Well here is Gary's body all done and in desktop wallpaper

how bout some regular pics? looks good but i cant really tell

Only pics I have---took them late at night and not real good lighting.

I can say as each body I do I end up learning something to to improve or how I went about things wrong.

I did use the Bonz template which was hard to use in the blue plus I backed it with black when I should have used white to make it pop out more.
My lines are not that good which I wonder how you do it.
I was thinking on finding a double blade to do them with.

dont bother with a double blade it will just make things more difficult. It looks good, like you said practice. I can see that you have some good designs, may work on smoothing out ur shadowing like with the orange but otherwise it looks pretyt good

awesome! it turned out great!

I use the Badger Hybrid brush---the shadowing is a real PITA with this. Very limited and mainly good for larger stuff. Good for filling in and stuff like that.

I just picked me up the IWATA HP-C for $105 shipped and brand new. Cheapest I have come across.
Now I plan on getting some newsprint and practice with the new brush.
Feels good in the hand so far.

Have you sprayed the LM at all?

As for the designs---I do everything digital and via internet then I alter them to what I like and needin PS.
Very little hand drawing. I print it out, Go over the edges with a pen or something and cut it out.
I have even used a glue stick to postition them on the outside and draw it in from there. Sometimes I make changes from there.
This body had changed designs twice before this one.

I am feeling more comfortable with airbrushing now.
Takes hours from start to finish and the cutting is the tedious part.

very nice

i used to spray LMF but u need a brush with a big needle and tip. I usually draw all my stuff out and yes i have spent days cutting out designs on bodies

i like!
