Ok.. so and this is a doozie.. I'll have to work on it.. and serious as a heart attack.. I would prefer to be able to pay someone else to do it.. cause.. I'm not sure I have the skills.. I can not draw and I'm thinking part of it need's drawing.. So picture this..

- Dark marron to black background... shadows of flames
- foreground..
- chest, shoulders and head of a man.. but what you see is
- right shoulder /right chest covered... wing very dim
-left shoulder/ chest ( think heart ) tattoo of a dragon and dolphin.. hint of wing
- head turned down and looking left.. windblown/ wetish hair.. covering most of face.. only hint's of structure..
( hints are because I don't like the idea that "I" am telling people how my characters look exactly.. but leave's much to the individual's imagination)
- around his neck a chain with a "coin of Syracuse" pendant... mostly covered with hair
- hair is long, black.. and has a couple of braids in it.

And yes.. I can see this clear as day in my head... I need an original tattoo design.. and well that takes drawing skills! I can find enough male model picture to get the body.. hair might be tricky.. but I think I can blend a female style in.. I may have to come up with something a bit easier..

Well, it sounds really cool! Yeah, a tattoo would have to be drawn. Check at deviantart.com - think there's some tat artists there, might be able to do something for you not too expensive.

Will do.. I have an account... I sent an email to my son to see if he can come up with something first.. Help out the poor starving college kid... lol ( he's not starving, I send him enough to keep him in kibbles-n-bits )

Soo not the hair style I want.. nor the tattoo.. or wing type.. got to find them all.. The wing's I had downloaded, but they aren't anymore.. weird, but I'll download it again..

The Blue background is just cause I wanted to see.. the Red is closer to what I would be using, No border though.

What you may want to post to deviant is "I need a tat artist for a book cover." Give a short précis of the cover art and what you envision for the tat, and see what happens.

Is that what it is? It looked familiar, but I couldn't place it and the picture had no caption.

I'll give it a couple days for deviant... I want to see if I can actually do the person, there isn't a hair that I could find with Skyrim that will work.. so it's use a long Style and then add.. which mean's a photo of hair.. and really I should use a photo of a real man.. but have to find one that has the muscles of someone that swing's a sword around.. without the bulk of a body builder.

So I may decide to see if someone can do the whole thing, but I don't want to put in just for the tat.. if all I have someone doe the whole thing.

Well, it's not really "Shangri-La" from Hilton's book (or the movie) - but it's what I envisioned from the first look but couldn't remember what it reminded me of!

Yeah, this might be a case of working with an artist. Pricey though.

Yeah well... Michael owes me $500.. so $250 for the ISBN's.. and the rest towards the cover.. He just doesn't know it yet.. He borrowed the money to get something he wanted and I told him that I would need it back.

But first.. I will see what I can do..

Oboy. Well, yeah, find it. Then - um - deal with paybacks.

Paybacks are a BITCH.

Yes... yes they are. I don't ask Michael for much, I don't want much.. but I darn well expect to get what I ask for, specially if I lent the money out that I could have used.
