Comments on: Sexier Velma Tattoo?

In my opinion – as a professional artist for over 30 years – the essentially identical positioning of the folds in the sweater and the dimples in the back of her knees (among other details) make it impossible to believe that these two designs were arrived at completely separately with no influence of one on the other. So, unless we're saying the cartoon was (at least partially) copied from the tattoo, then it is highly likely – again, in my opinion – that it happened the other way around.

I'll give credit to the tattoo artist for being a deft inker to have rendered those lines very well, but there are too many similarities — the legs, socks, the folds in the sweater and the face especially — for you to NOT discount the fact that MJBivouac's original drawing was the basis for the tattoo.

Not trying to flame here, but I've known MJ's work for several years, and I can tell when something has been referenced off of his work. Just saying.

Moxy,
Come on! I'm not on drugs here. The tattoo pictured above is CLEARLY based on my drawing of Velma, right down to the folds in the sweater.
Perhaps it was the tattoo artist who 'borrowed' my art and claimed it as his own to get the job from your wife, but compare the two images yourself and you'll see that I am correct. Hey, I'm not complaining, other drawings of mine have been used as tattoos without my permission, and I have no problem with that at all. But please just give me a little credit. That is all I ask.

Actually no, but nice drawing, her tattoo artist drew it up from my wifes ideas and input.

Ha! This tattoo appears to be based on a drawing that I did! http://www.velmadinkley.net/doo/VelmasSweetRoundA…
