Nice work. Kinda hard to see the details because of the glare off the lexan, but from what I see it looks nice. Nice job on the skull.

I wish my "trying to learn" bodies would look that good.

That's some mighty nice work for a rookie with a airbrush for the first time your technique is surprisingly sophisticated.

Keep posting up your results. I think you probably have some natural skills for this painting thing.

Uhhh, I'm thinking that this isn't his 1st time with an airbrush... MAYBE the 1st time on a lexan body, but definately not a 1st attempt with an airbrush. You may want to check out the link in his sig...

Awesome looking job in any case though

There is a HUGE difference though airbrushing a lexan body than normal stuff though. Totally different technique. Painting stuff like this, the person has to see the image before its even there to do the shading.. Not saying these are harder... ok maybe I am..lol.. Painting normally is hard enough but in reverse is even harder.. to me anyway

Looks good. One thing I noticed is that people tend to put to much detail into the areas that are gonna be cut off for clearence reasons, might wanna keep that in mind.

Yard sale was the only quote he had at the time of my post CPE MT, the other information came later.

To set the record straight these guys have been painting for years but this was the first time on lexan. Those pics dont do it justice at all.
