This digital drawing comes from studying one of my favourite comic artists ever: Joe Madureira, Instagram: @joemadureira.

I found this specific pencil sketch inside a special edition of Battle Chasers, one of his greatest works, which I bought at Lucca Comics in the far and forgotten 2010.

When I was younger, I always wanted to learn how to draw with fluidity. Then, when I was eighteen, I discovered Joe Madureira and the incredible movement in his lines, characters, and compositions. Since then, his style has influenced almost every concept I have ever drawn.

Battle Chasers is an RPG-inspired fantasy comic series that first appeared in 1998. Its story follows Gully, a young girl searching for her missing father, alongside characters such as the swordsman Garrison, the wizard Knolan, the outlawed war golem Calibretto, and the mercenary Red Monika. The series mixes fantasy, machinery, monsters, exaggerated anatomy, and explosive action, all carried by that unmistakable Joe Mad energy.

His drawings never feel frozen. Even when a character is standing still, the shapes, poses, clothing, and expressions make it feel as though something is about to move, strike, or explode.

That was exactly the kind of drawing I wanted to understand, and his influence has stayed inside my work ever since.

The price that you are paying is a deposit that is half of the total amount, the other half, need to be payed the day of the tattoo appointment, before the tattoo session starts.

Payment Options

There are always 3 MODALITY OF PAYMENT :

The chosen method must be agreed upon before the tattoo appointment is confirmed.

1. Full Advance Payment

After paying the initial booking deposit, the client may request to pay the entire remaining project price in advance.

Depending on the size, complexity and conditions of the project, a discount of up to 40% may be available for full advance payment.

The exact discount is decided individually by the artist and must be confirmed in writing before payment is made.

The appointment and the agreed project conditions are fully confirmed once the complete payment has been received.

2. Payment Per Tattoo Session

After paying the initial booking deposit, the client may schedule the first tattoo session.

The remaining price for that session must be paid before the tattoo session begins, unless another arrangement has been confirmed in writing by the artist.

When the tattoo requires an additional session, a new deposit equal to 25% of the estimated price of the following session may be required to reserve the next appointment.

The final number of sessions may vary depending on the size and complexity of the tattoo, the client’s skin, the healing process and any changes requested during the project.

Each session is paid separately. The client is therefore not required to pay the estimated price of the complete project at once.

3. PayPal Ratenzahlung

Eligible clients may request to pay the complete project price through PayPal Ratenzahlung.

The studio will send the client an official PayPal invoice or PayPal payment link for the agreed amount.

The client must open the payment link, log in to PayPal and select “Später bezahlen” or “PayPal Ratenzahlung,” when this option is made available by PayPal.

Approval is decided exclusively by PayPal. It may depend on the client’s PayPal account, creditworthiness, transaction amount and the availability of the service.

The artist and the studio cannot guarantee approval, select the repayment period or modify PayPal’s financing conditions.

The repayment period, monthly instalments, interest and any other conditions will be displayed directly by PayPal before the client confirms the transaction.

There is no additional studio fee for selecting PayPal Ratenzahlung. The agreed project price remains the same.

The tattoo appointment is confirmed only after the complete transaction appears as successfully completed in the studio’s PayPal Business account.

Pending transactions, approval screens, confirmation emails or screenshots from the client are not considered proof that the payment has been completed.

Once the transaction has been completed, PayPal manages the client’s monthly repayment plan. Any questions concerning approval, instalments, interest or repayment must be addressed directly to PayPal.

Cancellations, appointment changes and refunds remain subject to the studio’s booking and cancellation policy. Where a refund is approved, it will be processed through the original PayPal transaction.

Deposit

Deposits are normally non-refundable. However, the deposit may be transferred to another available appointment without an expiration date.

Fifty percent of the deposit may be refunded only under the following conditions:

1. The client informs the artist or studio at least 72 hours before the scheduled tattoo appointment. The refund process begins only after the cancellation has been received and confirmed by the studio.
2. The client has a medical condition, illness, or medical contraindication that makes receiving the tattoo unsafe or impossible. Reasonable confirmation from a medical professional may be requested. The client is not required to disclose their diagnosis.
3. The client is affected by the hospitalisation, death, or serious medical emergency of an immediate family member or a person under their care.
4. The client has been involved in an accident or another serious and documented emergency outside their reasonable control.
5. The client is prevented from attending because of a documented force-majeure event, such as a major transport shutdown, natural disaster, or official travel restriction.

The remaining fifty percent of the deposit is retained to compensate the artist for administrative work, appointment preparation, design work, and the reserved appointment time.

Work obligations, financial difficulties, changes of mind, holidays, scheduling conflicts, oversleeping, and ordinary transport delays do not qualify for a refund. In these circumstances, the deposit may still be transferred to a rescheduled appointment.

When the artist or studio cancels the appointment and cannot provide a reasonable replacement appointment, the client will receive a full refund of the deposit.
