Description
Call me, Ishmael.......
I had this in mind a few years ago, but never did it. Drew the tattoos freehand (Drew half, then flipped a copy). Faveral's Licorne ship. Put a white 2d square behind the figure at about 95% transparency and diffuse at 18. Washes out the background and makes the figure stand out more.
***
For the literary challenged, "Call me Ishmael" is the opening line in Herman Melville's Moby Dick. Queegueg was the mysterious harpooner. That's a book. You know, those old dusty non-digital things made with paper pages, between two bound covers?

remember- it is not wise to pick a fight with a Maori. Class image, th 2d plane works very well. I had a book once but I think it had run out of batteries.
