'Aye.' It's a good word. I think. More a whole attitude than a word, really. With lots of meaning in it, too. A bit of 'yes' and a bit of 'well fuck' and maybe some 'we're all in this together.' So a word to some up the Malazans. <Sunrise>

Looks a lot better than I imagined, I was just thinking it would be a little square picture, but that looks amazing!

Epic tat.

Icarium Kalam, you have motivated me to get off my ass and get down to designing my own Malazan tattoo. I've been kicking it around for over a year but enough of that time to get down to business

Yeah, I agree I was initially skeptical....but that is so supremely badass! The idea worked REALLY great, and whoever said it is right...to those who aren't fantasy fans, it is a sweet ass half sleeve tattoo!

Good on ya mate!

Mad Props.

I second this!

That looks freaking awesome.

I've been wanting to get a tattoo for ages but could never really decide on what. Now if I found a wicked design that depicts something from Malazan I would be all over it.

Thanks again guys. I think designing a tat would be great but I'm no artist so I wouldn't know where to begin. I think the Bridge Burner emblem would be cool but I think I would have to have Eriksons input on it. I was thinking originally of getting the picture for Karsa riding away with the 2 deragoth heads being pulled behind him. But I really like what I did instead. This shit is addicting though I have to say. I'm so ready for more.

I'm not generally a fan of even the concept of tattoos, but...dang, man, that is beyond amazing!

"Here is light. You will say that it is not a living entity, but you miss the point that it is more, not less. Without occupying space, it fills the universe. It nourishes everything, yet itself feeds upon destruction. We claim to control it, but does it not perhaps cultivate us as a source of food? May it not be that all wood grows so that it can be set ablaze, and that men and women are born to kindle fires?"

Grey shirt was one sitting and the red was a second sitting of color. Once the greenish part is done he is going to go back in with some more yellows. Didn't get a whole lot done cause I was a wuss and could only handle about 2 hours at a time. I'm excited to get the field filled in and get Karsa's sword colored in. I have another sitting July 21st.

I don't normally post on the site, just browse and check things out every now and then.

But holy shit, that is amazing. I myself have started on one that I hope to be at least half as epic as yours is.

I want to do something about Deadhouse Gates as I think Coltaine and his story is so heartbreaking and courageous that it has to be done.

So I started with the crow as a shouldercap, and will then do a half sleeve with the fall of Coltaine somehow. Crows in the background, maybe Coltaine crucified underneath and the whirlwind from the cover of Deadhouse Gates faded in the background.

anyway, here is the start, Im going back for a quote in the next couple of months. Money has been tight since I started, its taken me a while to save!
