A couple projects for clients of mine and a seller

[Bjorn.LaSanche]

Here are some photos of a couple pint jobs I am working on at the moment. The first is one of a series of guitars that a local shop plans on offering for sale. They are themed after the store which has tat 1950s SciFi / Monster Schlock Slayer meets The Misfits meets Texas outlaw country type thing. These will be purple as this one is, green, blue, and orange. 
 

The following photos are of a guitar I’ve been sitting on for about 10 years. I picked it up for under $50 at a pawnshop. Found out that the body was split off center and almost all the way through. The result of a scorned woman because after I pulled off all the stickers  that were covering it there was some really nasty things carved into the finish.  Long story short, I like the early2000 era body of the nj warlocks. They were proper to the model. The headstock?  Why would anyone want the image of a scrotum cut out of the headstock?  Well first. This is how a blood splatter is supposed to be done.  When you think it’s right?  Add more, when it looks gnarly take it to disgusting.  Use a different paint than the base and clear so it makes the red bubble a little then let it sit for a month, then clear to cover. Let the red finish curing, level sand until it’s all somewhat smooth, then clear it til it’s smooth.  Which is what I’m doing now.

The two pictures before the very last one look more authentic to me.

The red looks darker, more like dried blood, the last pic just looks like red paint splatter.

Maybe its just the flash effect.

What is the message or theme you're trying to capture with this?

Is it supposed to represent some particular gruesome event or violence of some sort?

Like, out of all the themes possible, what made you want to do a blood splatter?

Just curious.
