Full Version: Custom Case Graphics And Airbrushing

For the case modding crowd comes this opportunity to have any desired vinyl graphic and/or airbrushing art done to their case at low rates. Using my resources I have put together a group of guys with over 14 years experience apeice to airbrush any desired scene onto a case, or create any custom vinyl graphic desired. If there is any desire out there for custom case art, feel free to contact me, Stryder72 or use earthsimulator2003@yahoo.com

thank you and happy modding!

Hey guys, thanx for the interest. The final fantasy scene could be done, in any way you wish with airbrush or digital vinyl printing. Could be very cheap in vinyl but some people love the look of airbrushing. I will work on getting some examples up, even though Im new to computer case art. As far as Im concerned its just another surface to work on!
Thanx for the interest

Justinal, with your final fantasy scene, i could easily photoshop it nice to fit 2 or 3 characters on each side with that sweet backround on each, and on a 18x16 inch case (pretty big one) youre looking at $75 per side. This may not be totally accurate but its ballpark. I will install everything free. Bear in mind Im talking vinyl. Airbrushing could be around 100 per side. Keep in mind that these rates are quite cheap in the graphics world!
Thanx man
justinal
thanx for the info ill get back to you about doin something like that in a week or so.


If you can get some pics post them .
thanx justin biggrin.gif

read the whole post not that exactly something like that
statix6900
thats pretty cool but to expencive for me just to have a pic on the side i would just paint it a cool color.
stryder72
I can see why some people would think its rather expensive, but from a normal offer this job would go for (Im estimating) $100 per side . And of course some people think that would be ugly on the side of a case but I think it would rock, especially with matching keybard, monitor, mouse, ect. Pics to come! Just a side note, this isnt really much of a business attempt, its more of a way to help this crowd and get some sweet computers coming my way. I just love this feild...and have tried to combine art/graphics with it
justinal
i dont know if i would just paint it a color im trying to do something different ive already painted my case i wanted a ff character on my case really bad.

can u do flame jobs???
i want to paint my case in flames then cut out in between the fames like little windows

got any examples???
stryder72
Flames are my favorite. Just get ahold of me by email if you would like to get into specifics. I really dont want to try to advertise on these forums, thats a bad thing but discussion is cool too.
Thanx

I guess what would be really sweet is for people who already have case art to start posting pics in here, and maybe I could help add to them. But thus far the only stuff I have painted or made graphics for are semis, vehicles, harleys, signs, ect.
statix6900
i wouldnt want to get my case painted unless i got a really nice one that im for sure going to keep and use later on.

Hi guys, I was sick of not having pics so here is something I just whipped together today, and slapped on the old lab computer. I admit, it doesnt look incredibly good on an old stale looking case. Its rather big as well.

Sorry about posting the other one twice, not to mention, sideways.......anyway here the other side

nice! biggrin.gif
DeMoN
is that a sticker or air brushed??
justinal
how did you do that?
bosco
hmmm not bad.. not bad at all B)
stryder72
Thats with a digital printer on vinyl. Very easy to do, considering its all done by the computer. Again, I could blend in a sweet scene or character or anything like that, considering Im pretty good with photoshop. I think this sort of thing would look sweet on a modded case, not just a normal one, especially if the rest of the case had a matching or similar color scheme. Cya guys
mxrider623
that is freakin SICK!!!!!! smack.gif
Acid Storm
Very nice.
I wouln't have the money though.
I'm building a new case myself because I can't aford a bigger one.
but I'm impressed by those pictures.
stryder72
Well crap, sounds like people like this kinda stuff! Thats cool. Vinyl is good because its very easy to just lay down and cut along the seams and peel unwanted off (as long as it hasnt been on more than an hour or so). Like around a window and stuff. I would just like to do a sweet case and see how it turns out, and have you guys see it as well.

Could I do that with my printer and my copy of Paint Shop Pro 6?? How much would this cost to do it myself?
justinal
someone answer that question or would it be better to use photoshop 7.0?
stryder72
The very notion is laughable. This is a 54" large format 1440dpi printer....for vinyl... what are you going to do, print on paper and elmers glue it on? Go ahead and try bud, be sure to post a pic of it so we can see your wonderful talent.
stryder72
Guys, i feel Ive misled you a bit, I figured the cost to be 25 cents per square inch, measure the case and figure out the coverage you want. The case I did was preety large, thats why i figured $70 per side. Most cases are smaller and cheaper. Also, doing just a side is very easy to install, however a full wrap is a bit more difficult, and if anyone would want free installation thats fine, just send it my way. Pics to come of a flame job... laugh.gif
justinal
dude i have no clue how to do any of this im just trying to find out how to do it
stryder72
Im sorry justinal, its just that this technology is very expensive, not to mention state of the art, and any digital graphics guy will be offended by a question like that, because this feild requires such money and expertise. I read it later and realized I sounded like I was bitching or something.... many I guess I can be a prick sometimes! Anyways, thats the deal. The reason I started this is to get into the case modding community of sorts. Ive always been interested but now I want to really get into it and of course I have a comp. in the works for myself. Anyways, I want to stress the quality of digital vinyl printing and good airbrushing. Nothing comes close. Cheers
justinal
no prob man im just tryingto learn all i can and besides my uncle has the right knid of printer at work but if i have it done all just get someone else to do it
stryder72
Cool, just be sure to post pics if you do.
justinal
im sorry its been a busy week but ya i probably want to have something done ill get back with you tomorrow night about it. once again sorry ill either email or post tomorrow night about what i would like. thanks for the patience.
