What if I took the eyes from 2 and put them on 3 but made the pupils bigger so I could add a little color there.? Everything black will be a chrome flake silver on a black background.
For me I just like the shape of the skull, cross bones and placement of eyes and pupils of number 3. I think that #3 looks more expressive if' that makes any sense.
wow some nice work! I had a idea, and although its not something you could sell remotely I thought it might be something you could use(if not already done). You know how the old classic Minis "S"s had dual fuel tanks? You could air brush a fuel filler on the opposite side of a modern Mini. Also I'm looking to paint some motorcycle bodywork and I want to have the brightest Kawasaki non metallic green that I can get, maybe even fluorescent, do you have any recommendation's?
For bright non metallic greens, check out Jeep's Gecko Green, Porsche also has one, but I don't know the name of the color... Kawasaki's signature green is also a good one. I'm pretty much just getting back into airbrushing just for shading, and adding small amounts of color to projects where the bigger HVLP guns are just a waste of material. As far as all the research I've done has got me, there aren't many straight Patina artists out there... Thats what I am best at, so I keep those techniques as my personal "style" anything else I add to it, is just a bonus.
You know, the more I look at this thread, the more I think you need to get off the "Dick's paint" thing. It sounds too possessive. I'd simplify it and just go with "Dick paint." The possibilities are unlimited.
the jeep green in my eye is too limey, that's the problem ,it seems the greens are too "pastel" if they are darker, and too lime green if they are lighter. I have a fluorescent orange paint scheme on a custom bike I have, I did not paint it. it just is on fire in the sun.( gotta keep it out of the sun though!) I was wondering if anyone has any experience with fluorescents ?
I hate mixing them but yes the supplier I use for my additives has it in stock! Paint the Gecko Green base, and use the fluorescent green as you would a pearl in the first coats of clear.
A little teaser of a project I've been working on... I'll let you know more over the weekend when I take it a little further.
