and a looooong way to go.



clevohardcore - 11-18-2008 at 09:21 AM

OUCH!


Lucky bastards have no back hair. You have no idea how fortunate you are. :lol:

Jason the Magnificent - 11-18-2008 at 09:44 AM

Not true...I have at least 7!

CR83 - 11-18-2008 at 09:45 AM

WOW! That is amazing!

Jason the Magnificent - 11-18-2008 at 09:50 AM

It's basically this:

with the Chicago skyline instead of the one in the existing art.

Currently its just the light grey outline of everything above the wall and he's started shading the mushroom cloud and laid in the flat black spots. He still needs to do the whole outline below the wall and all the roaches...someday...haha. Have a feeling he'll stall on that till he's got nothing left to do on the upper part.

Should be a nice 2 year period of grinding.

clevohardcore - 11-18-2008 at 10:18 AM

DAMN. You got to keep us up to date on that.

JawnDiablo - 11-18-2008 at 11:14 AM

that's going to look killer.
keep us posted as it continues!

BKT - 11-18-2008 at 11:40 AM

That will look sick when it is done.

MM.

ShawnRefuse - 11-18-2008 at 01:18 PM

it's gonna look sick.

Furly - 11-18-2008 at 01:21 PM

Very nice.

DAK - 11-18-2008 at 02:24 PM

Insect Warfare. And that is Houston's skyline. Nice.

Jason the Magnificent - 11-18-2008 at 02:33 PM

I figured it might be Houstons but wasn't sure. I ghetto'd it up with Chicago's in either case.

Jason the Magnificent - 11-18-2008 at 07:05 PM

Figured I'd post some of the guys other work...he's more of a color guy but I torment him with blackwork to keep him in form.

I've mentioned this before...my band arm, but never had pics:
Carnivore, DRI< GG Allin, Neglect, Bad Brains, Misfits, Motorhead, Ringworm, Insult to Injury...I think thats it haha. The DRI inner arm like the bat signal is still not done...someday.

and the Misfits isn't his.

dude did you let the guys in the band and the artist know you are doing this...
they are going to be so fucking stoked...

Jason the Magnificent - 11-18-2008 at 11:36 PM

sure havent...through their myspace?

defstarsteve - 11-18-2008 at 11:42 PM

i'll send them the thread

Jason the Magnificent - 6-24-2009 at 05:20 PM


Jason the Magnificent - 6-24-2009 at 05:25 PM

Really bad crackling on the flat back...my fault kind of I guess...just a shitty spot to heal rolling around at night etc. Getting that touched up is going to suck.

Probably another 2 sessions then we'll outline the lower half and start again.

defstarsteve - 6-24-2009 at 06:12 PM

fuck...

Wow. Looking good.

random - 6-24-2009 at 10:56 PM

looking really good. i didn't comment after the first pic because i didn't want to be an asshole, but the black areas on the initial pic didn't look so good. seriously looks like a new and much better artist has been doing the work since then. gonna be a nice back piece in the end.

Jason the Magnificent - 6-25-2009 at 05:40 AM

it's all the same artist. its hard to judge something like this until you start seeing large fields done...its a lot of black to take in. i know sometimes I'll come back and wonder what the hell direction he's going in and after the following appointment another portion fills in tying stuff together and it pops.

I know I'll be happier when we can go back and fix those black patches that healed so shitty but at this point thats a long way off.

CR83 - 6-25-2009 at 09:21 AM

Amazing, just amazing. Very very cool.

Jason the Magnificent - 9-28-2009 at 01:11 PM

probably the last upper session before he does the lower outline. eventually we'll fix the shitty healed black and do the outer ribcage stuff, like the hands.


JawnDiablo - 9-28-2009 at 02:00 PM

wicked

Jason the Magnificent - 12-11-2009 at 08:07 AM

Outline done and probably the last one I'll post till it's complete.

Really not looking forward to all the "side" rib type stuff around his hands and the edges of the building that will finish off the sides...that's going to suck. The lower back shading will be much easier to handle I'm thinking. So much sitting.




tireironsaint - 12-11-2009 at 11:48 AM

Coming along nicely!

clevohardcore - 12-12-2009 at 09:58 AM

Damn, that looks wicked.

JawnDiablo - 12-12-2009 at 11:53 AM

i really dig this
someday when i finally get my finances in order i am going to get some serious ink.
all my old shit from the early 90s in shithead tattoo shops of shitheads i knew really looks inferior to what is being pumped out these days.
un fortunatley i got far too much from those mooks,

Jason the Magnificent - 7-27-2010 at 07:39 PM

almost there...some work on the sides to finish off the...well...sides. then the touch up stuff. hard to believe it's been 2 years. the insects are all fairly fresh and a hair darker till they settle in...but you get the idea.




Discipline - 7-27-2010 at 07:44 PM

He did an amazing job on the insects. The whole thing is incredible.

Jason the Magnificent - 7-27-2010 at 07:48 PM

I read back a bit in this thread just now...mentioning that I hoped the lower back shading was easier. It wasn't, lol... that shit sucked and the love handles fucking sucked more

and that shit right in the middle of the spine...oi vey.


clevohardcore - 7-28-2010 at 01:33 AM

Those fucking insects look like they are real, insane real.

JawnDiablo - 7-28-2010 at 09:22 AM

yeah man the bugs are sick!

tireironsaint - 7-29-2010 at 10:23 AM

That's looking really nice, the roaches make the piece.
