Hi,

Here's another shoulder tattoo piece inspired by the Kirituhi / Maori style. This custom tatoo design is for the upper shoulder and top of the shoulderblade.
It has nice complex lines and fills:

Kirituhi forearm tattoo design

Hi!

Here's a forearm tattoo design in Kirituhi style, it's a custom design for a customer from the USA.
He wanted an original Maori piece on his left forearm and a Kirituhi design on his other forearm.
The size of this tattoo sketch is 25 cm long and approx. 12 cm wide, narrowing down to 6 cm at the wrist.

First I started to draw the outline of the design and began filling the shape with flowing lines, koru curves and sharp edges.

I sent it to the customer to check if I was heading in the right direction. He really liked the first preview, so I could start on the fill with some tribal patterns.

Here are two pictures of the sketch, the outlines, the total sketch and finally the completed design.

maori inspired ribcage tattoo sketch

Hi,

After some busy weeks, doing multiple custom tattoo designs, I would like to show you some sketches of my latest works.
I created a Kirituhi design for the side of the body, on the ribcage.
My client asked me to combine some maori inspired style elements, with the initials of his nephews.

I'm not really fond of doing tattoos with lettering, but this one wasn't that hard.

Here are a few photographs of the design in progress.
In the first images the balance was too much focussed on the upper part of the tattoo design, so I redesigned it.

Finally here's a photo of the finished tattoo on the side of the body:

In a few days I will post another tattoo design, this time it's a forearm design in Kirituhi style.

Sketches spine tattoo design tribal style

Hi!

It has been a while since I posted my latest sketches, but here are a few of my new designs.
A customer from the UK asked me to do a small tattoo, Kiri tuhi style for the spine, just between the shoulder blades.

I came up with this sketch:

upper back tattoo spine maori style








Unfortunately I made the tattoo too wide, so I had to start a new sketch
(I finished this design for my own gallery, you can find it here, it's "Maori 117")

It was not exactly what she was looking for, she wanted it to be a bit less bulky and a bit more feminin.

The rough size is 15 cm high and 20 cm wide for the first sketch.
The second tatou is 15 cm high and 9 cm wide.

The final sketch looked like this and the high resolution tattoo is also shown.

Finished Kirituhi tribal style tattoo designs

Hi!

I just finished two nice tattoo designs in a Kirituhi style mixed with some other tribal elements.
The first one is a forearm tatoo design, which has some flames at the wrist in a negative space.
The other elements had to be sharp and my customer wanted some curles in it.
Here's the final tat2 design:

The second design is for the elbow in a Kirituhi-style with some "storm3d" flow to it.
It's a seamless piece, so the tattoo will wrap around without any visible edges.

Will be back in a day or two with a backpiece and some other projects, so check back soon!

tribal tattoo flames lower arm design

Hi,

Here's another new design I'm working on this week. It's a lower arm tattoo piece, for a German customer. The tatoo is placed on the outside of the lower arm and wraps around to the inside a little. It had to look like a warrior armlet, with some symbols of fire, triangular shapes and flowing kirituhi curles.
The first three pictures of the design in progress:

Elbow tattoo design in mixed tribal style

Hi!

It has been a while since I posted my last sketches and updates, but here is a new tattoo project that I started yesterday.
One of my customers asked me to do an elbow tattoo, similar to the one Cesc Fabregas has.
He only wanted to have it in a mixed tribal style like some of my images on my website.

Here are the first pictures of this design in progress:

I e-mailed these pictures to my client, so I will get back soon with an update.

Storm3d featured in tattoo magazine "Tattoo Planet"

Hi,

Yesterday my brother visited me with a copy of the Dutch tattoo magazine "Tattoo Planet".
In the past some of my drawings were published when I contacted them, that was a really nice surprise.
But in the latest magazine, my website www.storm3d.com was reviewed and had some really positive comments. I didn't know that they were going to publish it, so this is really great.

Here's the article:

Tribal forearm tattoo tutorial video on youtube

Hi,

It has been really nice job to do some filming and editing for my latest design "tutorial"
First I had to set up my new camera (Panasonic HDC-SD9) which records in Full HD quality ;) on a sd-card.
I recorded several scenes and edited it in Windowns Movie maker, I'm not a pro on editing, so I used this simple tool to add some titles and credits. Then uploaded it to youtube and Voila! here it is!

In this video to show you how I create and uptimized my designs. This time it's a forearm sketch in tribal style, which I'm tracing in the first video, I posted the sketches yesterday, so you can find it in my previous posting. In the second one you see how I scan the design, uptimize it and make a high resolution linedrawing in Photoshop CS3.








I received the following e-mail from my customer when he got the high resolution design:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hi Mark,


Thanks for completing, I love it :)

Can't wait to get it done and will definitely send you some photos once complete.

As some feedback I would like to say that you have provided a very professional, simple and friendly service.
Excellent communication with your client and a great turnaround time from start to finish. I am recommending your designs and great customer service to friends and I will be checking in to your blog for your new designs for a future tattoo.


(Please feel free to use this quote, online or elsewhere)

Many thanks,


Rich Wallace."
