535/731 - Tutu and Tattoo
Well, here it is in all of it's gorgeous glory. Jason, you were right, it was a ventricle! :) Alright, so backstory. My mom raised me essentially alone. She and my father divorced when I was barely a few months old. He pretty much wasn't in my life, very occasional visits, and a phone call on my birthday and Christmas, in which he'd usually talk to my brother more anyway.

I drew reference from a human skull, marigold flowers and roses, plus also from traditional tattoo designs for the heart, crown, ribbon, butterflies and birds. Some freehanded candles, blossoms and two stars finish it off. I took it all into Illustrator and created clean linework - then hand rendered the colour with pencils (took approx 8 hours non stop). Once I get my silly programs working again I'll clean it up in Photoshop - the skull actually has beautiful blue gradien.
