First up is Superstar I stripped from my collection. I decided to ano both halves completely differently for practice. I am going to end up stripping both again because of some flaws and to practice some more. I did this one two days and still working out some tweaks. Overall the came out decent but a stripping and re-ano would do the trick since im getting better. One half came out completely how i wasnt expecting but it looks cool. Remember my camera sucks and it makes the yoyos look way more dull then they actually are. My camera actually broke today so now i have to get a new one.

I dont really know what model it is but it doesnt have a bearing seat. This one came out exactly how i wanted. It doesnt actually look as dull as the picture makes it.

Its a first run that i stripped and then annoed. At first i did a clear background with yellow splash but it didnt come out exactly how i wanted and has some flaws. I then restripped it and decided to do a two tone purple acid wash. It came out exactly how i wanted and looks amazing in person.

Try this: Blue and dark blue acid wash with black and yellow splash. It would look amazing. ---

I will say for one I’m not a fan of acid wash but I do see that you got your stuff under control. Any chance we will see some splash colors? ---

Thanks alot for the positive comments. Ill try a splash on the skyline with the colors I have but im going to need to get more dye. Im at the point where im getting good results but I dont have the consistency down where I can take commision yet. At least unless someone wouldnt mind a little experimenting. ---

I did this skyline earlier. I did both halves differently trying to practice different techniques. The first half is my favorite ano job I’ve done so far and looks amazing! I love how it looks and i seem to have the technique down. I did a half fade type thing on the second half. You can see it in the pics but i did an orange acid/splash and a clear/orange wash/splash. Let me know what you guys think 🙂 First half: ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/e/3/0e37fc91d5f234a731b61421d8d0d4fea806332a.jpeg) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/5/9/a59fb75d4f29512a2a2e17fad81ba84cdf1642cd.jpeg) secong half: [http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8028/7381099932\_2538e58973.jpg](http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8028/7381099932_2538e58973.jpg) [http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7221/7381097502\_2f4b98c9b2.jpg](http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7221/7381097502_2f4b98c9b2.jpg) ---

I mean if you don’t want perfected yet and wouldn’t mind letting me practice more on your yoyos then I’d be down but I wouldn’t do more then one for free. I’d be wasting a lot of material on multiple throws. I’d do a fair price but I’m still in practicing phase. ---
