A guardian over rocks and waves.
This tattoo design centers on a Haetae standing over rocks, surrounded by a large movement of waves.
Rather than focusing only on the symbolic meaning of Haetae, I wanted to emphasize the weight, force, and presence carried by its form.
The face and claws were drawn with a solid structure, while the mane and tail were arranged to connect with the movement of the waves.
The waves are not just a background element, but a way to expand the force and motion around the Haetae and the rocks.
I wanted the piece to remain powerful on the body, almost like a single dramatic scene.
