It's finally Done!!!

[Budman68]

Well, how fitting that I finish my "Reaper" guitar on this day! She's clearcoated and buffed and ready to kill [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] (now if only I could play the damned thing [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] ). Now I know how a lot of you feel about the "charcoal/pencil sketches" but I've always wanted one, but I wanted to do it myself and here she is in all her splendor [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]







Happy Halloween!!! [img]graemlins/toast.gif[/img]

That looks great Dave. How did you do that? I mean, did you seal/primer it and then do the sketch, then seal it again?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yes, I used white primer and let it dry for weeks [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] . Then I used the charcoal directly on it and since the primer has a fairly rough texture, it acts just like paper. It wasn't easy actually and it took 2 times to make it look right. Then I just used poly over it and that gave it its nice "yellowy/vintage" tint. It actually has a really shiny finish but I suck at taking pictures. I love how the white color makes it look like the headstock has binding [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Thanks again everyone! [img]graemlins/toast.gif[/img]
