My First Background....experimenting

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Wow, Satana you have done an awesome job with your 3D back ground, only if I had the time and skills like your, I'd be selling them. Back grounds really enhance the look of an aquarium. Great job, especially considering its yor first. Being a person that's trying to simply install a purchased BG and I am struggling. I take my hat off to you from doing it from scratch. BRAVO!!!
 
Yeah, as a hobby it's definitely fun to get paid for building backgrounds. When i had more free time I did several for friends and friends of friends, but then I stopped because some of the people i was making them for weren't getting exactly what they wanted and it took all the fun out of it. The friends were cool, but when I started doing them for people I didn't know I lost interest. It would really burn me up when we'd have the plans set and then they would change the layout of the tank (or even the size) to the point that i would have to make massive modifications to the background or scrap sections of it because they changed filters or wanted to do something different.
 
Thanks I thought about doing some backgrounds and some of those small little fish tanks but I need to finish my projects before I do other for anyone else...I have like 6 projects going on now..so lots of work...work n kids....so u know how it goes..thanks for the comments
