thanks for all the replies!

i'm not particularly drawn to the celtic aspect of the image i posted as much as the general proportions..actually, distant clone linked me to a version i'd seen before, but hadn't come across since....its one more step in the general direction...



i talked to an aquaintance, adn it turns out she looked into getting an ouroboros recently as well. sounds like i will need to enlist an artist to customize..

i'm tentatively considering the image above as the loose template..i'd like to alter the tongue in some way to increase its symbolic meaning, and perhaps inscribe various symbols in place of the ones already there. i really like the eye though..reptilian yet vaguely human...almost unconscious, yet perpetually open and all-seeing..

hehe, cool link ophelia. the sheela na gig is actually a cool symbol...who knows, maybe i'll get that in the future as well


thanks again for everyone that replied..even you ataraxis (nic pic)

when i finally sort it all out and get it i'll be sure to post a pic.
