Members mistersully Posted December 5, 2008 Members Share Posted December 5, 2008 that would be cool if Dean were to create this finish on one of their guitars !!!! what would be even cooler is if they got you on board with the project and you made some coin out of your creativity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SuproSuper Man Posted December 6, 2008 Members Share Posted December 6, 2008 hi GuitarNoobie, was just checking out the pics,,,two things i wanna say.. first - are your pics a bit green tinted,,, i copied one of them onto my pc and used a free basic photo enhance software to play with the tint of your pic and moved the colour scale away form green till the leather couch looked more like a tan light coffee colour...which looked cool too..but im not sure if the green tint i see is supposed to be there or if its at my end meaning that my PC system is imparting more green onto images,,,,either way the axe still looks great as i said before, just wondering about your photo settings thats all ... second - while i was looking at the pics of your axe, i got a crazy thought come to me,,,,Ok check this out, what would it look like if you did the water drop effect , then let it dry, and now get this, you did another water drop effect on top of the first one , ,water drops on top of water drops,,,,and maybe even did a third layer of drops on top of that, or maybe thats pushing it.... NOW HOLD ON, STOP ,,,relax man , no i dont mean to do it to that sweet guitar you just worked so hard on ,,, im just thinking out loud and curious what it would look like if someone did multiple layers of water drop effect...???? do you still have any of those sample cards left over that you made at the start of the project ,,,if you do and have some spare time, take one of them and put another layer of water drop effect over the first layer of water drop effect and see how it turns out... im kinda thinking it will turn out too busy looking and end up ugly and hard to tell what it is , but there is also the possibility that it might create something new, different , and maybe even cool looking ... if your all tuckered out, and sick of painting things, which is very understandable , then dont bother your self, but if your curious too and still got those test cards you made lying around and a little water drop paint left and are feeling curious then give it a very quick blast and see what happens.. just curious,,,,hmmm or did you already try it ? if so what did it look like?

Members mistersully Posted December 6, 2008 Members Share Posted December 6, 2008 i totally agree, but what's the chance of that :poke: i don't know mate but i honestly think that thing would sell ... big time... and the 'right' thing to do would be to give the creator a piece of the pie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rock-lobster Posted December 6, 2008 Members Share Posted December 6, 2008 So a question: has this ever been done on a guitar before? If not, you should send this whole story with pictures to some sort of magazine like Guitar World or Guitar Player. i bet they'd love to put that in their magazines somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The AWB (Auto White Balance) in your camera is probably just a little off. Take any photo program (the one that comes with MS office, or iPhoto or even the free Google Picasa) and just adjust the tint away from the green a smidge (toward the magenta), and maybe adjust the color temperature until it looks natural.

Members ItchyFingers Posted December 9, 2008 Members Share Posted December 9, 2008 while i was looking at the pics of your axe, i got a crazy thought come to me,,,,Ok check this out, what would it look like if you did the water drop effect , then let it dry, and now get this, you did another water drop effect on top of the first one , , water drops on top of water drops,,,,and maybe even did a third layer of drops on top of that, or maybe thats pushing it.... I tried this multiple drop layer idea, and it did not work. It just takes away from the initial layer's ability to stand out. It could have been the color combo I used though. I tried using the exact opposite of GuitarNoobie and did silver on black background with the water drop effect. It came out cool, but not nearly as nice as the V!!!
