That pink makes it. I wasn't too hot on it before, not that I ever thought it was bad, just didn't knock me out. But that pink really takes it, cool.

how do you all think this would look if the black was faded up a little into the green so it isnt a drastic line?

I think if you brought some of the black into the upper part and some green or pink into the lower it will read better.
Like black and pink eyes with some pink tips on the black lower limbs.
Keep it up

Absolutely love it! Nice job, I have the feeling that whoever commisisoned this is going to like it even more in person. Pics never seem to do vinyl justice.

nice custom .............. think a slight dab of pink
in the eyes would greatly enhance it.............
but either way - it's really a great job!
