Finally, after 5+ years of having a poor lonely robot on my back with no frame of reference or any kind of ‘story’ to it…
(Ix the Robot with preliminary designs in marker – click all to enlarge!)
…I took my book of Sci Fi pulp fiction covers into King of Fools tattoo to let Ronan sketch out a cover…
for a relatively large back piece.
Originally the Spaceman was suppose to be firing upon the robot but Ronan switched it out so it looks like he’s protecting him, which I think works a lot better.
Love the detail. The “flames” coming off the robot will be blended into the dark navy blue background of space. Can’t wait for the colour to be added in 4 weeks (sooner if he gets a cancellation!)

Um… ouch.
Ronan charges $150/hour. Those lines cost me just over two hours of his time. I think I’ve got another 4 hours in his chair over the next couple months.
How much $?
I do miss it. Check your email. With this whole update-bricking-hacked-phones thing going on, I may be fucked.
Hey, the iPhone has been received (Bill signed for it today). I’ll try to get a “reservation” with tech support for Monday (yeah, fuck you, Apple). Hopefully this won’t take too long, I know you’re going through withdrawl and miss your techbaby.
Two disposable razors in total. Looks like I’m waxing my back next summer.
So, did they need to use a weedwhacker to shave your back?
Nice design, looks like an “Amazing Fantasy” cover from the ’50s.
oooh pretty! and. commence itching…….NOW!
Wow. The hair really adds to the piece. Kind of a looks like a meteor shower.
I always wanted a tattoo of a beaver on my ass. I thought it would be clever to shave around the outside so it would be dimensional and fluffy. I still may do that one day.
