Anime Half Sleeve - Kukoshibo

As a lover of anime, and housed in an anime/popculture tattoo shop, its only fitting to add this anime-themed half sleeve that showcases a striking portrait of the six-eyed demon Kukoshibo, to my portfolio. Not only does it show my versatility as an artists, but it is designed to capture the intensity and complexity of the character. To complement the client’s large, muscular arm, the artwork was enlarged and tailored to fit the shape of the arm seamlessly, ensuring a dynamic and powerful visual presence.

The tattoo features bold linework to emphasize the character's dramatic features, while stipple shading was meticulously applied to create depth and texture, enhancing the overall dimension of the piece. The combination of strong outlines and delicate shading brings the character to life, making the half sleeve a statement piece that highlights both the anime’s dark aesthetic and the client’s appreciation for the series.
