Thanks, man! I’ve used tattoos like that a few times before, they work pretty well for that.
I lost the last save before shading, and had to red0 some stuff, which is why there are differences between the two pictures. But if the rug looks better in the reconstructed version I guess it was worth it 🙂
May I ask what it is you prefer about the unshaded face?

Yeah, another unfinished piece. I can only work on a crying, bleeding, blinded eight-year old child for so many hours before I start feeling like a complete and utter bastard. Sleep now, shading tomorrow.
By the way, maybe I should explain some of the Samoan terms I’m using:
Malietoa: One of the four Samoan paramount chiefs.
Taupou: The daughter of the Malietoa.
Tu’i Manu’a: Ruler of many islands (emperor).
