Nice. Good Seattle chap there! :)
While we're digging up Seattle musicians, hoe about flipping a guitar around so it looks like they're holding it by the neck before smashing it , ala Kurt Cobain? ;)

I think this could probably be managed as well! Man, I'm going to need to get some new green stuff for some of these...

All great ideas though, keep them coming!

Just had the thought that, even though he didn't have a guitar, I could do a Freddie Mercury one as well...

If they're wearing that jacket, then yes

Nice work, Ruth! Too late to do a double-neck a la Jimmie Page?


I said the same thing too. Other ideas included:

I thought of Jimi, too.

Going back to Pete Townsend, you could have a Noise Marine smashing his guitar. Or how about a Flying V that was popular with hair metal bands?

So I had a lot more free time tonight than I thought I would, and I worked on a few of the "Famous guitarists"

Here's Jimi Hendrix, with his guitar on the ground on fire (this one's for you, Dave):
Image
I just ended up cutting the guitar off of his chest, and shaving it down a bunch, and green-stuffed arms in the air, as well as flames on the ground. I had to get some initial sand down on the base, since the guitar is supposed to be lying on the ground, and I'll go back and do a proper sand/rock base later. I'll re-prime tomorrow once the green stuff is cured (hopefully).

And here's Eric Clapton's SG, a suggestion from one of the guys I work with:
Image
It's a little hard to tell in the picture...but in person it looks pretty ok. I had to look this guitar up when my co-worker told me about it, and it was pretty cool, but highly detailed. But I figured I'd give it a shot anyways. Here's a reference picture for the actual guitar if you don't want to google it:

I got some more guitars worked on tonight.

The Jimi Hendrix with flaming guitar:

Gene Simmons:

And I made the double guitar (yet to be painted):

Not shown here: B.B. King's "Lucille"

I think I only have two or three to go, and then they all get pink and some grey highlighting.

Love Jimi and an awesome job on Gene Simmons' face.

These are awesome! Not strictly "guitar" based but you could google gwar if you're feeling particularly insane!

If anything screams chaos, it'd be them. ;)
wholly concur with Alf O'Mega. He is wise.

Well, Epicomp is over, so I figured I'd post my entries here.
(although it's probably obvious which ones were mine :) )

I'm pretty pleased I came away with a heat victory...I've got a few projects for next year started already!

Thanks for the comments, everyone!

I do still have a few guitarists to go...a headband is easy enough, and I might be able to work in one of the guys from Gwar...I've also had requests for some ZZTop, Kurt Cobain, and others. There's definitely going to be a guy smashing a guitar over his head.

I'm hoping these guys perform admirably tomorrow! Maybe a few more pictures tonight, if I get to work on them :)
