Sorry fellas it's "what's for dinner" around here. Big show this weekend. I'm finishing a new shirt for a vendor there.

Blue is black red is like before

Here's the 63 ragtop (sup Duck!!!)

I made the lines all black so you wouldn't vomit again.

lol

method:

Illustrator to Photoshop render in channels Jeri-Style blah blah blah (you know all of this)

I'll color tomorrow and show you the final.

The sand rail looks awesome. Nice to see the springs.

Yeah the suspension is awesome at the first one. I admire your work.

Camber on the back wheel of the Bug looks seriously off. Maybe its supposed to me? Educate me on Bugs, cuz I dont know :)

The bug has only a single wishbone at the back truck, so if it moves up, the wheel turns in an angle instead of staying parallel, like it does at an "normal" car with two or more wishbones.

Your VW bus is awesome. I like it when there little ground clearance.

lol Kustom

Colorin Buggy

Almost there.

Wut up Lemorris,

I luv that 63 ragtop.

I am still working on my first channel rendering. I have been busy w/ school. I have finals and then I will be done w/ college.

They look great.
Can't wait to see the ragtop finished.

All of them look awesome. I like the detail of the 1st one. Rendering job is looking great so far as well.

Thanks Alex!

This limited pallet stuff is tough sometimes....you gotta sacrifice....lol

shoulda made the buggy bigge but I had another element that got dropped...oh well.

Just a thought, the waviness of the reflections along the side make it look as though you need a new body guy. Have you ever thought of doing smoother reflections?

Good design.

lol Kustom...I would if I was better...I'm tryin. When I get there you'll be the first to know.

If you look close though you can see some western mesas...a common site out here. The owner of the car lives in Mesa, AZ so it's kinda subliminal...look at early morning shots of the Grand Canyon in blue sky...fun stuff.

The clients dig it.

Thanks guys.

I mean the actually line, the one that silhouettes the mesa's and such now, instead of making it bumpy, have you ever done a straight, smooth line?

Great design, what font do you use for the lettering?
I really like the "embossed" flame look in the company name.

lol Kustom you're ridin me pretty hard.

OK OK I've never drawn a straight line!!

lol

It's just a preference...that's where I'm at right now. As you develop you change as you grow you learn...I'm trying new things and trying to get better like all of us.

The wavy line doesn't bother me at all. Next time I will take your opinion into consideration...but it's too late for this one.

I'm a student like you...we are all students in this game. If you ever get to the point where your work cannot improve it means you're dead.

I'm sure if you look through my past posts you'll find a straight horizon line...then again maybe you wont. Jeri uses this little half circle on almost every car with flat sides...I call it the Jeri shape...I look for it, like a signature.

maybe you should consider my ugly sides my signature ....lol

one mans trash dude....like I said the client loved it.

It's just art...

Hey Blip,

The Chirco is Haettenschweiler

and the rest is Hemi Head 426

-Lemorris

p.s. I still love you Kustom...you're one of my favs...I appreciate your drive....it's a great quality, seriously.

All good

No way man, I dont hate it, I dont even not like it, just an idea I had. Your work will always be amazing!

Lemorris, thanks.

Where did you get the "Hemi Head 426" font?
I would like to add that to my file.

Thanks for the link.

dude. man. dude.

man.

man.

shit. beautiful work.

the bug with the redlines is tough as shit.

Damn lemorris!
That is a badass composition.
You have some strong design skills!
And all of the cars are amazing.
