“Orth mer af orthi, orths leitathi” “Word after word, gave words to me” I think this one’s relatively close to the final design, actually. Plan for a paired set of forearm tatts, with the two lines from the Havamal, written in Younger Runes. #inktober #inktober2022 #runes

Here’s a bit of fan-art for one of my favorite characters from one of my favorite webcomics, ZEBRA GIRL, what can be found at zebragirlthecomicseries.com, by the inimitable Joe England. I mean, what’s not to love about a homicidal rabbit demon? #inktober #inktober2022 #zebragirl

The Daemon-self and the Tree of the Inner Fire. So, yeah, this is what I look like in the inside when I’m meditating in the crossroads temple, chanting “IO HEKA IO HO” a hundred times. I’m sure that’s normal, right? #inktober #inktober2022

“Herein is said ye King of Dreams…” Brushwork is goddam hard, yo. Getting a slightly better hand with it, but still. #inktober #inktober2022 #sandman

Haegl hardens, Hardships hail Yet another runic bit. Think I’m getting a decent handle on the diagonal-to-vertical intersections, simple enough for the smaller format, but intricate enough to work for the volume effect I’m going for. #inktober #inktober2022 #runes

The Wolf and the Wyrm. Just a quick experiment with Urnes-style beast-forms. I like the Urnes flow, but it’s hard to get my hands to do that flexible swirly interlace. And it needs more ornamentation lines. #inktober #inktober2022

Eat Your Kings Yet another of my endless reams of tattoo plans. Still not quite there, but it’s getting closer. More of an Old English beast-form vibe with this one. Anarchist sun-eating wolf-beasts unite! #inktober #inktober2022 #runes

Another runic bit; this one’s a bindrune of Eoh and Ger, the yew-tree and the turning year. A cosmological meditation bindrune, more than an operational working. Still not completely happy with the middle bit, but I’ll figure it out. #inktober #inktober2022 #runes

Look, it’s not that I don’t like Zuggtmoy as a “big bad”, it’s just that she doesn’t fit the whole Elder Elemental theme, yanno? So, should the crew ever make it to the bottom of the Black Fane/Temple of Elemental Evil, this is who they’re gonna meet. #inktober #inktober2022

Hail, Agathodaimon, shining serpent soul, be with me now…another bit of Alexandrian cultus that’s crept into my esoteric work. #inktober #inktober2022 #agathodaimon

Gar God-spear, Cease-less Seeker… another of the runes that looms large in my legendarium. I’ve been tinkering with this design for years; still not quite there, yet. #inktober #inktober2022 #runes

More DnD nonsense. Ebric the Relentless gets some cuddles from Lugrasha Red-Arrow. #inktober #inktober2022

Thorn threatens, a a woeful thicket…another of my long-time favorites. Working out the interlace on the intersection of the triangle and the line was a little complicated, but I think this solution works. #inktober #inktober2022 #runes

Tir’s troth, a trusted token… Yet another in what’s turning into a long series of runic images. Tir’s another of my favorite runes, the single shining pole-star of guidance and discipline, the leavings of the Wolf. #inktober #inktober2022 #runes

Here’s another of the planned rune-stave tattoo plans I’ve got. Oss, oration’s origin, the mouth from which wisdom flows. Also got a key image worked in there. With this and the torch imagery in the Cen image, I’ve got some Hekatean vibes going as well. #inktober #inktober2022

Another in my endless series of tattoo plans. Cen, the cracking torch of the Old English Futhorc, one of the rune-stages that’s closest to my heart and mind. #inktober #inktober2022 #runes
