Steampunk gears again

A steampunk inspired thing again. I wanted it to look like gears visible under the skin, but maybe I I shouldn't have added black outlines to the cut-out shape.
And in the future we'll have moving inks, and could have tattoos with gears that actually turn \o/. Let me dream :p

    It's often tedious to draw, but worthwhile.

  7. I also got one of this. I had my friend hook me up with blacklight ink for the gears and the cutout edges to give it a 3d look to it

  8. I wanted to let you know that I used this design for a bit of leatherwork I pulled together a few weeks back. It's a fabulous design, and thank you for allowing others to use your work.

    1. Wow, you did a fantastic job! I think looks better on leather than on paper, and maybe than on skin :D

  10. I know that you have allowed people to use the design, but i would like to ask to take it a step further. I am a small-time author, and am writing a book that your picture would be perfect for. It will probably be on the cover, though I am considering using it inside the book. Either way, I would like to know if there is any problem you have with this, and if so, I will not use it. Your drawing shows rare talent, which is why I am asking you instead of just having someone else draw it for me.
