Tattoo Design Brief
Hello!
Looking to design a sleeve tattoo in a black and grey, somewhat sketch style.
I'm trying to depict a grim dark version of the scene from Norse Mythology where Odin trades his eye to Mimir for a drink from the well of knowledge.
The foreground scene should include a close up of Odin's face, with a gruesome empty/bleeding eye socket, a stoic expression, and the ravens Hugin & Munin flying away from Odin (down the arm). The eye socket and the ravens could be integrated with lightning (a tiny splash of blue is fine here), potentially exhibiting the Ansuz rune.
The background of the scene should include a shadowy Mimir, coveting the eyeball, the well itself, and the drinking horn falling or rolling away. Potentially on the back of the arm.
The entire scene is in a cave/dark room under/inside of Ygdrassil, the roots of which could frame the piece (coming down from the shoulder).
I'm no mythologist, artist or tattooer. Please feel free to adjust/provide feedback that would make this a more realistic or better piece across any dimension.
Also, please be an enthusiast of the story. It's a great scene that I hope someone will love bringing to life.
