Some Airbrush stuff... (DUW)

[invadertoast]

Hey guys, I've been trying to improve my airbrush skills these past few months and am pretty psyched about a couple recent attempts. One of them is kind of snake related so I thought I'd share it here!

First, this is my first attempt EVER at painting a portrait and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out! Started this on Tuesday, finished it on Wednesday, which ironically was Alice Cooper's birthday (I swear I had no idea when I started it!)

I did this with automotive paint on sheet metal, first pic is before clear coat, second pic is after clear coat




Next, after a zillion attempts at painting fire I FINALLY almost have it. Did this one a couple weeks ago:



And lastly, a dog portrait IN PROGRESS! It looks kinda creepy right now but I'm happy with it so far. Hoping to finish it tomorrow or Monday.

Thats freaking awesome,

That is some serious skill. Hope you're rightfully proud of those pieces!

I love just how realistic those look Some people are good at making cartoony-looking art, others lean more to the surreal.. But the alice cooper and fire pieces look pretty darn close to photos that were touched up to look like they were painted.. lol

Wow, those are pretty awesome.

I really like the fire, that had to be hard to make it look that realistic!

Thanks guys! I think the realism comes from the airbrush, I can't draw or paint anything remotely close to realistic using anything but an airbrush, lol

I really like the fire, that had to be hard to make it look that realistic!

I think that one was attempt number 14 or 15 over the course of 3 months... after that one finally came out good I haven't tried to do it again yet - I'm too scared! lol

WOW! Those are awsome! The one of AC is very impressive. I also see who I am coming to when I get a new Bike and want a flame job!
