Autumn To Winter

Finally finished this sleeve on my longtime client Melissa, who has a matching Spring/Summer sleeve which you can see elsewhere in my tattoos gallery. The forearm features a cat skeleton, more rotted frost-bitten foliage and more icicles. Did some refreshing on the top half, which was done a few years ago, but ran out of time and just re-saturated the deepest shadows. Some of the details could stand to be sharpened up but all in all, I'm psyched to call this awesome pair of themed sleeves 'done.' Thank you Melissa for sticking with it, putting up with the brutality, and in general being an awesome tattoo client.
