Howdy.
I'm looking to add some more ink on my arm, and I was hoping I could get some help from the Cafe. My situation is as follows - I'm a long way from home, operating on an ancient laptop, which can barely run MS Word, let alone Photoshop. I do obviously have PS at work, but I don't have the thing I need for this one, which is a drawing table.
I'm gonna get an image of an Arctic Loon on my forearm, since when you translate that into finnish, you have my last name. Also I have five nautical stars on the back of my forearm, which represent my family. This would complete my half-sleeve dedicated to my family.
The idea that I have is rather simple - to have an image of an Arctic Loon that's just rising from the water into flight (hope that makes sense :D ) with its wings open, and the waves would connect to the stars, making it flow nicely. I need help with drawing the bird itself. I've found some images that could be useful.
The loon taking off, this is the general idea of the tattoo, but it would be from the front (http://www.cohostrail.org/images/loon2.jpg)

Another one taking off (a big image) (http://lh4.ggpht.com/_QOtORreoRb0/SFD5Irk5kTI/AAAAAAAABv4/xtyWALF6osg/Storlom,+V%C3%A4rmland+juni+08.jpg)
I don't know what you can do with this info, and I can't even pay anything since I'm a poor student doing an unpaid internship.. but if some of you have way too much on your hands and want to help out, that would be much appreciated!
<edit> oh yeah, if you want to help and need some more info or just want to chat, you can add me on msn: sudaninkeisari at hotmail.com
