Croike!

Been a long time since I've posted, but it's largely to no one so it matters not. I won the airbrush contest, which was a huge surprise but it made me feel my efforts were appreciated, there were some great artists who participated!



I buggered it up by spilling dark blue paint on the lower left area, so I ended up painting the whole area blue, then putting white flames there to mask the dark blue that came through. I also got a big purple smudge across her forehead which took forever to cover, and a dark blue drip down her arm when I thought I was done, cleaned that up and there were two more down her forearm. Never did figure out where they came from but I sure was glad to get her done, that was a 40+ hour job I don't care to do again.

I've decided to get into custom motorcycle and automotive painting, I've always liked cars, almost went into autobody work when I was just out of highschool. I took to the airbrush like I'd been doing it all my life, so apparently this is where I'm supposed to be. So long as it's fun and a bit challenging, I should manage to prevent boredom and maintain an income, thus preventing a life on the mean streets of Hootersville. Great way to meet men with actual jobs and legal hobbies which is a big plus. I'm needing to choose which artist to study with for my contest prize, everyone says Nub seems to be the one for me, he paints for Orange County Choppers, so he is probably good, and I will be top of my field or not at all. It will be a good start for me.

I can't spend all of my day here talking to no one, so I'm off.
