Thanks it was a mix of stipple for the scales and line work for the shading havnt done many pieces like this. I'm trying to get into doing pictures and stuff and give a whack at a mixed bulino type of style.

Eric sotelo out of San Antonio tx. It's still a work in progress but for now it's ES though I change up the fonts a little everytime I have a logo too but it's a little hard to cut at the moment
