Bigern Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 How did you do the label on the bottle and the cooler? Did you paint them? Yes, they are both painted. That actually took the longest amount of time while painting. I think I re-did the ram on the cooler 4 times before I liked it. The logo on the bottle was redone at least twice. I used the box front from a 6-pack of Shiner Bock as the source for the cooler front, and then the actual logo from a bottle of the beer for the inspiration on the bottle logo. On the mini bottle I couldn't paint it just like on the actual bottle (there is a ram on the actual beer bottle label as well- I just couldn't do it that small on the mini). Thanks for your comments.

Here's a few close-up shots showing the cooler and bottle logo. This close up it shows the flaws however, especially where I had to touch it up and the paint got thicker.

Thanks...although you'll have to explain to me what the "Sokar has Beer" award is "Sokar has beer" was the mantra at ReaperCon 06 after party dubbed "ShinerCon". Its a play on the Nefsokar faction ability 'Sokar is near". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drjsallison Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Just attend any ReaperCon and the hotel will be littered with drunk painters and gamers. ShinerCon is an ongoing thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
