This painting took me about a week to do, I've been working on it on and off for a months. I was thinking about the Master and Slave challenge and wanted to create something different. I was always a slave to my past memories; always living in the past. So I set out to create an image that would reflect that and since drawing my portrait was just plain boring, I decided to incorporated some of the things that interest me the most. Girls, WW2 era and tattoos.
Initially I was going to draw a serpent or a dragon for the tattoo, but decided to just create something non distinct. I wanted it to represent various past memories, but it would have to be interesting. Anyway, that how I came about the piece. I'm not sure if I accomplished what I set out to do, but I thought I gave it a shot. Let me know what you guys think. BTW, this was done in Photoshop.
