Need graphic ideas for a Warrior

[MOSHWITZ]

I need some ideas for a paint graphic on a warrior body. The only real criteria is it has to be able to be done by masking but, There is access to a vinyl cutter so it don't have to be just a Rising sun or bullseye type of traditional graphic and I've thought of all the most common ones you'd find and I'm not really feeling none of them, so I'd like to see something cool and uncommon that would work on a warrior body. It can bee pictures, artwork, stencils, doodles, ideas, whatever, as long as it can be scanned and cut .

Ok,, Let's see something cool

Warbird graphics look great on a Warrior but that requires airbrushing.

I guess an EVH striped job maybe?

anything black/white.

What kind of things do you like? What theme do you want to go with on the guitar? Funny? Mean? Evil?

[MOSHWITZ]

Well, I thought about the Warbird thing,, but that is pretty common to think of on a Warrior,,and I already have a 90 Bolted Steel Warrior,, and the VH stripe thing was never my bag. I'm looking for something out of the ordinary. been looking at tattoo stencils also,, but nothing has grabed me that don't look like it would just be a sticker on a guitar.

Anyway, thanks guys keep 'em coming.


MATT... I was typing when you posted....I'm really kinda open as I really don't know what I want, that's why I put it out there like this. I do know I don't want something that has been done to death, and I'd really prefer something as "NON-Cheesy" as possible.

The spiral checker board. The kind of stuff that almost gives you a headache to look at

Dave, do you have any colors in mind? What about some different finishes like chrome (can be colored chrome), glow-in-the-dark or some of that "real feel" leather stuff? I had a Charvel Snakeskin guitar done in the "reel feel" finish and it turned out awesome. I chose a corn snake instead of the typical python.

What about something like this from Japanese Jackson Guitar Fan Club website?

You can change those graphics to something else you like but that black and white theme could work well on a warrior.

What about the symbols for either biohazard or radiation? Yeah, I know they've been done before.

Check out http://www.inzanedecals.com/ I have used one of their decal sets and I was really happy with the results. But, if you dont want to go that route, you can get some ideas from the designs on the site.

I like some of the iron cross stuff,,, but once again,,,,looking for something less common ;-

Keep 'em rolling

Put the cock dragon on there somewhere.

Maybe a Jolly Roger? Something like this but more centered? You can skew the theme anyway you like. I think with the warrior body you can come up with some cool stuff.

Dave, if it were me, I would think about which direction I would want to go with the iron cross - German (WW 1 or WW 2) or biker themed. That might give you a direction to go in.

I've designed half a dozen graphics for guitars I've owned over the years and I always start with a theme (e.g. zombies, summer fun at the beach, camouflage, etc.) then I start pounding the 'net for inspiration and let it take me where it may.

I also mock up things in Photoshop and import the composite image into the guitar creator here, to get an idea of how it look on the instrument.

Matt_B,
You should post some of the designs you have done - They are unique and tasteful.
