Hi dudes, what's up!
Well, last week I was talking to a close friend who is a "Sin City" series fan. After a while we've got a deal. He's going to let me mod his case. The theme is easy, black & white.
How can I do that? The best way is using my favourite technique: engraving. If you dind't know about "Sin City" series, they've written by Frank Miller, all of them in black and white withount any gradient (imposible(?) to do with engraving), there's also a movie if you don't want to read because you can get exaust tourning pages ^^
I read all the comics after that conversation (I saw the movie some time ago) looking for some inspiration and I found it.
The case to mod is a Cooler Master Centurion 5, I have some minor problems:
- The case it's pre-engraved [joke], has some scratchs. I'll try to fix them later.
- My friend is using the case, so I must do it panel by panel.
After that introduction(8 lines? that's nothing) here's the idea:
- Right side (looking from the front of the case): I'll engrave 3 pages of the comics like if you trow them over a desk. (pictures down 1,2,3)
- Letf side: Engrave a silhouette and the Sin City logo and paint the logo in red (semitransparent, like bulb paint)(pictures 4,5)
- Front side: Paint some blood-like splash, if the blood touch the black zone, engraving & paint.
1, 2 and 3
4 and 5 (this last one is "The jewel of the crown")
(only the logo)
Suggestions (constructive) are welcome.
I took two picts.
First one, the work from 20:30 to 21:00, it's the first picture from the opening post. Lots of imperfections because it isn't finished yet:
And the second one, those are the bits I'm using for engraving. Not Dremmel brand cause they're very expensive. Also the "must have" Flexishaft(?):
Incidences: One big black fly (model jumbo 747) constantly f******. Still here, I think I'm going to adopt her.
Remaining time: Lots of hours.
It's a shame I haven't sponsors who gave me a new case (hello there?), there are some serious scratches in the panel. Tomorrow, with light, I'll take some pictures of it. This is a "must finish" mod.
Stay tuned.
