Indeed a clash of the titans. Nice to see two powerhouses going against each other. As usual both show what they can do...great entries. Although the first one tells a great story and is presented very well, I am also captured by the nice coloring on the second one with the freehand tattoo. Great stuff.

Nice scene as usual, Grimm, but the painting on Bugsda's Yakuza is outstanding ...!

Blimey! Thanks lads :) Sorry Grimm :D I hope I haven't cost you a shot at "da title"

I got a good tip from Darren Mathews for doing tattos. Add inks to the acrylic paint, it thins it while keeping the pigment high and it seems to flow smoother from the brush.

Well I've lead an evil life, so they say, but I'll outrun the Devil on judgement day.

I've recently experimented with a similar idea, but just with metallics.  I used (rather thick) Vallejo metallics and added GW Ogryn Flesh wash to thin it.  Flow was greatly improved and it gave a slightly worn/rusty appearance that I highlighted with the original colour.
