Iron Chef 3: Gauss_storm

[miasma]

OMG Duane! from Burnley through to Richmond there are some awesome pieces of grafitti... you must not catch the train much. There:s a difference between a 'piece' and a 'tag' a piece being a big effort with a lot of colour and style, whereas a tag is just some poopyhead scrawling something to make it's mark. Sad.

Google image search for grafitti, you can get some great ideas, shrink them and print them on to something thin and whack it on your wall. Instant awesome right there.

I do like the idea here, but it needs oomph. Might want to think about making the outside and inside different colours. The walls will be a different colour to the outside, the walls on different levels can often be a different tone, if not a different colour altogether. The floor of the upstairs story will be different to the ceiling of the below story and whatnot.

Little details make all the difference.

Yeah but ONE section of nice graffiti in a whole train system... thats about a 1/100000000million chance. considering there is tags on buses. random houses, industrial sections...

But yeah those pieces at burnley are the only ones I like, I always stare at it as we go past.

Why is it too late for bullet holes gauss? its never too late to destroy something with a drill!

[gauss_storm]

I've added a ladder : / Nothing much more but I know Shonuff always wants me to add them : P




Well for now I've got alot to chew right now (finishing my city fight board which this building will be center piecing in)

Then start my Necron terrain set, then do a jungle terrain set, then where ever my imagination takes me *terrain addiction*

Come on more detals
It looks plain

*dives for cover*

[Shonuff]

Gauss, your buildings look great! ( ladders are a plus!)

But they sorta do need something to make them 'pop'

Like these:




Those buildings have detail...yes they're fruity colored, but the details around the openings and stuff do make the building look more like a ...'building'

Sho: helping.

[miasma]

And oh, how fruity they are.

But a good example illustrated, though, needs more cowbell.

[gauss_storm]

Those are good examples Shonuff and I will do stuff like that in the future. But I feel its to late to do anything drastic like that with the piece being painted and all.

So I added a bit more flare into the piece, just stuck some of my old tooth picks into the foam and painted them.

[Dark Angel Entreri]

very cool you might want to distress the walls a bit more next time but other than that looks great.

[omgitsduane]

One thing I would like to say, I dunno if its just an oversight or deliberate for one reason or another but the walls are too clean cut if you get what I mean, since the tops have been blown up I think the sides of the walls could do with some serious damage, at least on the very edges to show the building didn't just get cut in half, that it was RUINED in half.

All that being said its a big step gauss! glad to have you on the team!

I have an idea, make some holes and "dents" in the pipe, 'cause 2 ton pieces of concrete that have fallen on them should of left something.
