Guitar Hero Artification Project

 This is a piece I made for the GuitART hero exhibition at Mana Bar  Brisbane.

 Wasn't sure what I was going to do, so I pulled it apart and gave it a primer coat.


After formulating a plan, I painted some bits irradescant green and the main parts back to black, which was a bit redundant because most of them were already black.
 
 Sculpted a few little ghoul heads and tentacles to go onto the main part

 Re-assembled the guitar, rubbed a dark purplish colour the black to add to the texture of the paintbrush strokes. See, there was a reason for painting the black parts white then black again.
Added purple spirals and  a bat and an eyeball to go in the remote hole.

painted up the sculptural elements.


 Added green oozing out of the guitar, well it was white paint painted over with a green/ glow in the dark coat.
 Combined!
 A few coats of glow on the dark paint on the green areas and some darker greens for edges and accents.
 Jam in some glow stick tubes and you're good to go.
