Chucky half tank complete, ready for clear.

We have been busy working on some exciting new half tanks, which will be mounted on one of our display stands located in Motorcycle dealers in Melbourne.

This particular tank has a Chucky theme, the evil doll that starred in the hit horror classic 'Childs Play'. The mural itself took many hours rendering all of the gashes and stitches in his face and the fabric on his jumper and outfit. After the Chucky mural was complete, we masked up him and the skull and began sketching out the stretched skin and ribs that will frame the murals, the skin alone took nearly 1 day to complete.

Check out the photos of the completed artwork below, we hope you like the end result and if you are interested in getting your Harley, motorbike or chopper custom painted or airbrushed, then feel free to contact us - airbrushasylum.com.au

Terminator Bonnet / Hood

We were recently asked to complete a theme on a Mini Cooper bonnet / hood. 
Years ago we completed an artwork from T3 rise of the machines and that bonnet still gets plenty of comments and praise. Loving the movies and enjoying painting this style of artwork, we decided to layout some terminator artwork to suit the shape of the bonnet and to showcase the detail and reflections of the terminator skulls.
We hope you like the pictures, feel free to check out more of our projects @ www.airbrushasylum.com.au

Zombie harley, airbrushed murals completed pictures.


The following Blog contains pictures of one of the most involved projects that we have completed this year. A total of 8 murals span across the different panels of this Harley, even the oil tin and helmet have been airbrushed. 
The project took over 65 hours to complete with numerous hours spent rendering the different skin textures and overall defects in the zombie's skin. The graveyard backgrounds were kept B&W in order to keep the focus on each of the main murals.
We hope that you enjoy the pictures and until next time….keep paintin'
