Members Cyberthrasher Posted March 10, 2012 Members Report Posted March 10, 2012 I love how much the simple black lines really darken up the red. That's a great contrast photo to show people the simple things that can bring out their work. Now, let's see if I can get similar quality coloring results Quote hellhoundkustoms.wordpress.com www.facebook.com/hellhoundkustoms www.etsy.com/shop/HellhoundKustoms

Members Cyberthrasher Posted March 11, 2012 Members Report Posted March 11, 2012 Man, after seeing how small your lace holes are in comparison to the rest - I don't envy you when it comes to that point. I gotta stop stressing over "ruining" my stuff with color and just get it done. Quote hellhoundkustoms.wordpress.com www.facebook.com/hellhoundkustoms www.etsy.com/shop/HellhoundKustoms

I have the second panel basic mock up with pictures already done, but still moving and adding them a bit. I see this one being done this week:) I might beat 120hrs:) I am just trying to get it done...my list is growing by the day and summer is coming already:) I juts have to buckle down and live with maybe a couple small things that I know are going to drive me crazy, but I really don't have to much time to look back. Full stem ahead and damn the torpedoes! Quote

My magical music box has plenty of Muddy, Hopkins,Wolf,Walter and Hooker in it as well...I'm no one trick pony! I also got a large collection of Western Swing and miles and miles of Country to go along with my seemingly endless collection of Blues and Hardcore:) Sometimes you just need some High Octane to get you through the late nights! Thanks by the way:) Quote

I've been in such a Pantera and Megadeth mood lately that I've lost track of my old school favorites.

Members AlleyCat434 Posted April 14, 2012 Members Report Posted April 14, 2012 Super rad!! I'm definitely jealous, I'd just about die for panels like this. I just got back from "VLV 15" (huge annual rockabilly car show in Las Vegas, if youre unfamiliar) and have to say that your panels blow anything out of the water that was at the show! Can't wait to see them finished. Quote

Members chancey77 Posted May 23, 2012 Author Members Report Posted May 23, 2012 I have been busting hump since last night to get this project back on track, and made a pretty big dent between last night and today, I will work through the night, but here is the latest as of right now...lots of color to add still, and still tooling like a mad man. It had been a while, but now I am hitting these hard again! Enjoy:) Quote
