Tattoo Design Brief
Hey there :)
I have a concept that I wish to have drawn; it's a picture of the imagery Victor Hugo describes in his last chapter of, “The Hunchback of Notre Dame, “The Last Embrace,” where two skeletons are uncovered below Notre Dame. These skeletons looked to be Quasimodo’s and Esmerelda’s, and Quasimodo appears to be clinging to Esmerelda to aid his broken heart and shelter whatever memories remain of him and her.
Before I share the quote I want you to know I plan on getting this picture tattooed on my left shoulder blade. I love the imagery of love and loyalty that’s demonstrated in his book. It’s simply paradoxical that words can’t express for me how impactful that imagery is yet Victor Hugo found the words to convey that idea. Thank you again.
Here is the quote:
in better company, they found among all those hideous carcasses two skeletons, one of which held the other in its embrace. One of these skeletons, which was that of a woman, still had a few strips of a garment which had once been white, and around her neck was to be seen a string of adrezarach beads with a little silk bag ornamented with green glass, which was open and empty. These objects were of so little value that the executioner had probably not cared for them. The other, which held this one in a close embrace, was the skeleton of a man. It was noticed that his spinal column was crooked, his head seated on his shoulder blades, and that one leg was shorter than the other. Moreover, there was no fracture of the vertebrae at the nape of the neck, and it was evident that he had not been hanged. Hence, the man to whom it had belonged had come thither and had died there. When they tried to detach the skeleton which he held in his embrace, he fell to dust.

Very Important:
I would like it to look organic when tattooed on my body, as if my shoulder is stone and they are buried in my shoulder. I would also like the position of the of the skeletons to be facing the same direction, Quasimodo holding Esmeralda. And I would like it drawn in style similar to the attached files below that shows are illustrations.
