Ethan

This ambigram was commissioned by David J. Blazek who wanted to get a tattoo in the name of his son Ethan. Following are the two designs that i have come up with. While the first one is a gothic inspired form, the second one is a calligraphic lowercase version which is quite ornamental. It took quite a time to make. David liked both the designs and will be using the first design for the tattoo.

Thanks man. I used the sketch on the paper as a mask for adobe illustrator and redrew...and it took hours to get the lines as precise (working with vector curves)...but i was really satisfied with the end result.

Thank you all...i'm flattered! Well, the commissions sure have brought out a good artist in me.
@Sid: As i mentioned earlier, i use Adobe Illustrator (and use vector curves to draw the letters) and nothing else. All my final designs are in vector graphics format.
