I've got an airbrush now, this is one of my first tries. Nothing too complicated, and I'm learning as I go. I'm pleased with it. Any comments?

Thanks guys. I dropped two magnets in each hand so it can hold the chain however. There are also silver accents on the toes, fingers and batman spikes but the pics don't show it too well. The body and arms are a dark grey with black hands, feet, and ribs, but again its subtle and the pics are all moody and dark (I hope).


Incidentally, he was a Punk 77 Skullwing and a Gold Alien Mantis originally. I'm enjoying airbrushing alot.

Nah, not that spectre. The colorscheme is based off an earlier custom I did years ago.

Here's a shot of one I'm still working on:

Very effective, the texture does really pop on the skull. The only thing I would like more is if the chain was a little grungy. Lookin' good!

Thanks man. these two are my first tries with an airbrush- I'm going to try something a little more ambitious next time up.

I was thinking the same, but I don't know how I would/should weather it...
