Oh, sorry mike, I assumed you did it. The contrast I'm referring to would be adding darker shades of color around the metal mask to give it a more 3D feel, not necessarily blacks but dark gunmetal and greys
I notice that your comments are directed at the artist. I got this piece im not the artist. Interesting criticism tho, explain what you mean by contrast where the metal meets the hood. Keep in mind i know jack sh!t about art or tattoing
The whole image is a bit flat. I would say that there needs to be some depth brought into the eyes and contrast were the metal goes back into the hood. Check your source photo and look at the eyes again they could use some livening up.
