Horned Skull on my ute bonnet

[Cuda]

Hello hope everyone is well. Finally got the guts to try something differant then pocket bike's and gave a skull a go on the bonnet of my ute.It aint cleared yet needed the ute so had to chuck it back on. Any pointers to make it better next time most welcome.

that is fantastic work if ur asking for pointer to make it better i think its great the way it is the only thing i would do if i could be able to render something like this is i would add a backround although its hot enuff as is i would add a backround maybe something basic like ripping out the hood or comming out someones stomach even something like flames but like i said before thats hot as it just my 2 cents

very nice job cuda.
even though it looks like it sticks out of the hood i have to agree with zero it would look not better but more finished with a backround.

very cool .......

Very awesome Cuda! Like the style and the cleanliness.

Killer Cuda! I agree, a background would really finnish it off.

[Kaiilla]

I'm goin' just the opposite!!!

I REALLY like how it appears to "float" over the surface.

I would definitely not add a background to it.

But hey, everybody has different tastes and those who do not agree with me are a sad, deprived, wretched lot!

don't mess it up but try doing another panel and add different background to find one that will make it seems to be floating thru. the AIR which I like the most

[Neder/Brit]

If you want to add a backgroud that,s up to you but no matter what way you go for, it look cool to me

[AirTodd]

That is a cool looking design.Nice work.

[lonestar58]

Cuda ,,,, what a great design . As for a background or not , it depends on the image you are trying to convey to those looking at it . Both ways are right but each will lend a different message to your mind . So you must decide what it is you are trying to say with it . Then let your paint work for that purpose . Keep up the great work though ,, it is very good .

[lonestar58]

This is two skull attempts I've done , but they are from a t-shirt kit , so I had something to copy , they need work also . Working from your own image is tougher than copying someone elses work . So keep your head up and keep trying , you'll make it .The date on the pictures are wrong . These were done this past January .

Hey Cuda, too bad it's on a falcon brother..

HEHE,

Nice work there mate, you should bet plenty of call now this driving around the streets of NSW

[xzotic ink]

[chucktx]

nice work...thanks!

[khalid49er]

bonnet should i say more i havent heard tht word in ages am so use to the word hood lol but back home where am from bonnet is the word we use ps do u call the trunk, boot lol nice work champ keep it up

[rowie]

Yes we do Khali, the hardest thing is hunting around for the boot/trunk hinges for my 36 D2 Dodge sedan has been an education.

I know most of us talk english but all these different words for the samn darn thing is such a pain!

[Cuda]

thank's for the comments everyone.it's my 5th skull so was pleased it at least had some depth when i first finished . I do agree some background would be cool but I also like the way it looks like it's floating above the bonnet. So am going to buy another bonnet (hood) lol. and do another .

Yes Rowie it's a falcon would rather it a valiant ute being a mopar/chrysler man myself but not easy to find val ute's nowadays. And for only $2000 and no rust and straight i couldn't say no.

here is a pic of my first ever skull about 15 months ago and 3rd i did about 10 months ago thanks to everyone on here that has helped me in slowly improveing my skill with the AB.
regards steve

I had a gut feeling Cuda had deeper meaning.

You should check out my old Mopars, good to have a fellow Penstar fan aboard.

WE WANT TO PLAY, bonnet is hoods ,boot is trunk, petrol is gasoline , what are the doors called ? shoehorn ?

[Cuda]

Sweet old mopars there Rowie make couple cool hot rod's.Redneck I think doors are doors. as for shoehorned I usually just say where's the gas axe an it'll fit

on another note just baught another bonnet for the ute will try a background on this one just so hard to think of what being as the ute is white .

thanks cuda, I throw the word [shoehorn ] in because most people need one to keep from hitting their head or knees when getting into their cars

[rowie]

You need a shoehorn to get in these things red, these are cars I used to own and drive.

Now this GT40 is an original, it's not my one but the colour and style is exactly the same, we even have an original set of FoMoCo/Shelby factory drawings to build the replicas from.

I don't have the time, money or energy to build them anymore but my best mate Martin does.

[AirTodd]

Lonestar,
I have those black shirt designs also.How you like them.You did good on the skulls.I have not cut them out.Now I just need to try them.

[snazee_d]

oh rowie that is one of my favorite car the cobra, that is one sweet ride
