About a month in the making (design wise) & finally lasered yesterday, then airbrushed today.
Way too much work involved haha.

Well, here’s another part to my current project. Thanks again #LaserWeb for your spectacular job on engraving the imagery.
Image was processed in Photoshop first, from the colour image (see photos) to a greyscale image using Threshold (value 50, arbitrary value chosen by what looks good).
So, the size was just shy of 7 inch tall, 10 inch wide. Took about 3-6 hours engraving, as certain regions I had to redo (after super careful re-alignment) as the image came out too light for my liking. I think the main engrave (1st run) was about 3 hours (something like 2.9 million lines of gcode).
So, after all the engraving (yesterday), today I sat down for the last 3 hours airbrushing it. 4 colours, leather-dye (thinned 10:1 with Methylated Spirits:Dye).
I will share Original Image, Pre-Processed Image, After Engrave, After Airbrushing.

I’m thoroughly satisfied, although the colours only vaguely resemble the original.
hahaha.
