Airbrushed car by my son Sean

(Click on any picture to enlarge)
My oldest son took his car apart and after sanding and priming, painted/airbrushed Final Fantasy characters all over it. Then drove it to Otakon in downtown Baltimore. Here are some of the shots of the car. Can't believe he took his car apart, hauled it up into his house and airbrushed them in his kitchen. But it turned out really well. Once the airbrushing was done, he had 6 coats of clear coat put on it by a place in Baltimore. This is the passenger door...although I don't know who this character is, this is one of my favorites from an artistic point of view. It's very difficult getting the perspective right when someone's head is angled down and they're looking at you. He did a very nice job...
The hood of the car. Apparently this took him 90 hours of painting to do the whole car. Every spare moment he got away from work he was painting. It's hard to believe he's self taught.
Some spirit figure in the sky which is also difficult to do to get it to appear transparent and wispy. Especially when you're going from one color to the next.
Two more characters...

This guy just looks like a meany!
