Default Calling all artists (need help)

I wasnt sure where to put this where it would get attention.

I'm going to get another tattoo soon, but i need some help with the artwork for it.

Its going on the top of my back, from one shoulder to the other. (see below)




Okay, now to the details.

A big city skyline that stretches from one side to the other. (see below)
something like this, but only better =]



Now i want the city to be "on fire". Nothing crazy. Just so you can tell theres flames. (see below)



And now, underneath it, in cursive (im willing to see if you have a better font), have it say "The City Sleeps In Flames". (see below)






Seriously, I'd love for someone to help me out. And ill pay you somehow if you actually do this for me and I use your design.

I hope i gave you enough detail.

Thanks <3

Do you want a lot of detail in the skyline, or does it even matter as long as it looks good?

@MCR - It doesnt matter. as long as you can distinguish its a city and fits your drawing style =]

@falco - ive seen your work, and its good =]


it doesnt have to be too tall. Just long.

colors similar to what i have there.
black city (or whatever color you feel fits best)
faint red/orange/yellow flames (they dont have to be distinguished flames, just so people know its fire)
and whatever color the city is, i want the text to be the same color.

Wouldn't you be better off getting TATTOO ARTISTS to design the specifics?

I mean, tattoo is a very specialized medium. I know for a fact that certain kinds of details don't translate to tattoo well, and a tattoo artist would be able to design the graphic for you while managing the limitations of the art form.

yes, but if i come in with a picture i want.
they redraw it.
and make their own modifications.

Ive already got one done, so i know the procedure.

If i walk in with a picture of what i want, they can tell me if its doable or not. If i walk in with nothing, they sometimes get disgruntled and irritated.

I would, but I find the design kind of homo.

If I grew up and I had that thing on my back I'd just end my life.

Shut up you could get paid to draw something!

I might give it a shot if I find the time in the near future.

I'm making my tattoo appointment very very (hell why don't I do it tomorrow?) soon, so it'll prolly be on my mind and maybe I'll find some motivation.

I think it needs further emphasis, so I'll reiterate:
