I'm making a body for my friend and I haven't done a lot of graphics lately so I'm extremely rusty. I'm mainly having problems making this guitar. I'm planning on attaching it to the back of the body. I don't want it in a diagonal view because the hair will cover too much of it. What should I change about it? I only did a little bit of shading because I'm just going to work on this later so I know it isn't that good. I also suck at shading so any tips on how to shade this would be much appreciated.

 

Make it a bit longer (ther is NOT what she said, immature kiddies)

That's as big as I can make it. The template won't fit if I make it any longer.  

somewhat off topic: i dont think that it will get added because of the extra instrument. cant say that for 100% sure so you might be better by adding the guitar as a layer so you can keep it when its allowed or easily remove it if not so  

Best I could do.

They've let me upload bodies with a giant sword on the back, scabbard on the side, scroll on back, etc. If they follow their current rule:

Minor accessories are allowed, but graphics should not act as a substitute for a hat. Minor accessories include items such as earrings, semi-covering face masks, hairbands, headbands, and glasses. If accessories are added to files, such as heads, then they need to be integrated into the design itself. All masks that cover the entire face or hats that are just stuck on top of a head will be denied.

It should be allowed. I haven't came across any rules regarding accessories on bodies aren't allowed yet, but thanks for the warning. She also plays iEra and was planning to upload it there, but I don't know if the rules are different or the same.

Pretty good. The grey part with the strings looks a little weird without the black outline or maybe it's just me. I'm trying to stick with a black outline with this rather than pink because the body is already outlined in black. Thanks for editing it I will keep comparing and see.  

To give it some depth add some dark pink shading at the bottom. Looks nice.
