My first mod project (Carving Content inside, 56k= unfriendly)

[Ruins]

i cease to impress you?!

I used both of the tools. Airbrush is perfect for gradient and transparent smooth shadings effect and brush is perfect when i needed to get dense amount of paint in to small area where airbrush just wouldn't reach.
another use brush was for the kind of spread dray stroked effects.

what would you say if i tolled you that i also use this cotton wool triangular sponge that women use to correct/remove their makeup in this project too??

Don't think I worded that right. I meant that every post you make continues to impress me,

I'd believe you.

Keeps getting better and better!!!

I had a question about the hardware, are you going to relic it or leave it as is ?

 

[Ruins]

i was thinking about the hardware too, i just got no money to buy extra parts for it and to try my self i also can't don't have the needed hardware for that nor the knowledge.
i think they call it galvanic process it allows you to get many desired effects from smooth surfaces to relic looking one. all you need is bathtub with some acid and electricity as far as i know. i am not sure nut i think you can not apply this treatment to any metal/alloy. it only works on aluminum and bronze so that means i would need to coat the hardware with aluminum first and i don't know how to do that.
correct me if i am wrong those of you who know about this.

the other way would be to treat it the same way as i did to the wood. the problem with that is it will simply wont hold on the surface of the hardware. few grabs, rubs, tunings and it will all fall off.

You could also try the "vinegar bath" trick or the "bucket of rocks" trick, parts would end up looking as if they were left out in the rain for years, might look good.

DUUDE Sick as fuck! I love the carving!!!

 

[digitalpig]

This looks unbelievable, just like the Terminator's little brother.

Can't wait to see it finished!

Cheers from Germany!

 

[Goatchrist]

I'm so glad I checked out this thread! Love your art, keep it up!

I sincerely hope that you can live from doing that in the future.

 

[demigod]

Dude this is Rings of Saturn meets Giger all out lol

 

[Trembulant]

That is badass, glad you decided to continue on it.
All kinds of things would look good on the rest of the body.
A green and gold/bronzish reptile type print - silver plate - even straight black would make the carved parts pop.

 

[theo]

Oh man, this is SO cool!

 

[Hollowway]

Is it weird that I really want to be assimilated by your guitar? I want to be its Locutus!

 

[Arterial]

excuse my language mods but..

holy fuck!!

 

[kruneh]

Wow, that´s awesome!
Great idea, fantastic work

 

[demigod]

I would give that a few clear coats just to make sure it doesnt scrape off

 

[guy in latvia]

holy mother of god, best thread ever! amazing work, HR Giger himself would be proud!

[Emperoff]

[Ruins]

UPDATE

as you can see i need to do some cleaning to the wood but nothing worse there is nothing that 250 or finer sandpaper can not fix.

i also notice that it all looks kind of monotone, i need to get some how darker silver shades in to it.

this project is getting really close to be finished, i am excited about it to finally clear caot her and set some strings up and fucking headbang out of both of us
