reefwars will become famous soon enough
Default any artists out there feel like putting your talents to the test????

im gonna be ready for paint for my stand and figured it would be cool to do some sort of reef design or painting or air brushed im not sure how or what it would be done with but i would be interested in doing something uniue and different and having someone over to let them have at it. its rougly a white 4 x 4 x 4 cube right now with a windown in the front and 2 doors in the back trim on top and bottom and around the window but thats it.lots of space for a cool drawing i was thinking some sort of reefscape or ocean view??

shoot me some ideas or whatnot

heres a pic of the stand its now white:








thanks guys

If I had any painting talent I would paint it to look like a full reef or at least a pile of rock.

thats what i was thinking maybe the two corners could be rock cliffs creating a canyon with a bunch or schooling fish around the window and then you could have a full reef painting wrap around to the back damn i wish i had talent like that


heres an idea of what i mean:


so the front would be a canyon similar to these








then it would wrap around the back with all kinds of reefy goodness like these:


























just some random pics i googled but you get the idea

I don't know what it would cost but what if you went somewhere and had it printed on vinyl and glued it on like wallpaper. Just a thought
