Nice work man, looks awesome.

Hard to tell from the pictures what it looks like in the flesh but you could apply some dark wash inks to add some depth (shadow) to the painted carved sections, would bring out the details really well.

Great work!

I just read this whole thread, start to finish.
At the start, after the first pic of you digging into it I was unsure about it,
but then I went to the next page and kept going as it got better and better.
I've bookmarked it, now I must show the world this miracle of art!
Just be careful you don't bump it, the top corner of that headstock looks very brittle.
You could seriously start a business in custom guitars.
Keep them pics coming!

first of all, thank you all for the comments! it really does brings a smile on my face to read them and the fact that people like it so much.
it seems like i am the only one who is still so harshly critical about this work.

ok time for another UPDATE

at first i was hesitating to show the bronze pictures because they are just half way through where i am aiming at but then again perhaps they will inspire some others and explain it clear how i am getting to my aimed result. it is all about layers. :)

after silver came bronze....

and now the most up to date condition.
i was aiming for more depth, organic looks, used up surfaces with some green patina rust and rust in general. as i said before it is all about layers, this is still work in progress.
(this images didn't turn out so well, i hope the next wave of progress pics will be better)

i am not trying to spam but feel like i have to share this.
my current difficult situation in life and especially the unstable financial situation (that i don't really have a solution for for now) force me to take one step closer to the idea of custom guitars shop.
i am considering taking orders when this project is done. PM me if you are interested
