Are you talkin about these I have posted because I have the only ones made so far and these fall under my custom colors because of how many colors and how much time is involved in these and other colors I know there is a store in con. somewhere that is stocking my stuff but that is all normal stock.


Thanks for the compliment


Steve

yeah, i picked up the normal color ones. these are pretty cool too, though.

Thanks for the compliment and now I know who is selling my stuff I never knew but thanks again

Steve

Chris, the owner, is a good guy. if you are ever in the NYC area, take the 30 minute ride to Stratford and see him.

:hihi: :kewl: :btu:

Bernzy

Steve, very nice work there :btu:
I absolutely LOVE the bottom blueback, the one with the gold running down the middle. AWESOME!

I have to learn to paint like that someday.

Nice Work Steve.:btu:
I like the purple sides on the Bunker.
Really Cool paint.

Steve--Great stuff.:D That bottom blueback is awesome!!!!!
You could sell a ton of those. Let's see--One for the wall-----

One for the case ------- And maybe I'll get one to fish.
Really nice!!!!:bgi:

Iam sorry but you are mistaken I have not copied anyone with these patterns they came from actual pictures of fish.

:drool:

i gaurantee a fish wont critique as much as a sport, stripers will be on those like stink on skunk.
and the sport will go home smelling of fish

OK, so you try to mimick actual photos of baitfish. Now, do you have any hints you can share with us on the painting process?

That SteveF Makes a pretty sweet plug!:btu:

Thanks guys all compliments are greatly appreciated.

I am not sure what to say slip I will try to answer as best I can.
First I do use an airbrush a Iwata BCS to be accurate it was recomended to me by a friend. Second I use mainly createx auto air paints in just about every color made I am particular to pearls and metalics.
As far as technique I have no training in airbrush art and believe it or not I ain't artistic at all ( although my wife and bernzy argu that point with me regulary). After looking at live bait pics I try to paint as I see and this is a very time consuming process not all colors dry the same as they look wet. I use alot of shading which I am still learning my early stuff was two color because I would use too much color, I am learning all the time and experimenting for every plug you guys see there are about 5-6 laying around that I didn't like or didn't look the way I want them to look. I hope this is helpfull remember I am new at all this and every day is another lesson to learn and I am always interested in learning and trying new things. I have to give most of the credit to bernzy and a very good friend of mine who is an airbrush artist for al their help with shading color selection and general info.

Again I hope this is helpful and thanks again for all the compliments


Steve

OK Steve, thanks :)

Steve,
Had to take another look:D They are lookin better than the CCBC originals. (I thought I saw some Bernzy influence in that paint;) :D Keep em comin. Maybe you can give me airbrush lessons sometime. I used a single action for years, I started using the double action about 4 months ago so I am still getting used to it. Hope to see you sunday.
