[skullfcuk]

Interesting fact about how the droplets are achieved. That's ingenious!

Has he got a modlog for his Crysis case??

[Colossous]

Nice Airbrushing and cool game.

[FLMJIGGY]

Starting to look real good. Great job!

I have to say this is one of the most impressive paintings I have seen on a case, your work until now is phenomenal. It will definitely be a shame when you have to put hardware inside and fill it up with dust...

Behave!

[jbartlett323]

The week from hell:

Well the lack of updates has been for a few reasons, firstly my internet was down and then things decided to go from bad to worse…

I was painting the main section of the case, finished the photograph which you will see later… pulled the masking tape off to finish the design and… well to cut a long story short, my bin is now full of unused B and q masking tape rolls!

Then I had to use ‘the N word’ ( Nitro mors) and pretty much start from scratch on the mid section.

How could it get worse?

Shortly after this, I was putting the case back onto the bench, lost my balance and nocked my airbrush off its stand, so now I have a bare metal case, and an airbrush with a 90 degree bend in the needle, and a potentially ruined fluid nozzle to boot ( these 2 parts cost more than the average beginners airbrush to replace! ) I’ve now been waiting days for a spare needle to arrive, so in the mean time I managed to find an old needle that is a little worse for wear, but kinda works. So I have been using that.

SO on with the update?
I cant really undertake any serious work on this case until my airbrush is 100%, Its not worth it!

Ill start from where I left off.
The side panel with the mural is nearly done. All colour to the whole case will be added at the very end. Up until now its all black and white.

The rest of the case has proved a little difficult to decide on a design. The problem is that there’s just hardly and space to work on.
I quickly mocked up the case and heres what I have so far.



I decided to play bioshcok form the start again, as this is where the strongest images are. From this I took the city scape of Rapture from the pause menu, and some images from when your first in the elevator going under the ocean.



Remember this from the area where you first get the plasmids?

The ‘welcome to rapture is masked in negative, so when the mask is pulled it looked like this:




Going back to the scene in the elevator, I remembered that slide show that Ryan shows, and the photo that sticks in your head “from the desk of Ryan”

Now this is the point where I had the problems, during which time my brother decided to borrow my camera and I forgot to change the settings back to how I needed them. So some of the pics are a tad poor in places.



Again, I cant finish this bit until I get my new needle! Which is why the guys face looks a little off. But this also has a lot to do with the photo’s

I start off with masking film, and start to pic the parts out to paint the boarder of the photo, along with the curls ( which will be bettered come the new needle! ( argh I need a needle))




I pick the parts of the text:




spray the rough shape, mostly just basic reference points

Try my best with what I have got to get something half decent


un masked:


and where it stands at the moment:


That’s all for now folks ! thank for being patient.
If you’re thinking its looking a bit bland, just wait until I add the colour

[Colossous]

Jeez and i thought i had a bad week !! Keep up the good stuff dude !

[JargonGR]

I only wish I could paint like that! Truly amazing airbrushing skill.

[Nate P.]

Dang... hopefully you get everything sorted out soon... and REALLY nice painting!

[disruptfam]

That so awesome U GOT MAD SKILLS!!

[ComputerGuy87]

looking cool man cant wait to see it done

[skullfcuk]

That looks utterly stunning, so i'm away to see my Doctor today. He's going to take a look at my heart and tell me if it's up to seeing the finished product

Thanks for taking the time to show us all what you've been up to, despite a real week from hell. I bent all three of the needles for my Rotring airbrush a few years back. By accident. But never replaced them. I see your work and feel the itch again, bad. You're incredibly encouraging, and your work is inspiring.

I look forward to the next update with baited breath!

[ChaosMinionX]

Insane case, cant wait to see the finished product in its clearcoat glory

[eToh]

WoW. That looks amazing.

Keep up thegreat work.

[hmammen]

looks amazing....god i wish you sold your cases.

[Fr3ak]

Very impressive painting so far. Keep it up !

[VoGonPT]

Try my best with what I have got to get something half decent

Are U kidding? HALF decent?

I wouldn't be able to do that even with "the 9856 ultra gts airbrush kit" in my hands

Keep up the excelent work mate!

Behave!

*drool*


Everything just 'pops' off the black , especially the postcard thing(from desk of ryan)

Under no circumstances are you to be discouraged with the bad week you have had, if you stop in the middle of this project (unless it's for the crysis project ) alot of us will be very disappointed
