-versa, where you draw the outline and then fill in with the pen. It doesn't have to get complicated. I've noticed that it's popular with many of the tattoo artists to use swirls at the creature's joints.

Thanks for the tips!
