DIY Custom Paint Job

I took a break from work this afternoon to finally do that DIY paintjob I've been talking about doing on my truck — a bat-winged skull, which I think suits the hillbilly-slash-madmax vibe of the truck. I freehanded it on using chalk, and then used automotive masking tape to outline it and masked off the area around it with newspaper, and then gave it a single coat (because I want it to get scuffed up) of gray primer. It's far from a perfect job but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I haven't decided yet if I'm going to trace it and do it on the other side as well…
