cheerz guys.
michelob78 - i just used some whitey blue n some free hand shields that i made n did some different curves n that to try n link the different tribal bits.
then i tried to fade all the gaps from that white blue to a purple n a general fade to a dark purple/black at the back.
im fairly happy with the way my idea came out, even though its a bit ruff n ready in some places

Nice job there Jon, love the effect you have acheived with the blue colour. I recently bought myself airbrush and paints ...need to learn how to use airbrush first but hopefully have my first shell done in a few weeks.
