Thanks Everyone!
Its getting there....just a LOT of seat time. I didn't mind it too much till the lower back. Plus with the deep color he has to go over it 3-4x's. By the 3rd pass I am about ready to pass out, by the forth I am just holding on! Its like getting a tattoo over the WORST sunburn you have EVER had.
It's turning out pretty much like I designed it. I'll have to see about adding some more contrast in between the HD shield w/tears and the Phoenix. And color in the stupid feet of the Phoenix. They look gay to me colored in like that. I'll have him blend the lines in a little better this next time out. I forgot during this sitting.
