IT'S TIME FOR A CONTEST!
 
Ok, so you see those pictures. Those are two tattoos that exist in this world. Two people have IHL tattoos and I don't!
WE'RE GOING TO FIX THAT - YOU ARE DESIGNING MY TATTOO!!
So what you have to do is email me your In His Likeness inspired tattoo ideas. Preferably in a form that I can post up online. I will then vote on the top three and I will be getting the best one tattooed on my body during the time of strip #500.
One stipulation is that I get to veto size and location. I'm not getting a HUGE DEVIL on my back. I have arms, thighs, ankles, and shoulders available. Work with that... remember, I'm a working stiff.
Also note that you don't need major artistic talent. I'll be taking the best entries and cleaning them up so they are fit to put on my body.
The winners will recieve (UPDATED!):
FIRST PRIZE - The collected works of IHL, an IHL T-Shirt, and a personalized drawing.
SECOND PRIZE - IHL: The Centurion & 5 random buttons!
THIRD PRIZE - Two randomly chosen IHL comics
There is also rumor that my friend Mike will be getting the second best tat on HIS body at the same time. We'll see about that one.
E-Mail all entries to: INHISLIKENESS@GMAIL.COM
CONTEST ENTRIES
UPDATED - 07/02/08
BRENNA - Taking a new spin on it:
LAURA - A couple entries with a new take on the Horsemen:
First, the Devil and Devilettes 'holding' a simple black chain to wrap partway around the ankle, the Devil on one end and the 'lettes on the other with the chain stretching across the front of the ankle to look as though they were trying to trip you.
 
TODD of KILLJOY - Good friend Todd has gone in an entirely different direction with this (and he gave me a fairly extensive explanation as to how it works mythologically too!):
Todd also sent this explanation with an entry. The entry can be viewed RIGHT HERE.
The PinWheel of Fortune icon is all about the dots, because its the god-dots that make the world go round. Alluding to a pinwheel, the winds of change -- and the world mill that spins the heavens -- this design is an abstraction of the forces at work in the universe. It's the pantheistic Yin and the Yang, so it also includes the Yan and Ying, the Yon and the Yeng, the Yun and the Yyng, and all the other vowel combinations our grammar school grammar schooling can conjure. At once evocative of the exuberant joys of childhood (the pinwheel) and the brutal violence of adulthood and death (see the shuriken?), this design will mean all its many meanings to you as it travels with you on your heroic journey of life! ... 'cause you know, those tattoos, they're permanent.
JAIMIE - Long fan Jaimie sent this one in:
MANDI - Starting us off with this update, we get this idea from Mandi:
GRAPHIC 2G - The enigmatic G2G gave me these:
"Your four panels.. and then just fit a bunch of the characters in them."
 
TARA M - Her suggestions:
- Bast and Anubus chasing each other around your wrist.
- God chasing the Holy Ghost
- Devil, God, Holy Ghost all chasing each other with Bast & Anubis watching
SILVER WOLF aka CJ - More ideas!:
- God as PacMan on one shoulder and Holy Ghost on the other.
- Or have it across your bicep!
TRISHA - Similar to Todd's but with her own spin:
PITTCANNA - Genderless Pitt gave us this one.
MIKKEL - I don't know if this will age well, but it's neat!
ALLYSSA - Simple and to the point.
TASHA - Finally giving us this character mix-up:
ROB D - He think I should get a black dot in the middle of my forehead.
5IN - They've suggested the following:
- A tattoo in the middle of my back about 'The Tramp Stamp'
- A glow in the dark inked 1nt3rn3t on my bicep.
- An entire mural of the characters on my back (with room for more)
- Or to be minimalist, a small God on my inner wrist.
SEAN K. - His design goes like this.
MOE
TODD S. - Killjoy's own Todd gave me this first one, then went nuts:
   
KEEP EM COMING & GOOD LUCK!
