Water-based primer
Acrylic paint


This was my first attempt at re-creating the Arashikage tattoo as a display or playset. This was done very quickly, almost as a mock-up or test shot, for a wall display idea I was going for. The next version will use thicker pieces of foam, will not extend 'out' as far, and as pointed out to me while at Assembly Required this year, will have 'under cutting' of the shelves to show better negative space between the layers. Oh, I should also mention, this thing was used for displaying customs at a few conventions. It has had a much longer lifespan than I had originally planned for.

To teach, improve, share, entertain and showcase the work of the customizing community.
