Is there anything you would specifically like included/excluded? Also, do you have an example of the art style you're looking for, or are you open to any art style?

Also, which part of your body are you wanting to get this done?

I am getting it on my right shoulder. And there isn''t anything that i want excluded or included except i want the letters CORPUS? in the tattoo somewhere. Other than that i am open to any design 

What size will the "canvas" area be?

like 4" x 3" its going on my right shoulder the one thought i had was a coat of arms or something like that

What are your views on my submission, do you think making the Corpus? wording so cryptic at the top of the graphic is okay?

I like the design a lot the corpus? Is cool being in the smoke id probably want to be able to make out the letters a bit more but so far your design is the most creative and on point with what I'm looking for thanks for the design

Thank you for the feedback. Let me know if you would like me to put some additional dark lines to show you how it would look for darker accenting or if it is good as is. I am assuming that you are using this as a template for the tattoo design to give to a tattoo artist.

I would like to add, even though I have to do this job for work to take care of my family. The real reason I changed from doing electrical engineering/nuclear engineering was to use my ability to illustrate to inspire and bring forth a vision that had meaning. In making a design for your contest, it gave me the opportunity to develop a design for that reason, for inspiration and for true meaning. I thoroughly enjoyed the story in the design brief, and I was glad that I was able to bring vision to your story. Here's to our families !!!

Sincerely,
Thomas
