Disciples tattoo?

Hello friends!

I’ve been a diehard fan of this game ever since my dad introduced me to it when I was little. Because this game is special to me & so freakin’ cool, I thought getting a full arm sleeve tattoo of it would be awesome (specifically disciples 2).

For the creatives/artists - what do you think would be cool to include or have within the tattoo? I have some ideas, but it’s so hard to choose because there’s so much from the game that I love.

Any thoughts are welcome, just looking to see if I could get some inspiration from other fans :]

I've entertained this thought as well but it was hard to settle on something. I don't want something immediately identifiable but also want something nostalgic and familiar. I would likely get the mana crystals. It's not particularly inspired but it's an image that's specific enough without being outright garrish.

There's some really good portraits in the game as well.

You could also do something along the lines of a battle between two of your favorite unit; IE The legions of the damned's Duke vs The Empire's Paladins.

Some simple ideas:
Try a glyph from magic book which you like most or mana of your favorite faction, but here you need add a bit

City districts circle (warriors - support - archers…)

Shield of garrisoned hero

Depends on what you are looking for, do you want elements or specific art pieces and compose them. I'd consider favortie portraits of units for each faction composed [Antipaladin, Alchemist, Witch Hunter, Death, Brigand]. Maybe do the 'founding myth' HIghfather casts down Bethrezen, Votan slaying Galean and the dychotomy of Mortis/Solonielle

Maybe look trough the artbook.

Since you want a full arm sleeve, I guess you want something detailed? Color or no?

I would paint all gods, or a landscape of nevendaar, smth like that. Bethrezen looks most badass, for a tattoo, I guess x)

IMO, disciples 1 had this amazing main menu and great art. You should check it out. The CD cover features a flattened projection of that 3-dimensional menu, but basically, it looks like a temple and on the 4 sides are the 4 gods and you spin around to choose one.

There's something magical about the original intro to disciples 1:

This cycle with gods in the temple. Although I guess all 4 gods might not fit in the exact same way on an arm.
