    Rock band tattoo request.

    Hi, my name is Yosol. I'm from Mexico and I made this account specially for one thing.
    I saw a tattoo on the original Rock Band game, an elephant tattoo made my John Dee and there's an event this weekend in my city and I want to tattoo that elephant to my chest.

    For the last couple of months, I've been searching for a full image of that elephant or maybe John Dees' contact profile to ask him for the original image.
    Anyways, this is the best I could find on the internet, if any one can pass a link to the whole image, I will be forever grateful.

    The excellent John Dee is, unfortunately, no longer at Harmonix, but I'll flag this to the Art team to see if anyone can track down the original asset. No guarantees that we'll be able to track it down in time, but we'll do what we can!

    Totally thought "John Dee" was a case of misremembering/not knowing John Drake's actual last name.

    That really sucks, because hands down my favorite parts of the games was Dee's art. I hope he's doing well wherever he is now.

    Thank you. Any help will be appreciated.

    Are you going to use the Rock Band logo as well?

    The black and white elephant on his page would make a bad ass tat.

    I'm avoiding tattooing the RB logo so I don't cause any CopyRight infragment (I don't know if it works that way, but I rather stay away from that).

    I did see the black and white elephant (battlephant) but the tattoo artist told me it's much more complicated than the one I want and it would cost me more money and more time getting tattooed.
    On the bright side, it does look pretty kick ass and it's complete (unlike the one I want) but I really don't feel it like my style.

    Well, I tried contacting John Dee but no response. So, given the circumstances, I decided to edit the image myself with a compilation of other images of lesser quality that I found of the elephant.

    Here's the finishing image. I'll be sure to add pictures of the tattoo done on the weekend.
