Can't decide on colors for a future swirl? - photoshop fun

[lwi]

I was playing around with photoshop today... I took a pic from the guitar gallery (a 777vbk) and with some photoshop magic (actually a few color blotches and a series of twirl, polar coordinates and wave filters) I simulated, yes.. *a swirl!!!

This could be of value to those who might want to swirl one of their guitars but are unsure of which colors to make it..

here are a few examples
(i didn't upload the photoshop file.. its 4 megs)

swirl 1
swirl 2
swirl 3
swirl 4
swirl 5
swirl 6
gmc
pmc

If anyone wants the original photoshop file to do their own, or mant me to do one with the colors of their choice, plz let me know.

I like 1, 5, and 6. Those to me look the best.

No 6... is way sweet.. not too keen on the others, though. Nice work

Very cool. I was thinking of building a custom like #3 except with white pickups. I was also consider one like that minus the green - just blue and white. *

Please make me one. It will be cheaper! :biggrin:

Personally I prefer your stuff

If you wouldn't mind, could you take a look at my body at www.guitarkarma.freeuk.com (click on projects) and coat it with a translucent purple, if possible (think JS1000TB but purple) so maybe I can get an idea if it's gonna be the right finish?
If you can't then just tell me to bugger off! :biggrin:

Cheers and nice work!

wow... I would never have expected such a response! *Thank you all so much

- ripl3y: bugger off j/k... I'll give it a try.. i don't if it'll give you a good idea of the final result unless you tell me the color of the hardware and pickups and neck and whatever (so I can paste it on to give a clearer idea).

- rickboot: oki.. i'll post some more tonight and yours will be in the batch

yea the 6th is my fav also.. it looks more like a real swirl would turn out than the others..

hi m8,
The hardware will be all chrome and the pickups zebra (i.e. 1 coil white 1 black) it will be a deep translucent purple like on the peavy wolfgangs and the fretboard is ebony...so it's black :biggrin: with dots under the low E a'la JPM

Thanks
Steve

Lwi-
Cool, fun stuff. *I can see a new idea for banez here. *A low end JEM with a "FotoSwirl" finish. *They'd sell hundreds (not necessarily to anyone here).

Here is a pic of my latest swirl from Darren at ATD. *Green, Purple, Black and White. *Just thought I would share. *This is my first photo upload, so I hope this works.

That is very cool. I may have to borrow your color scheme. What neck and hardware are you putting in?
