Kung fu Challenge (with a twist)

[jayignorantz]

hey folks,

I'm looking to get a tattoo on the top side of my forearm of an oldschool kung fu character. I cant seem to find a design i'm happy with. I'm not the greatest drawer, so heres the challenge. Starting a battle for the best Kung fu character u can come up with. Any help appreciated...

Battle details

- Must be wearing traditional style clothing.. eg: Robes, Kimono or other Chinese styled clothing.. no modern day suits etc.

- Looking for the character to be drawn in a graffiti/comic type style.. exaggerated arms.. elongated fingers.. not too anime looking..

- May be in color or black and white..

- Think Pai Mei (from Kill Bill)... Drunken Master.. Shaolin Monks.. long beards and eyebrows.. u get my drift..

I know i ask alot..lol.. the rest is up to you.. bare in mind that it will sit from the top of my wrist to the bend in my arm somewhere, so arms and legs that are too spread out on the character wont work too well.. Thanx for your help in advance!

Let the battle begin!!

This sounds like a gig, not so much a challenge. This forum is to challenge other members to a specific topic, open to interpretation by the submitting artist.
you seem to know exactly what you want and need done for yourself-for your purposes.

Post this in the jobs area and offer some compensation, or else post it in the non-paying jobs section. Otherwise offer a prize or something...

drop me a pm, I can tell you what to expect.

Dunno...I figure the idea of getting your art tattooed on someones arm is pretty cool
(Not like I can rate, I'm unfortunately not professional yet)
