I went with a tribal thing for the hood. It gave me some problems along the way, but it worked out pretty good in the end.

dude, that hood is sweet!
I like it better than the sides, but the sides add to it as well.
damn good job.

Hey you know what? If you're saying it looks too much like one of them street tuner types, then that's perfect, 'cause that's what I was going for. I saw that Street Tuner magazine is having a monthly graphic contest. So I wanted to do something that would appeal to them, and suit my taste also. I've made some beer money drawing plates for tattoo artist when I was younger, so I dig the theme, even though I don't have a tattoo on my body.



Thanks for the comps guys. That was definately the most intricate masking I've done yet. I was hoping people would appreciate the time I put into it.

Stop on by CD we will fix that I will make sure you go home all inked out :)


I realy hate to look at any flossin or custom job posts with the word xmods in the title for fear I might end up broke and buy a ton of the shit.

But man those graphics look hot and I think that is something that the tuner mag will love :)

Now that you mentioned beer time to grab another :-)

Really nice, Dave. The masking on the hood is incredible. I don't mean to be rude in asking this, but is the design original? If so, that's amazing in it's own right. I kinda assume so since you mentioned the tattoo shop gig.

How is it working on a car where the hood isn't as big as your thumbnail? I haven't taken to painting my Xmod yet as I just keep pounding the crap out of it on the track, it will need new paint soon enough.

Well that depends on how you define original. I saw this design on a 1/10th scale paint mask, but it wasn't the right shape. So I redrew it, with a shorter, wider shape, taking out parts, and adding little parts. I don't know if you'd consider that my original work, but it was hand drawn.

If it makes any difference, I think I paid more attention to how things should line up, and got it more symetrical than the original design.

...and don't worry, it wasn't rude to ask, you don't just pull designs like that out your ass. I wish I could say I did.

On one hand it's great, more room to work, lets me get away with a lot more intricate stuff. On the down side, that intricate stuff takes a lot longer to do.

****EDIT:
Here's the graphic I worked off of. If you compare, you can see how I reworked it to suit my needs.
