Japanese Blossom Computer

[Twigsoffury]

so i've farted around a bit with my gals computer and wanted to try some new things out for the 1st time since i'm still pretty amateur when it comes to painting compared with you all and your paint jobs that would make Chip Foose stand in envy.



So i chalked the lines out free hand... and thought it seemed pretty sweet

painted the first coat

painted the pink secondary color

heres tonight, you can see the what i call rainbow on the other side panel. I'm trimming all the vinyl graphics with some stripes as well.

starting the top piece with the same style pin stripes

lower.

bottom.

The power light changes from Blue-Purple-Red and back. Theres also a LED circuit in there that changes RGB (green in that picture at the moment) and the 4" CCFL's inside the front.

anyways hope to hear what you all think, and opinions would be awesome. i've got to straighten out the stripes on the side, especially the pink. but the front and top i think will be solid white with those flowers and a black pinstripe instead of the stock silver. i'll have to do some testing though with the flowers first to see if my trim tape will accept it and not peel the image off.

the intel and nvidia stickers are going as well.


Insides going to have more pin stripes and a solid pink color., i've already painted the sides of the cpu heatsink (more on that later) and made it into a crazy contraption.

So far awesome job man. Are you going to put in a window so you can show off your work?

you know since this isn't a limited production case or something special.

I was thinking about blowing up a graphic of a blossom flower, then stenciling it to the side with the white pencil, then cutting out the shape and adding in a window to have a Japanese flower style window.

would be teh awesome and i've already got the tools.

Looks nice man, my favourite part by far is the hand painted detail though. Stuff like that shows your skill far more than the vinyl but the end result is great either way

Now THAT would set this mod above the others.

something like that? only less "i've been up 23 hours" and more "i totally kick a@# at this" in its design

If anyone can whip up a easy(ish) design to cut out that would fit this theme i'd more then welcome an idea or two.

What would look amazing is if you could use the same kind of image to design the window as you used on the front of the case. The big bloom just under the power button... If you could cut out JUST the pink areas and leave the black lines as part of the case it would look just epic

ooooh i see i see.


hmmm....

guess i'd have to take a picture of the sticker, then blow it up, photoshop out the pink and white areas hollow. then print out that, stencil it to some construction paper, then stencil THAT onto the case and proceed to cutting it up.
