Bear Claw

bear-claw

Drawn for my boyfriend for many reasons, with a couple of little personal quirks incorporated.

He may get it done soon, although he needs to save money for his car, hehe. This is the first animal-related design I’ve drawn that is only made up of a small part of the animal. It was hard to start because I could find nothing on the internet to tell me whether bears had four or five digits. Once I’d done this, though, I was told their paws are quite similar to canines - as in they have would-be thumbs. Ah well, I still like it.

Major major updates to the site.

Hi, this is Ephe, just stopping in to list the various revamps you may have already seen and the few little things that are to come that will be cleaned up. =) The biggest thing you may have noticed is the overall design of the site. I updated to WP2.5 and the subsequent CP2.5 and with it I decided to make a graphical change for Rho. It resembles a retro style signage. The font will be cleaned up and changed to reflect this, as well as all the colors. I have to go through and change everything one by one so that puts a tiny damper on it. Made a new header, it actually moves! ^^ I told Rho I would make it so. I also have the avatars up and running, and if you have a Gravatar account and post a comment, it’ll show too! =) Also, made navigation way easier. Big ‘ole previous and next buttons.

The actual images will be back up very very soon, as soon as I resize them. I’m actually thinking about bribing Rho into actual scans but no promise. =P Links to all the pages will be up soon, with the same styling. Thanks guys, keep checking! =)

EDIT: Making a few color changes, changes to certain fonts here and there, header bar tweaking, etc.

EDIT(07/10): More troubleshooting, etc, header icon, nav icons, general messy things fixed.

Sadly not a post with a new design…

… the next design to be posted will be done once I get my pens from my sister who, unfortunately, lives in another country. (SEND ME MAH PENZ!)

Instead, this post is about my next tattoo which my adorable sister is helping me design - an honour for me as she has become quite creative and talented in random designs. I’m actually considering making this site a joint effort since her stuff needs to get out there too. This’ll be where she first hears of it too so everyone clap!

*Claps*

And now - a sneak peak - well more like just a rough idea - or indeed, a basic glimpse - at what my next tattoo will be like! (Forgive the asterisks, I can’t for the life of me find the shortcut for a star!):

…  Y se ven en su fondo sagrado
Cinco estrellas de pálido azul…

*                             *

*

*                             *

Now…  those small asterisks will be stars that are bigger, but not too big. We’ll post the design concept once she and I can work on it together, sometime in late March. It’ll be around then that I’ll be able to post my next solo design.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: The next design to be posted is a commission and thus CANNOT BE USED BY ANYONE OTHER THAN THE CUSTOMER. Even if she should choose not to use it, the design will remain reserved for at least one year before anyone else can request to use it.

The last thing I want, if my designs ever take off, is for everyone to get the same one done. The whole idea behind me trying this out is to provide customized, personalized and totally unique tattoos for anyone who wants it.

That is all. FAREWELL!

A special thank you…

… to Schuyler. He’s been working on my site while I’ve been busy without me even asking him to! *Loves Schuyler*

So, it came to me the other night that the easiest way for any random visitor to contact me should they be interested in a custom Rhobal™ tattoo, a subscription to my site and then leaving a comment would be best for now. Soon, I’ll be writing a questionnaire/form for anyone to fill in and send back to me so I can decide more easily whether or not I can do anything and if I can, the form will be asking for personal details like… interests and passions so that I can give myself a clearer idea about what should be in the design. Also, I’ll be asking which of the current samples is the most liked so that I can stick to that specific patterning as best I can.

Does that make sense? GOOD.

Kbaithx.

And so it begins!

and-so-it-begins

Dear Visitors,

My name is Rho and I will be your guide today. We will begin with - You, child! No elbows out of the windows! - ahem. We will begin with a brief explanation of this site.

As I said, my name is Rho and this is my website. The main purpose for it was to give myself a better method of getting my tattoo style out “there” you know, there! *Points* So I decided to copy my friend Schuyler’s idea (his site is over there, in the sidebar as “Broken Reploid” which is his very own webcomic, check it out!) and get my own website. So here it is, there’s still a lot to be done and the angel that is Schuyler has decided to help me with it.

Please visit the “About” page for more information on my style!

Those first few designs were done before this site was even a stirring sensation in the loins of my mind so they will be naught but samples. Some of them have been commissioned already (well, for free) by friends though, so keep a look out for the Firebat on someone’s bum! The idea is that if you like my style, you can request a custom tattoo just for you for a very, very inexpensive price (I’m a student, I know how desperately we must budget) but the prices will vary relative to the time limit you request. Obviously, if I don’t think I can do it, I will let you know and apologize profusely for my failure. I’ll even get down on my knees to kiss your feet, I swear!

So - damn it, child, ELBOWS INSIDE THE VEHICLE!

If I think of anything else, I’m sure I’ll harass all your eyes with it in another post.
