I like the effect the hand gives. To me though, something about it just doesn't look right. Yeah, dead flesh is pale, but this almost looks milky white to me. Maybe dry brush some blood, or give it some bruises with make up. Put some mud under the fingernails. Something.. dirty it up somehow. Great work so far though. Keep it up. +rep

Blood is something that is lacking and I intend to add when I get to the painting. In fact, I was looking at a couple of different hands, and my one buddy specifically said, "I'd like this one best if it had blood on it like this other one." I assured him that I'd add some on. ;)

Mega epic mod.
Looking good, expecting great things, that transparency is great!
Here’s a small update for you:
I have continued to work on a solution to my problem with the transparency. To recap, I really don’t have the room to properly light a window on that side, due to the mobo tray. (probably why people don’t generally put windows in that side.)
Currently, I am playing around with LEDs to see if that will work. To work with them, I only taped them in roughly to place that they will go. If I go with this plan, I will mount them in a neater and more permanent fashion.
The white LEDs are for the title and Ben, whereas the orange ones are mainly for text. So that I could get a realistic view of the final project, I cut a piece of cardboard for this side of the case. This is easier and more reversible than cutting the panel and hoping for the best.
If this works, then I can simply cut the panel and hopefully have it looks something like this:
I’m not going to have time to work again until the weekend, so I am going to think on this bit until then and decide if I like it.
In other news, I purchased the miniature tombstones and some foam-board, so work will probably commence on the base soon.
Gasp! That looks great! Fantastic idea dude!
I think I'm gonna tinker with your header, needs something...maybe headstones??

Take the hand into the garden, and dig a hole with it.
Then beat a Badger to death with it for blood and your laughing ;)
