I posted a version of this thread in General Discussion but it got no attention so I'm thinking it would probably be better and more suited here.
Okay, i've been thinking about what i want my next tattoo to be. i've come to the conclusion that i'm seeing as how i'm a HUGE Carolina Panther fan (and love the team as a Boston fan loves the Red Sox) I need a panther tattoo (plus panthers are pretty f'n cool anyway).
However, i don't want to just get a tattoo of the Carolina Panthers logo (cus thats just tacky and unoriginal in my opinion) and i don't want some panther design that 10000000 people already have (cus lots of panther tattoos look the same).
So what i came up with is I want a tattoo that looks like a real panther - like an airbrush or painting. However, when someone looks at it (especially a Carolina Fan) then they will know exactly what it represents. So i played around on photoshop and came up with a concept of kind of what i want:

It's a real panther but in the "Shape" (or a very similar shape) of the Carolina logo. I'd like this guy to look a little meaner and i'm thinking MAYBE have a tint of the carolina blue in there somehow ... like, i dunno, possibly have it look like theres some sort of blue light source or something.
Anyway, i'm not a very good sketch artist/painter so i was hoping maybe some of you guys out there could draw me up something (better than this image) i can take to the tattoo artist and say "Make me something that looks cool like this". I mean, i know i could take this image i came up with and explain it to the tattoo artist and he could do his on thing based on that - but i'd like to see what you guys can come up with if anyone wants to give it a shot.
