Hell yeah, Ted, start brushing up on your Battlestar Gallactica and Cylon spaceship artistry, I've been wanting to do a Galactica/Cylon Base Star battle scene on mine, but didn't know anyone who could paint good... can ya handle it? If so, it's already on it's way... :worthy:

you'll have to PM me with your going rate... :hands:

The only thing is, the dang xD cover is mostly logo and sculpted grooves, not the best surface for applying a painted image... I have an overwhelming urge to use a grinder and some bondo on the top surface to smooth it out, lol!!

I have no problem doing a Cylon/Battlestar theme. Send me some images to take ideas from, to [email protected].

Rates are simple, $75 or $100, depending on if you want it clear coated as well, plus shipping. Turn around time is about 2 to 3 weeks.

If you want to grind down the logos its up to you, I will paint right over them if you leave them on, or if you want me to highlight them some how I can do that, what ever you want to do is fine by me.

The way it will work is, you ship the cover to me and email any images you want me to replicate, I will do the design out, email you an image of it. If everything looks good, you paypal me and I send it back to you.

Holy Crap Ted!!!! That is baaaddd aaaassss!!!
Almost makes me want to put my cover back on, lol.

HAHA, Thank you Ryan, I appreciate the comments :D

I used to draw ffvii artwork for fun when the game first came out. I can definatly do a cloud image for you. PM me if your interested.

I just got another cover from an xA owner, he wants a Wolverine theme done to it. STAY TUNED!!!

wow, Ted thats awesome!

Thank you. I should be starting the artwork on the Wolverine themed cover today or on Saturday, so hopefully I will have a finished piece to show you guys next week.

That is awesome work...

Yep, sure is... I can't wait to see what he comes up with for my Battlestar Galactica Cylon cover, we've been working on some images together the last week or so for a good Cylon cover design... I'm shipping out my cover tomorrow, it's all boxed up and ready to go! :hands:

^^^Sweet, can't wait to see what he does either^^^

Perfect timing too Troy, I am just finishing up my latest work, I'm unhappy with it but the owner is ecstatic, I just need to add some lettering and I am shipping his out, so if you send today I should be ready for it before it even arrives :)

That is cool :)

Very nice

Updated the first post with the newest cover

Very Nice.

Thank you Chris, Troys should be showing up today so I will have some new pics for you guys in a couple weeks. I also am picking up a heat shield from an xB2 owner this week so I will be posting that up soon as well. :)

Well Ted, at least you'll have something to keep you busy this weekend, heheh... I take it neither of those covers have the clear coat finish, I'm anxious to see how that will look on mine... but, take your time, don't rush! I want mine to be your masterpiece, LOL! :hands:

Nope neither of them have clear on them. the wolverine one came out... meh, in my opinion. The owner used some type of armor all to clean it with, that soaked into the cover and kept making the paint peel up...

hopefully I wont have to deal with that issue ever again...

Haha, well I'm not an idiot... I won't be soaking my cover in any vat of lye to clean it, lol! :)

And, I bug you on here everyday, so you're used to me being a pest, haha...

LOL Troy, no worries, you have already said that you prefer I take my time on it, so I will make sure yours comes out to how I like it... people say that an artist is always too critical of their own work, so maybe you will think my best is the greatest piece of art you have ever seen... hahahahahahaha

:p...

Troys cover is about 30% done as of right now, so expect pics in about a week or so. :D

Very nice, can you tell us what theme ya went with?

lol, his username is Cylon_xD

Umm, yeah, I don't think there will be any little pink fairies on my cover...!! :laughing1:

Those are really nice!

Thank you :D

So this thursday I am going to crank out a ton of work on Troys cover and hopefully get it cleared and delivered next week. I'm super excited about this cover!!!!

Ted, I thought you said the clear-coating takes an extra two weeks... unless you have the appointment already lined up for next week, perhaps?

I talked to the shop again and they said they can clear the cover in 2 days time. Thursday I should have the cover about 80% done, will just need to add the slogan at that point. Next week I will call up the shop, and have them take it for a couple days to clear it, then I will be able to ship out end of next week, beginning of the week after depending on when I get it to them. Next week I should have pictures of the uncleared design though. :D

I am still rooting for "We're Not Just Frakkin Toasters Anymore!"

Yeah, after thinking about it more, I do like the dual meaning, with the xB "Toaster" and Cylon "Chrome Toaster" references... Two things - definitely want to change the "They're" from my Sig to "We're" for the cover design, since it is the Cylon that is talking...also, I think it better to spell out Frakking rather than Frakkin' - the Cylons would pronounce human words in a formal robot manner... Frakkin' is what Starbuck would say... :)

Well, kinda talked myself into it... Why don't we go ahead with that... Hmm, It's a much longer slogan, can you fit it all on the cover??

yea I can just make the "font size" smaller to fit it all. I was thinking of putting it across the bottom of the cover so its the first thing you see.

"We're not just frakking toasters anymore!"

ii might just come back to you with an interesting one lol

Chris, what did you have in mind?

lol. pm sent

and PM replied!! Awesome idea btw!!
