Custom Geiger Bike

I am finally getting these photos of the Geiger Theme custom painted motorcycle. The project was a lot of fun and the first time I used House of Kolor for detailed airbrush work.

Once I had my design idea down I started the process. I masked out where I was going to create a rusted metal tube effect. This would keep the area clean until required. Using a paper cutout I lightly sprayed a blueprint of the skulls and other components. For this project i would use leftover House of Kolor paint from another project.

I would create this using only white and black paint. At this point I was not worried about detail. This would give me a good starting point and as with most projects, I would probably modify it as I moved forward.

 

The next step is to start hitting the layout with more detail and start working on the shadowed areas. This is where you start to see the design take shape.

Once I am done with the white I started with House of Kolor Black and started working in the detail. Using masking and Airsick templates for textures I worked on the background features. Airsick stencils have great grunge style templates that work great when creating old rusted metal. I also used the stencils to create textures in the skulls. Airsickstencils.com

 

 

 

Here you can see the tube effect. Once I remove the tape it gave me the base for the tubes and it was just a matter of adding texture and shading.

 

Finally I use white to highlight areas and add the smoke. Then it's off for clear. Below is the completed front fender.
