Tank & Fender art help please

[Snuffy]

I need ideas / suggestions for tank & fender art. I am going to paint her all black with black cherry ghost flames and artwork. I am not going to copy anyone’s artwork but would appreciate any suggestions and ideas.

You going to DIY if so make templates for the flames and I'd look for Dog's head to use on the rear fender similar to Spike in the cartoons all outline.

Thanks , but i am not that talented. Can shoot the solid color but I will leave the rest to the pros.

Paint that sucker Orange & call it good!

Thought I would get more input on this.

black cherry sounds pretty good in combi with polished billet and chrome in my thought.
flames,skulls,beasts and demons you see often.
maybe another paint effect airbrushed in?
fantasy landscape?
whatever.
Take impressions at paint artists and choose what you prefer.
final artwork makes the artist - the direction is your choice.
wish good hands for your decision - let us see the result after the work is done snuffy.

This thread was intended to get people talking about their ideas and to show off their artwork. Guess it’s not working out like I thought.

Ok so you weren’t to hip on the Orange & call it good…. Maybe Orange with Ghost Flames then!!

 

[Snuffy]

That may be the best orange paint job I’ve ever seen

And Orange too!!

I'd go black with all the tin, then with the above photos run a purple or cherry bottom, and a white stripe to separate the black from the purple/cherry... no pro needed.

Flames are old style.

I’m thinking something along those lines

There used to be a big dog painter that was a member here. I can't remember what his name was, or if he has been here recently. I'm sure he would have some good ideas.

This is very good ..
I might add discreet ghost under flames.
Add action, little busier.
Wouldn't change what's there. And that would the dominant art. Under flames would pop it out. How much could be regulated by the color contrast.

Something I just saw in Cycle Source is engraved which would be the outline for the paint for the flames and skull and give a bit of texture. Would be different than just paint and would be kinda 3D.
