a plurk paste of my initial disorganized thoughts (subject to change; see below for more up to date and easier to read stuff with visuals)
Style: a cross between storybook illustration and stained glass window blocking; general line work & coloring style something like what you'd see in his myriad celestia trailer. Still examples: 01, 02, 03, 04 Head & Neck: vertically on his forehead (and thus hidden by bangs) an eye in parallel to the one at the top of his halo; the top of one of the thorny vines comes up his neck, peaking out of his shirt collar though the vine is broken at the top; markings like liquid trail from his eyes down his cheeks like tears -- this fanart gives something of an idea as well Torso: while most stop around his hips, one or two thorny vines creep up around his torso and up to his neck, though they're cracked and splintering in spots; much of his chest is decorated with the dark mysterious depths of space full of rivers of stars; a train track winds from shoulder to shoulder but in a meandering way where it goes from point to point, visiting galaxies and planets and sometimes the train is traveling across it. usually it goes between a disc shaped world and a strange tiny infinity symbol shaped world, though it will travel elsewhere too. sometimes an eye blinks open on the chest to watch Hands & Arms:hand references right hand stylized like a mechanical brass doll or puppet with a hole in the center exposing harp strings instead of bones and tendons; such stylization continues up his arm with exposed harp string tendons that eventually twist together to instead form a set of silver train tracks that twine up his upper arm and across his shoulder; sometimes a small locomotive can be seen traveling along it with several small representations of people sitting on each car (one red, one brown, one pink, one green, one grey, one purple, one smaller with floppy rabbit ears) left hand is porcelain white with a purplespace thumb speckled in stardust; a golden eye much like the one on his halo is on the back, bleeding into stylized golden filigree that wraps around the wrist and at first become a cracked stained glass path along which dance mannequins before also eventually becomes train tracks that join with with the others across his back. Legs: Blue and gold thorny vines wrap their way up his legs, the occasional raven feather caught in the brambles, and sometimes ravens with eyes on their chests perch on the vines, peering up into the space above but they never leave the thorns. there is a fallen possibly dead charmony dove caught within but it's very unlikely anyone will see it between his clothes and the vines. While the thorns are more disorderly further down, the further up the more they the brambles begin to take on an even latticework shape in some places and the shape of framework of stained glass windows in others, filled in with color
Other: 1. Important to note that two doves, one mainly white, purple, and cyan and one mainly blue and white with a bit of yellowtend to fly pretty much all over the tattooscape. The purple one sings more frequently, and the singing takes the form of musical notes on a staff ribbon winding away from her but sometimes the blue one joins her in music. (If you look closely sometimes when the purple one is turned just so, you can see a mark on her neck; a splotch like a stray ink mark or a scar.) The blue one has a clipped wing and doesn't fly as well but he's trying. The purple one is most often found flying around and often perches at the very top of the thorns above his collar as if she is watching what is happening. The blue one tends to stick close to the train or stay nestled in Sunday's hands but rarely it does also join the purple one up above his collar.
2. a psychadelic marbled wobbly haze often forms the borders between regions, and it constantly shifts slowly, undulating. it's a bit unsettling to stare at, and sometimes it creeps out further above his collar. another example of what it kinda looks like

Hands & Arms: hand references right hand stylized like a mechanical brass doll or puppet with a hole in the center exposing harp strings instead of bones and tendons; such stylization continues up his arm with exposed harp string tendons that eventually twist together to instead form a set of silver train tracks that twine up his upper arm and across his shoulder; sometimes a small locomotive can be seen traveling along it with several small representations of people sitting on each car (one red, one brown, one pink, one green, one grey, one purple, one smaller with floppy rabbit ears)
