DA Guitarby ~MrGone2001

deviantART Related / Devious Fun

I like DA... a lot... I'm one of these people with the desire to be creative, but I'm average at drawing/etc. So I came up with a way to mix my love of my music with my desire to show I'm a fan of the DA community. I've only scratched the surface with the number of contributions I've viewed, but I'm constantly inspired and amazed, and for that I thank everyone!

And here it is - I've created two mosaics which are now the front and back faces of my acoustic guitar. The front face (top) is "When Rain Falls" by MincedNiku - this was one of my first ever Faves, thanks MincedNiku for the awesome art!! The back face (middle) is "Soft" by Bonsaisan, an excellent photo IMHO.

But there's more - Two pics simply wasn't enough to really show my appreciation, so I've used around 2500 thumbnails from around 8 different categories to create the final pictures. The pic at the bottom shows a (blurry - sorry!!) closeup of a small section of the back of the guitar.

It was a month in the making, involved a lot of sanding, trimming and swearing, and has been re-laquered for an extremely hard and shiny finish. As a side bonus, it's changed the sound of the guitar slightly, boosting the brightness and making it sound more fun (or maybe that's in my head!!).

Thanks everyone at DA, this one's for you - daily inspiration is only a click away

EDIT: MincedNiku has been kind enough to permit me to show the source mosaic I used to create the image on the front of the guitar, which can be found --here-- . Visit Niku's gallery, well worth a look IMHO!!

Very cool. I am about to start a guitar custom project in which I'll paint the body of a simple acoustic guitar - yours and others have contributed to the inspiration! I'll post pics when I'm done.

Wow, super! I absolutely love it. I would just love to have something like that on my (future) electric guitar. How did you apply the thumbnails to the guitar? I can only think of stickers, but they wouldn't last long. And then laquered ontop of the stickers?
