PlayPlaya2 Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Could someone help me with making a guitar? The guitar I'm trying to replicate is one of Daron Malakian's... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curmudgeon Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Give me a moment for my psychic helmet to kick in... Really, a picture of one would be pretty special in this case, or even a link to an image, whatever... "one of Daron Malakian's" is about as vague as I've ever seen here.

Curmudgeon Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Seeing a photo does help immensely. I started one, and it wasn't terribly difficult. Do the outline of the shape with the line tool using bezier curves and aliased lines. On a new layer fill the shape with the color of your choice, and run basic antialias on it to get nice smooth edges. Then run drop shadow down and right about 5 pixels to give it some depth. On another layer you can use the rectangle tool for the neck with 'filled shape' selected. Then use layer>rotate/zoom to adjust the twist radius so it looks like it tapers. Select the neck, and on a new layer, render diagonal lines at 0° for your frets. After that, use line/curve tool again to make the headstock, and then you just need to make the strings. For a different graphic on the face, you can fill in the body with a graphic of your choice, or put the graphic on a new layer and use blend modes.
