Creating a sleeve of Wada Heita Tanenaga Killing a Python

I had recently tattooed a koi leg sleeve on Jake, and once it was completed he came straight back in for a consultation about getting a sleeve and chest plate depicting a warrior fighting a demon or monster, preferably a serpent. He gave me complete creative license as long as it worked well with his last tattoo. I ended up choosing the legendary Japanese Character, Wada Heita Tanenaga, who is often depicted fighting or slaying a giant snake in many Edo period Japanese woodblock prints. I chose a particular Kuniyoshui print to use as inspiration for the main character, that I thought would fit well on the arm, then freehanded the snake, flowers and background to fit to the shape of the rest of the arm and chest.
