And I Go in Fear

By Jordan Ginsberg • Mar 16th, 2009 • Category: ModBlog


I’ll confess that I did not recognize this hideous mutant as the “MSI pony,” but was instead attracted to it due to (1) the fact that its coloring is fairly unconventional but quite well executed, and (2) my inexplicable fascination with artistic representations of nightmarish animal hybrids and disfigurements (etc., etc.). And hey, I think this unicorn/fawn/octopus mash-up fits in nicely. For the record, when it comes to my favorite tattoo genres: food and monstrous animal concoctions. Hey now.

    i love the design but somthing just isnt right with this thing
    i feel like it will peel off or degrade after a shower or 2
    did they use UV ink for the color?

    I like the use of color and the white outline.

    In respect of colouring, I prefer the original combination of purple, black, white and grey.
    Otherwise the tattoo and MSI<3 rock.

    I’m not familiar with the band, so my first reaction was “Cthulhupony?”

    Teehee, I love that they just Twittered this. Score for MSI being a fan of Modblog! :D
    And this is pretty well colored. The only thing I think needs work is that the tail could be colored better; the contrast could be brighter.
