Weeellll, long time no see!

I've been really busy with university and that won't change for the near future.
That, and a little art block.... But today I finally had some kind of inspiration, when I thought of ASP's song "Schwarzer Schmetterling" which means Black Butterfly. Well and that's what you see in this picture. ^^

I wanted to do some celtic knotwork again, so I just went ahead.
This one took quite a long time to finish, because the lines are pretty thin, so inking was a real drag!
(While inking I listened through several complete albums XD .... Opeth - Damnation, Blind Guardian - The Forgotten Tales, Slayer - Diabolus in Musica, Nightwish - Oceanborn and half of Iron Maiden's Best Of The Beast)

Nice one... If your studies keep you so busy, you always can spare half the drawing time through a digital horizontal flip (but then it doesn't exactly feel the same, I know).

Actually, the absence of precise measuring doesn't really spoil anything; it looks more "instinctive" this way.

(And if you are to use that as a tattoo, you always can choose the half you like best.)

Thanks a lot for your comment! :)
Yeah, I could save some time, but it would spoil my fun... *smirks* Even though it's hard to make things like that symmetric, it's still fun to do. ^^
And as a useful side-effect it's a good training :)

But I guess if I would get a symmetric design as a tattoo I would copy the better side, that's true.
