If I was gonna try and make a living out of this....I run the risk of starving the first week...
Learned a bit about fishnet stockings on this one...was going to wrap the snake all around the shirt, but the stocking had so much spandex in it this stuff fought me all the way... I decided to opt for fading the snake out on the back... I'll just HAVE to go to the naughty shop and see if I can't find different...more "easy going" fishnet.

So here she is, my first airbrush shirt in ages... I put my studio name on the back (thanks Moe) with plotter cut lettering.
I have another one to do, a huge butterfly. Keep your fingers crossed for me...

I haven't really got a 'logo' as I change my mind SO much with what I like....so no 'corporate identity' for me. I just picked out this goofy font and did a colourshift in the lettering....I'll do different stuff on different things...whatever suits me...eventually if something sticks...who knows.

Terry Hill would have slapped me upside the head for what I was doing with this thing... I think I need a t-shirt class... something to make me faster, more accurate. I'm far too reliant on masks/acetate/tape. But dammit, when I want crisp...I want crisp. It's the logical draftsman in me, fuzzy bugs me.

That's really cool...Bet you'd get a lot of triple takes if ya wore that out on the Town.

I'm with you on the Logo thing..I always sign my stuff different, Depending on what i feel like at the time...I'd love a rock solid name i could put on everything..But can't seem to settle on one yet. Aww well.

I think the snake is amazing, especially the head. I really like the lettering too. What a great shirt to wear.

Wow you guys, I didn't expect such praise, really. THANKS!!
I wasn't happy with the transition between the head type scaling and the body (two different methods).....

Whit, I combed all sections of wallyworld for just such a thing, including the curtain dept. No such luck for me, so far. Will have to check out K-mart.

Just got back from "lovers lane" for different fish net. I won a bet, they had never heard my request before!!

Damn !!! I mean Jeeze, That is awesome. first off I was going to suggest using them lil scruncy bath things Some Ladys like. Unfolded it,s better than the fishnet, in My opinion . But then I blew up the pic,s . So nevermind. whatever You did is perfect, the skin ,lighting , colors. A great piece of work. Cowboy

Thanks again all... no biggie. Really. I masked and fiddled with it until I got what I was looking for...and alas D, no working from the imagination...got a book on snakes from the library. So I had pretty good reference, and just winged it. (like mostly always)

:clapping2: Wow from the shirt squirter here! excellent job. On what looks like a ribbed shirt too. Not easy to paint on for detail at all. I wouldnt worry about painting detail like that on shirt for profit. You charge for what your doing. Meaing that shirt for the right person would easly be worth what ever you would want to charge. Kudos. Very clean sharp edges.
