Description

I know a lot of you have been waiting for this one, so here goes.

I've been wanting to do a gundam stencil for some time, and one day was talking with *TFDC who suggested I make one. I told him that if he vectored a gundam I would stencil it up, so he sent me this .ai file [link] for me to use.

It only took 4-5 days to cut out, but it sat around in my room while I tried to figure out exactly how / where to spray it. I figured the best way to do it was to just use multiple panel canvases.

The Process:

First I sprayed it on to the canvases with black, just lightly not worrying about underspray. [link] [link]

After that, I wanted to fill it in somehow, but I didn't want to cut another stencil just for the fill; so I freehanded it! Grey down first, then blue.

Then I tried spraying black down again, but it didn't show up well enough on top of the darkish blue, so I sprayed white instead. It still didn't look quite right after that, so I shifted the stencils and sprayed black on top of the white. Here's a pic of just the white.

It took me a total of two days to spray this. If anyone is interested in purchasing one of these, starting price is $60 for just black on white. Any fill / color / extras would be more.

I'm really undecided about the final product. Part of me loves it since it's a damn good stencil, but part of me hates it because of how shitty it turned out; even though that was the intention. I might end up cutting a stencil for the fill if I spray this more times.

Be honest with what you think about it. I know I'll get a load of "OMGAH IT'S SO GOOD!!!!111" comments, but I probably won't respond to those.
