Hey guys, i'm looking for some help sketching a tattoo.

I had a close friend of mine pass away last month, and I want to get a tattoo as sort of a remembrance of him. The tattoo is super simple, I just really suck at drawing.

I'm looking for three jagged mountains, with a road winding between them, and RVOD underneath it. Super clean and simple looking. I'm putting it on my forearm (I think) and I want it to be clean, but noticeable. I probably won't do color. It combines what I love (skiing) and what he loved (longboarding). RVOD stands for Ryan Vanderveen Or Die- which was kinda his way of saying go out, and do what you love.

Anyways it would be awesome if someone could help sketch this up for me. I want to make sure I like what i'm getting before I make the appointment. Thanks in advance! +K to all those that help.

If anyone is curious, here is a video showcasing his love for longboarding- he was really fricken good.

I'm not an artist or anything, but I want to say that I'm so sorry that Ryan passed. I'm pretty active in the longboarding community and I was devastated when I heard, I can't imagine how it must have been for someone close to him. If you need to talk anything out, just shoot me a PM
 
I just threw this together quick. It's not much, but it's something. Critique it hard, it's your memory and your tattoo, I'll change/add/edit/remove whatever you want and put it together until you're sure with it.

Polished it up a bit. Removed the majority of the rolling foothills on the left side, redid the RVOD text, added some clouds on top (not sure if you want those in tattoo form they may not fit the landscape) threw in some trees on the foothills to blend the mountains together. Hope you like it.
 
Couple quick sketches. PM me if you like them and want me to make a higher quality version and/or make any changes!
