Pinniped

I am a big big fan of aquatic mammals.  I've thought for a long while now that my next tattoo might be of a seal or an otter- and today I did the first sketch in what will eventually develop into adornment for my right leg (probably thigh):

I will be adding spots, and reworking that tail, but all in all I'm pleased with this foundation.  Really pleased.  Makes me really look forward to autumn (which, as we all know, is new tattoo season).
