Here is more newbie stuff. I am in the process of painting a Crowd Plezer body for a XXXNT. I am trying to use a xxx main flame mask but the complex curves on the body are throwing me fits. Some help on using mask over complex surfaces would be helpful.

myst, nice to hear someone state that church is an important part of their life.

Bob, let us know when the new magazine is up and running.

Heat the mask with a hair dryer. That will help the material stretch and conform to the curves of the body.

Cosmo,
Thanks for the offer! I will let you know when it's been updated. I just got a copy of Adobe Acrobat myself but don't really know how to use it so I will look to you or BigDog to convert it.

Extreme,
As far as more basic designs go, I can write up step by step how to for more of my own designs and will add them. If other painters want to add more basic designs, I'm happy to add them as well. FYI, There is a section on the Fasglitter. Take a look under Section IV.

V-One,
As far as masks go, www.rcxotic.com has lots of them. I personally don't use any printable masks, or at least very very rarely. I am sure if people submitted them to futureal he would post them. The problem is that not a lot of people actually make masks and then share them with others.

Being a noobie and all, and not really all that much cash in my pocket, and I'm not sure if it's been suggested yet.. but, By any chance can you do a part, where u can show how you can do schemes and stuff, using aircans? I don't use airbrushes, but love to paint.. I was wondering what other stuff I can do with an airbrush besides buying Parma or XXXmain masks, and painting it over.. thanks, and Haunted myst, I can't wait for that video, being that it came from the most capable hands of yours .. great paintjobs! ur paintjob w/ the "gouls" on it, made me wanna do painting the body just as much a hobby as racing the car=)
