Can I ask how long that took Tobes. I think you have real talent, personally if you want results in the art world you need to spend lots of time preping and even more doing imo. I think that looks cool

That is pretty good. Can only be an improvement on such a fine piece of equipment.

That on took 3 pink floyd songs and a led zep song. Hows that for time?

I'm shit at art

So about 12-15 minutes unless the Led Zep song was Archilies last stand, then maybe 25.
Youre far from shit at art mate, infact thats raw talent. I reckon if you keep at it you will become great

31.78min

Just check my youtube history

I can't draw with a pencil I should say.

How do you get the image onto the metal? If you get that right the rest will be easier.

Free hand it mate, start with a line and work it out along the way.

If you could trace onto paper then stick that on then engrave the main outlines on through the paper, would that work?

probably would

looks a little better in person with the different reflections of light on it
