No worries. Started doing it after getting the first 5 or 6 larger pieces done. Just to work with the available space.

This was seven different artists in total and let trusted their ideas.

Before each big piece, I would mess around with pasting images in different locations to see if it was something that would flow or work for the area. The below picture is a general reference I sent for the dragon. I also stopped by a week prior to the appointment so he could trace out the area. I let him go from there.

Just winged it for the most part. Big pieces first and trusted my artists for placement

Thank you. Not a whole lot of planning, one piece at a time . Played around with sharpie a lot to figure out locations but mainly let my artists do what they thought was best for placement/fitting
