 How's everybody doing welcome back to my channel this week? I'm gonna be doing something that I have never done before and I am excited because it is completely the opposite of what I Specialized in so I'm definitely pushing myself out of my comfort zone And I ended up making an exception for this piece because it reminds me of my childhood and I feel connected to this piece So with that being said, let's get this day started. Let's go Alright, so this is what happened. So there was some miscommunication with my client and he thought that He was gonna fly in Sunday so he can get tattooed Monday and After some situations that happened in Chicago with all the snow going on Flights were getting canceled. So he didn't know if he can purchase a ticket for Sunday So he can get tattooed Monday. So I suggested Tuesday because I had that they open as well just in case So he was and I suggested to fly in Monday so he can get tattooed Tuesday and There was a lot of back and forth and there was some miscommunication So He you know, he got to the shop yesterday and I got a whole bunch of calls from the shop he was trying to get in contact with me because he was already there and Man, it was insane. It was hey, it was it was a disaster So anyway, it's long story short now. He flies back today at 7 p.m. So I have to finish it today So right now it's like five in the morning. We're gonna get started super early. There's a lot of time I'm not worried about the time, but you know, we had to start way earlier, you know Now it's okay. It's okay. This is what happens. You just got to be flexible It's got to be flexible. You've got to go with it. Go with the flow. So I'm excited though. It's gonna be an insane piece. So Yep, it's a different kind of vibe Yep, it definitely feels Different being here this early All right, so this is the setup for today So I'm doing super campiones today. Uh, I've used to watch this since I was a little kid Uh, I never was into anime in general. Uh, I was never into like, you know, dragon ball z yugioh But the one anime I used to watch when I was a kid and I used to intrigue me was los super campiones And for my client to be wanting that and asking me to do it, it's insane to me So that's why I'm stepping out of my comfort zone today because I'm willing to compromise for this piece, you know And uh, and we're gonna go all in So, uh, for the first character his name is uh, oliver oliver atom And I'm gonna be using this palette here, which is let me read it to you. It's from revolution. Uh flesh lights then I have Un bleach white flesh medium Lorne flesh medium So this is my palette for just oliver atom Comment down below if you have watched the super campiones and if you have Dang man when I was I watch a couple episodes just to kind of refresh my memory and uh, man It brought back so many memories. I was in Mexico. I was living in Mexico at this time I lived in Mexico since I was six months old till I was 12 And I used to watch this, uh, uh, the super campiones, you know, eating cereal, you know late at night. It was Good memories good memories next, uh, this is gonna be for, uh, benji, which which is the goalie And we have steve, uh, which I might be using the same palette Um, they have very similar skin tones That's why I decided to use this too, which is light flesh and flesh tone medium for the, uh, uniform I'm gonna be using this too here My contrast and my highlights give it that, uh, that dimension and this radiant is navy blue and this one is royal blue and um, this is for the For the field for the grass make it look like it's grass for my Needle selection, like I said, it's out of my comfort zone So I'm probably gonna have a few different kind of type of needles until I find the one that I feel more more comfortable with I'm gonna take out a three round liner. I'm using a tecbalt higher level And let's take out a three round liner All right, let's do a seven seven round liner, uh to pack in I'm thinking 14 Shader round shader. I'm gonna try that out. See how that feels. I'm gonna do a 14 round shader and a 14 round liner Just to, you know, have options just in case an 11 curve mag. Let's do that All right, and that's gonna be my setup for today That's more Oh Domingos No zero In So first time I'm gonna be doing with this piece is uh doing the whole entire outline of the whole entire piece So outline first and then I'm gonna start packing in all the colors that I need What I don't want to keep in mind is how to make the the characters pop as much as I can Considering the skin tone and stuff like that and I'm not doing anything on the background. I'm keeping it simple I'm keeping it, you know, straightforward making it look like it's you know, it's it's the actual, uh anime Um, so yeah, perfecto muchachón I'm a little resio When I do my tattoos that I usually do with the whole bunch of texture with the whole bunch of contrast highlights I never really noticed when my client moves or none of that But with this piece since I'm doing nothing but line work I notice every single movement every time my client will move his head when he would talk when he would move His hands like I would feel like my client was moving so much and it was kind of complicated You know, because it would take me twice as long to even um Execute a line, but I was being very patient. I was working with my client a whole bunch of communication I was letting him know hey, I'm about to pull a line So make sure to relax your body and I'll let you know, you know, just let me pull this line and then you can move What I wanted to do with benji, which is the goalie of uh, the show I wanted to take my time and really, uh, make it look like there's a net behind him And in the background, I wanted to incorporate like the crowd of the stadium So I'm going to be freestyling this, you know going back with my grays my black my flesh tones and start creating shapes Like if there's people in the background As you can see here, I'm starting to do little dots with my flesh tones With different kind of flesh tones some a little bit darker some medium some very light That way I can start creating like the illusion that there's faces around As in right now, I decided to pull out my seven round liner so I can start incorporating Uh, some hair to the faces and start giving it more of a shape And I'm just freestyling, you know, there's not a specific order that I'm doing this and it's not a specific purpose How I'm doing it. I'm just going with the flow because I definitely know that this part of the piece is Is what's going to make the character stand out So I'm taking my time and really picturing everything to make sure that everything is Standing out, you know with the right contrast highlights and details So doing this piece was definitely extremely challenging for me just because it's not something I specialize in, you know It requires a whole different technique which I was not prepared for I mean, I knew I could do it I just didn't know how hard it was going to be like the process the Navigating through the whole entire thing, you know, because it didn't have any texture It didn't have any contrast. It didn't have anything that I usually do on a daily basis, you know, so Man doing line work. It was hard And I was asking around my my co-artists because some of them they specialized in line work And they also do anime tattoos and some of them they just have some crazy lines in there So I was asking I was like, well, you know, give me your opinion. What do I do here? What do I do there just to kind of have a better understanding of what I was doing Plus my client was in pain. So he needed to readjust his body constantly He needed to get up and move around and if I was doing one of my Tattoos with texture, I wouldn't mind but the fact that I was doing line work. He made it Oh so hard for me to Pull the line, you know, I had to wait for him to relax his body and I'll go back in, you know It was also very hard for me to record as well because I was so concentrated that I didn't even think about Pulling out my camera and putting in different angles and I forgot my cables at home To recharge my my my microphone. So I didn't even have microphones towards the end So I couldn't record a few things me explaining So and I don't think I would I would want to do it again I don't think I would want to do a full anime tattoo again but It got me an idea it kind of gave me an idea to kind of try and maybe mix realism with cartoons, you know, um Kind of like cartoon network Kind of or nicolodium, you know those kind of cartoons with full realism And and put them together. So I might give that a try So stay tuned with my website on my drop a design soon If I get an idea and it's going to be a priority design So if you choose that you get to skip the line and get booked super fast And I already dropped four designs on my website. So go to my website click on priority designs And you get you're gonna find four designs That I already put out and if you pick one of those four Then you get booked super quick and you get to skip the line But this is how we start 2023, you know, I'm gonna be pushing myself out of my comfort zone as much as I can So I'm gonna try to learn new things. I'm gonna try to keep pushing myself And I hope everybody's doing the same thing dropping the comments. What is your new year's resolution? And let's make it happen. So if you're a tattoo artist, I hope we learned something from this video And if you're a tattoo enthusiast, I hope you were entertained. Thank you so much for watching I'll see you guys next week.
