Sketches for Vinyl Tatoos

 The following concepts are ideas for vinyl cutouts in a 'tattoo' format. 

The first sketch is of my initials, J.L, which is currently being used as maker's mark on my work. 

This emblem is something that I've drawn many times since childhood. The very first time I drew it, it was not long after playing The Legend of Zelda, Ocarina of Time. I've had a fondness for the iconography used in the game since, and I think I initially wanted to make a sigil that wouldn't look out of place in such a world.

This hammer is another video-game based icon, from the PC game Thief, The Dark Project. This was a game I played with my father; The hammer was a symbol that represented ideas that were worth challenging.

These roughly depicts a real tattoo idea I've been considering; the writers pen, drafting pencil, stylus. Each is a given type of control over media that I have spent many years experimenting with and learning.

These last four are reiterations of designs for a project I was going to attempt last year. Chess pieces re-imagined.

Some changes will occur when the drawings are drawn in Rhino, although the overall designs will remain the same.

Rhino Castle

This Rhino Castle was intended to be a turntable-like model, and while I had plans for extensive interior spaces, I feel that I need to become more familiar with the program to generate what I want.

A top-down view shows my overall idea; I wanted a degree of symmetry throughout the design.

 These pictures show the internal walkway, which cuts through each tower and the gatehouse.

Further improvements will include walkways between the main tower and the gatehouse upper floor, as well as some sub-structures between the outer walls and the main tower.

Overall, I didn't find Rhino to be as intuitive to use as Fusion360, but I know that will change with further exposure.
