This is my first marker pass at Mike’s ring. He wants the eye pattern from Becky’s Sugar Cat (which I agree, does have a Japanese flavor to it.
This is a rough marker pass, so it might be a little hard to see. There’s not enough room for five individual rings in the forehead, but I am going to come up with something using the lotus theme.
The shank has horizontal lines running around it (like a helmet) and meet at a seam in the back. We have to have someplace to put the sprue, don’t we?
Mike, let me know if I’m close on this one.
