Hoping for some ideas, wasn't sure where to post this.

Hey guys... So i'm planning on getting a video game sleeve but I can't figure out exactly how i want it designed. Like, where i want everything positioned and how it will flow.

So I have Mario and Luigi already, but I'd like to get the following characters:
Kirby
Crash bandicoot
Spyro
Ryu (maybe in dragon form) from Breath of Fire III
Pac-man
Donkey kong
Squall from FFVIII
and more

As a filler, I was thinking things like mario coins/stars... Donkey kong bananas... Pac-man trail through the blank space.

Maybe grass/trees at the bottom keeping the cloud theme at the top?

Thanks dudes!

Talk to a tattoo artist about designing it not a bunch of people that make signatures on a video game website.

all of them in the same sleeve?? they tat artist is going to say thats too many things

sounds like a sick sleeve though, colors are going to be amazing

ps, never go cheap when it comes to a tattoo, only go to guys that make appointments, really look through their portfolio before you choose an artist

Obviously the tattoo artist will draw it, it sounds to me as if the guy just wants some advice on positioning. Nothing wrong with asking for ideas..

1) Find similar images to what you want
2) Print them out on transparent plastic
3) Cut them out and tape them
4) Place on arm for feel of how it looks & move around with tape

I do like the whole video game sleeve idea!

Id suggest having pipes from the mario games in the bg, maybe have a focus of mario and Luigi but have the other smaller/lower almost trying to reach the heights of the bros.!

Or another idea...have the enemies of the bros chasing them from below. With Mario themed images in bg, pipes/coins/feathers/stars

Best of luck
