yeah that was my first build and my first time painting on primed wood. Im not even much of a guitar player i love them for their artistic value as much as anything lol, ive been hoping to drum up some business at some point so that I can have the pleasure of buying, painting, and assembling custom guitars. I have an warmoth purchased EB-3/SG style bass in the process over in the WIP section.

Well I used to paint watercolors on commission, and I painted mostly pets when I did that, but I can paint all sorts of things. I have done people, animals, houses, cars, and sci-fi fantasy.
I'm planning on doing some more sci fi/fantasy/surreal stuff soon. I haven't painted very much in the last year because I was busy working, getting the LP built, moving, and getting married. But my New Year's resolution is to get a bunch of new material done and hopefully a bunch of that will be more graphic art style and a little on the weirder side.

Most monitors kill artwork unfortunately - this is why I rarely do my daily work traditionally anymore. Which sucks because traditional painting is so much bloody fun. Oh well.
You've got some nice work there Hannah, I have praise for anybody who works in watercolor! It's a medium that I always struggled with before finding my oils niche.
And yes, this all makes me want to paint on a guitar body too....

A lot of people give me props because I paint with watercolor which supposedly is "hard to work with". It's funny, when I started painting, I started with watercolor. Because of that, I think acrylic is hard. I think it's just whatever you were "raised on".
I was raised on acrylic and then transitioned over to oil.... I never felt comfortable with the translucent paints I guess. I like more opaque stuff apparently.
None the less, I've been illustrating full time for years and I rarely find somebody who's comfortable with watercolors - you've got a good thing happening here, I hope you keep pursuing it :headbang:

I really like this one. Bit expensive to send a body from Australia though. Have you thought about doing pickguards? That could work for me.
Cheers

I'm a little ashamed but here is my second sale build. 2 is better than 1 right?
finally! my seymour duncan custom shop pickups should be here tomorrow or friday, and warmoth just sent me a QUANTUM VIEW (aka most exciting email you can receive). the warmoth item (don't know if it's the body or neck yet) is scheduled to arrive on the 23rd. merry early christmas to me!
