Fun with ink pens

[soldersqueeze]

I'll update this with a completed build in the next week or so, but I wanted to show the paint job before I possibly ruin it when I inevitably slip with a drill later on    It's the third enclosure I've finished and I thought I'd try something a little different.





Drawing on the sides of the enclosure may be something I don't rush to do again, it's really awkward and I'm undecided as to whether or not it was worth the time and effort. Still, it's always good to experiment!

For anyone curious, I think this is going to house a nautlius and low rider... for funky, funky goodness

If having a cool enclosure is the goal, what you did to the sides of that box is well worth it.

Wow, that looks really amazing! The sides are incredible.

[fendman]

That looks really good hmmm

[Micpoc]

Really nice, soldersqueeze. What type of finish is already on the enclosure, and what kind/brand of ink pen are you using?

[aballen]

Definitely worth the trouble doing huge sides.  This looks amazing .

[whitebread47]

Whoa, that looks amazing! 

Do you mind if I ask what kind of pens you used?

I'm awful at painting with a brush but can draw relatively well, so I'm always looking for a way to incorporate that in my builds.

You have a really nice style (and are a really good artist) It's cool when you can recognize someone's work, just from the box. (which you can with a lot of folks here.

I think your stuff is hands down the best paintpen work I've ever seen.
