House Stark (Photo Heavy)

This week its House Stark in continuation of my Game of Thrones month.

Whole Hand

 Let me start by saying, I had a ton of trouble getting the Stark dire-wolf  right, they either looked to fluffy or like they were grinning as opposed to snarling.

Main Four.

 I chose to do some geometric patterns on the ring and index fingers because mimicking the wolf's fur would have made it too busy, and I like the geometric/asymmetrical french going on. The snow on the pinky is because of all the snow in Winterfell and obviously the wolf is the Stark sigil.

Thumb close up.

This one is the best looking wolf, most likely due to the large size of my thumbnail.

The colours I used are: China Glaze "First Mate", with "Wet Cement" by Sally Hansen. I used my trusted Speedball ink and dip nib pen for the black outlines.

If you would like a set of these, as either false nails or nail wraps, send me an email.

Have a Happy Monday!

"948 First Mate" by China Glaze with "460 Wet Cement" by Sally Hansen

This weeks paws, entertaining myself with stamping.  This time I used Bundle Monster plates: BM206 and BM20. The base colour is "948 First Mate" from China Glaze, with the stripes stamped using "460 Wet Cement" from Sally Hansen's eXtreme Wear collection. As you can see, the stripes didn't turn out so well.. and I had to re-stamp since my nails are bigger than the designs on the stamping plates.

These will probably be changed out when I have a chance.

Bull Skulls and Bones

Just a quick little sketch I did today out of boredom. Took approx 30 min.
I have a strange thing for bleached out animal skulls, as well as bones in general, a lot of my future
tattoos will involve bones in some form; from my spine being traced to my rib-tree.
I don't know, perhaps I'm strange and deranged for finding bones comforting.
