The Shrouded Saint

Ramon's collector is putting a full sleeve on his right arm, and he picked Ramon out of the portfolio for realism across different skin textures. The sleeve is built around family: portraits of his mother and his cousin are planned further down, with their eyes tattooed at the wrist. Ramon started at the top with a shrouded skull under a rayed halo, then set a winged figure below it so the two read as one scene down the shoulder. He's working around existing tattoos on the inner forearm, which is why the sleeve is going in panel by panel. Two sessions so far of an estimated five to seven. By Ramon Rodrigo.
