This was based on a design I've been playing around with for a couple of years. My initial design has swirly black lines to indicate wind and it was much smaller. When I showed the artist, he asked if I minded if he played around with it, and I said no. We talked about it, and he clearly got what I was going for. He decided to use negative space as an indicator, partially to have a beginning and end to the band. I absolutely love it.

These were taken right after I removed the bandage, so it's still pretty red. Today, the red is much lighter, and the swelling has gone down. Since a lot of the red is gone, the shading is much clearer - most of the 'black' will gray out.
