Default my mural pics inside!

Well I figured this would be the best place to post this, I looked around for a lounge type area but couldn't find it.

I've decided to spruce up my apartment and be creative for the first time in a while.

I wanted to incorperate something about all of my roommates. 3 out of the 4 of us have fbodys. I have a firebird, Josh has a V6 Camaro, Bryan (brrmcrary on here) has a Z28 and my other roommate Marc is really into weight lifting and fitness. So here's what I came up with.

Enjoy:

The beginning sketches





Painting the bird







So that's all I've done as of 9pm tonight, I'm hopefully going to get the Firebird and Camaro lettering painted and the Camaro stripes on the emblem painted...**** I might just stay up all night and finish.

By the way, none of us are really big drinkers, but DAYMN I love me some Cream Soda, so that's what's above the bar. haha.

UPDATE:

as of 10:25pm...still crackin...



End of the night Update



UPDATE:

as of 6:00pm tonight, I've almost finished...barbells and I'm done!



DONE!

After a total of about 10 to 12 hours...it's finally done and came out sooo good!





btw...to everyone posting the pics of their living rooms...here's ours...lol



clean for college kids huh? yea...we're all basically OCD...hahaha!

Let me know what you think!

-Travis

Nice artwork, the bending barbell is kinda funny though.

Oh, and lose those cream soda bottles, those should be REAL beer bottles or liquor bottles. I'm guessing you guys are under 21

haha yea, we're all 19. I mean we drink occasionally...but we're just all really laid back most of the time and we had to find something to fill in that space lol.

And about the barbell, I had to incorperate Marc in there somewhere, I can't just leave him out, it's his place too, and that's the best way I could fit him in...doesn't look half bad though. haha

It would look with two pistons and rods, instead of weights.
