Just figured I'd share... friendly criticism welcome
 

So a friend of mine passed two months back in a motorcycle accident. So I decided to build a cross out of the bike parts left from his bike. Also made a plaque and metal ribbon to go on the cross. Anyhow here is a vid of me working on the plaque and some pics of the finished product before clear. Keep in mind this is only the second time I have airbrushed a portrait.

I am planning on giving this to his mom so she can have a memorial for him to display by the spot he was killed.

the actual cross is made of bike parts... the portrait in on a piece of scrap metal i painted base black with white, silver met., and HOK cobalt blue candy.

The banner is scrap metal painted base white, with HOK Cobalt blue candy.

well done, i wish i had that kind of talent

seriously, that is touching. thats a good thing youve done there. it looks great. Im sorry to hear about your friends passing. RIP

^Ditto... And you have skills with airbrush btw.

nice work, you have skills for sure. Very nice tribute. Heres hoping you won't have to make any more in the forseeable future.

really nice thought and very well executed. portraits are hard as **** to get right, and you've done a great job

That's very cool! I have no artistic talent whatsoever so you'll get all the praise in the world from me haha. I think it's a great thing you've done for your friend.

Can't see the vid at work. But, I'm sure it turned out great. Even if it sucked, it would still be awsome because of the origional idea.

Congrats and keep up the good work!

i think it's awesome!!!

Pretty touching to do something like that.
