    ok been engraving a "few" things along the way .. and i just had to try combine the engraving with airbrushing and this is what happend..

    need to thank [​IMG] for the case..

    the case itself a regular black case ..

    here i have cutout the eye for the color to stay withing some parts of the fully motive.. a template you could say .. :)
    [​IMG]

    after a few minutes
    [​IMG]

    im no pro on airbrush but i hope it looks like an eye :)
    [​IMG]

    after a "VERY" long time of filling this is what it lookslike ..

    ok still some things to show ..

    ok the top of the case .. i thing some "deep" flames would look sweet (got no idea how it will look tho but why hold back :rock:
    [​IMG]

    put the template on the top ..
    [​IMG]

    roughly lined up and filled..
    [​IMG]

    here you can see what direction it will be engraved to get a deeper look ..
    [​IMG]

    and here you can see how the "deep" in it will show ..
    [​IMG]

    ok the case is done .. this is the final steps i did ..


    the top .. looks really good actually :naughty:
    [​IMG]

    this is something i need to do .. a window to be able to show the stuff inside later on . 2 small tribal eyes like the big one on the other side..
    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    a small start
    [​IMG]

    here you can allmost see what shall be cutout
    [​IMG]

    nothing special .. but instead of the usual square a more rounded one
    [​IMG]

    taking shape
    [​IMG]

    and looks kinda good and diffrent ..
    [​IMG]

    the plexi will be put to place with dubbelsided tejp
    [​IMG]

    Very very nice.

    I'm not sure about the eye in colour though. Maybe somekind of a border between the white and the actual engraving.

    yeah that was my thought too .. but the engraving is "hardlined" and the airbrushing is the other way around .. and it is kinda odd to have it like this .. looks eeeh ODD ..lol

    This design is really cool. Never saw eyes in a casedesign like this... Really neat engraved as well. I admire your tribal like flames (or framelike tribals) on the casetop, the creation of illusionable different layers.. Delicious

    Its superb engraving and the airbrushing in the centre of the fine engraving is amazing, I have never seen it done in that fashion before. But im not sure about the "cloud" shaped windows, it doesnt fit in with the design, I would of chosen a rectangle with curved corners. But perhaps it will look more "complete" with the PVC in the window and the mod completed, but it shows great amounts of promise and the engraving is used so very well...
