If anybody's bored and wants to draw something, I'm looking for a small acorn graphic for a tattoo. I want something simple like the following:
Except that I'd really like something more stylized, and flatter, in black.
More like this:
Except not that at all. It's going to be around the size of a quarter. Looking also for something a little less round and cutesy.
Now, I expect to get no responses to this, so that's fine. I'll figure it out. But if anybody happens to want to make a cool acorn...I'd be highly appreciative. I know there's a bunch of artsy folk around here, and I figured I'd ask unfortunately, I can't pay anything (though if you have an awesome idea, we can discuss it) but you will get the reward of knowing you got a piece of your artwork tattooed on a stranger's butt, soooo...there's that. Photos can be provided

If I understand you properly, you want one black acorn. How many leaves do you want?
What do you like and not like about the vector drawing that you posted?
One black acorn with a single leaf at most is kinda what I want...but if it can be made small, then if it looks good, I'd be interested, even if it has more leaves or additions. Size is the only real requirement (again, about a quarter).
My main issue with that particular graphic is that it's a bit too cartoony. Not enough detail, not enough edge.
This is a better example of what I do like, though still too large for my needs:
This is very cool, and I wish I could get it small enough. It doesn't have enough detail in the acorn itself, either, but I like the style.
If you could somehow incorporate 3 leaves (like a poison oak branch) with the acorn, that would be amazing. But most important is the acorn

(2,887 posts)that with three leaves the acorn will so small that it will look more like a berry.

(2,887 posts)Acorn with, or without texture?
Again, being quarter sized, the vein and texture lines are going to be quite fine/small.
