It's time to up the quality ante. In this contest you will take tasteful images of the nude body or any part of the human body (I don't want to hear any complaints of a lack of source material) and use your image-editing program as if it were a tattoo needle. Read the rules below carefully so you don't have your image removed.
The rules of this game are thus: Your image must contain nude skin, but the emphasis is to de-emphasize the nudity. This contest is about art. Not pornography. (No genitalia, pubic hair or nipples - you should photoshop them out if necessary so that people can browse this from work). You should create tatoos on your model's skin. You can add clothing, you can chop on whatever you like, so long as it looks like a tattoo. This contest is about your coloration and composition skills, nothing more such as in the themepost.
Please, DO NOT post WIPs in your artist's comments. Post them in the entry comments or forums after the contest has ended.
Have fun, be creative!, keep it clean, follow the Arena Rules please, and be careful to avoid using cliche. You will have 48 hours to submit so make your entry count! As always, quality is a must. We'll remove poor images no matter how much we like you.
BONUS: If you use Aviary.com to create your entry you will receive 10 free credits! If you win you will receive an additional 100 credits + A one year Green Plan Subscription to Aviary.com!!
