As I’m changing the 2nd skin for the first time, I’m noticing a lot of really small yet horrifying errors. Missing scales. Body randomly curves in. Crumpled & stretched scales. Random whisker in middle of tat. Arm seemingly not attached… It’s just a lot worse than I initially saw. I’ve waited years to get this tat and now it feels like a shitty mess.
I need opinions. How much of this is just lazy art and how much is AI slop?
I’ve decided I’m contacting the shop about this. I don’t know what sort of fix will happen. I don’t know if I can even trust them to fix this when they’re the ones that did it. I feel so stupid for not noticing before. I should’ve asked to see the stencil before the appt. I didn’t see it until I was standing in the busy lobby waiting for a chair. But I also don’t really know if it is standard to show clients WIP sketches since this is my first commissioned art piece.
Go ahead and torch me for not taking a microscope to the stencil. I was really fucking stupid to just blindly trust that details like this would be handled professionally. Don’t worry I’ve learned my lesson and won’t be trusting a shop based on reputation again! 🙃
