Thats awesome for a couple of hours work. In fact, that's just awesome. It looks like you spent absolutely ages on it. Very nice.

Not quite sure if I wanna clear coat it. I used an ultra flat black for a reason. Don't really wanna mess that up

it lacks detail but bar that it's well nice considering it only took 2 hours.

Well I should add I'm not quite finished as grim_d pointed out its missing detail in the teeth area. I plan on borrowing an airbrush and finishing it that way.
Any other constructive criticism is more then welcome....

Just use a satin or flat clearcoat. Art work is very vulnerable to damage so I would highly reccomend clearing it.

Don't clearcoat it. Flat black is the shit. I've got the same idea for mine but with a different logo. Be careful with that thing it'll scratch easy!

Paint I used was some Krylon camo. ultra flat black, and fusion gloss red.... cans were only $2.99 at the local ace hardware.....
surprsingly the paints not that vulnerable.... I can run my fingernail across it and it doesn't do anything...
I didn't get a hold of an airbrush so I just made a pattern to do the detail on the mouth area....
Thanks for all the complements... As case mods go I think the only other thing I wanna do is change the LED lights to red. If anyone can point me to a link that will show me how to and what leds i'd be much appreciated....
I'm gonna get a real nice air brush and then see how well I can do flames....... (The bottom half looks a little plane to me hehehe........) I'm going to eventually do both my controllers in a similar fashion, except clear coat the controllers sence their being handled so much.

First of all... it looks VERY good and very slick. Didn't go overboard with an un-needed window or do anything else really, just a VERY good, pretty original paint job. I really like it.
My question: how did you make the blood "splatter?"
I think its really good and unique.
Thanks.

The red splatter was really simple to do, although the black paint made it a little difficult.
All I did was sand the box down, spray 1 tack coat, then 2 full coats of gloss red. let it dry 15 mins. taped off the symbol and then sprayed it with flat block. While the black was still wet (only about 1-2 mins.) I dabbed the black paint with a wrinkled up grocery bag(plastic). It leaves a really cool pattern and takes very little extra work.
