Oh that kind of notchback. I was thinking 5.0 Mudstang. Well it still looks cool :)
Dude, you got serious tooning skills.
Ha, I just noticed the mud flap that is cool (folded on the gnd).

Nice toon! I like the mudflap too. Do you do the chrome reflections out of your head?

Alex

yeah I'm making up everything on this one

that's why it doesn't make sense

lol

Here's a shot of the lineart in Illy. Just use the pen tool and take your time.

I did put the contour line on a separate layer cause I like it thicker (1.5 px as opposed to .5 px for my normal lines)

Wow, that one has a real "toony" look,
almost like a Big Daddy design.
Lots of cool details for making it without a ref pic.

what kind of pencil did u use

5mm tech pencil HB lead

I think it cost me 79 cents

5 mm?!

u dont mean 0.5 mm?

you're a real "glass is exactly half full" kinda guy huh?

lol

Yes 0.5mm

Lol, I use a 9mm, err, sorry, 0.9mm:p

Just playing Zwu.

BTW, Looks awesome Lemmons.

ok heheee..=)

just wondering=)

i have a 5 mm mechanic pencil!

pretty thick, like a leg ^^

Ce non? A leg man, that's not 5mm, more like 5 inches:p 5mm is half a centimeter.

yes i was ironic..=)

Lol, ironic? I know english isn't your first language, but you seem to have gotten much better since 8 months ago (roughly, don't nag:p) but ironic isn't the word. more like...exagerating.

yep.. ok then=)

And that's the way the cookie crumbles. By the way, Lemmons, update us so this doesn't keep going on like ^ this:p

gladly...knuckleheads

waiting on a couple close up shots from the owner then I can do his badges and go render.

looks great!

knuckleheads?=)

great job.

keep it up.

that guy goin to iraq will shart himself

That's not nice Lemmons:p

Who was it that came up with that name? I know it wasn't me... Someone was high and they were a little too happy and called you Lemmons. Kustm. bonz maybe? Does Bonz get high? Lol.

Oh my god, you're back, HONU! I just got my computer back.
I think Kustom called him "Lemmons"...

BTW; The sketch is sexy, I cant wait till it's done.

Oh my God, I am! Holy shit, I came here for a visit and felt compelled to post again.

I see you still haven't got 1000 posts lol :p
Yeah I'm pretty sure it was Kustm, in all his smoked up glory. Or was he drunk? Ahh hell, I can't remember.

By the way lemmons, you've got too much patience. I could never vector everything so tantilizingly slowly. good job man.

BTW your name in french is now, "Le Monn"

lol

I've only got a few hours in it total. I'm waiting on some close ups of some stuff to finish. I tend to do 20 minutes here and there and since it's not a pay gig, it gets done when it gets done.

I remember Kustom...every since I drew a straight horizon line he fell off. Maybe he found a way to make a pinstripe pipe and he's telling Jerry Garcia all about it right now. (jk)...I think he frequents the modeling or manipulation forum more. He's a cool dude.

You can call me whatever if I can call Mshkttck
Fishstick.

-Lemorris

Haha, Fishstick:p I actually never did get around to rhyming something with everyone's names, that's something I was going to do. Hmmph.

:rofl: Fishstick it is, then :iceslolan

What should we call lemmons...? :rolleyes:



BTW, how did you do the little chrome trunk badge in the rear? It's a cool touch.

got started on the render tonight.

Still tweakin but goin well. Fun car to draw.

good times.

-Lemorris

Fuckin Eh man!

Looks Hot, great work Melons.

wow.. fuchs=)

nice color..

oh...here's the badge up close:

http://www.lcharris.com/af/volksbadge.jpg

I just found a font that was close to the badge lettering and spaced it out so it was close to the badge.

Then I drew a rounded corner bar under it, slightly chopping into the text.

Then in Illy I converted the text to outlines (ctrl+o) and ungrouped.

Then I select the text and the bar and on my pathfinder pallet I merged them into one shape. Click expand on the paths pallet and that's it.

Then copy your whte text and do a ctrl+b (paste directly behind where you copied it from) and then drop it a couple pixels down and over and make it black.

-Lemorris

Cool, I saw your words but they were like

Blah blah blah I got Skillz that's how Blah blah blah

Lol, Still looks great :p I love your chrome, you've got the right feel for chrome. Looks sweet.

Great, thank you.

looks good

I thought some of you might like to see what this Channel crap I'm always spittin is about. I render in Photoshop channels because it creates separations for shirts as I color. In screenprinting each separate color goes on a separate screen. (unless you index or process, but I'm old school and like the pure...it's only personal preference, there are many great ways to do it.)...anyway. I pick specific colors to render the car in and then I can see just that color on a channel. Here's the black only:

Here's the Reflex Blue channel only:

Here's my final render (mostly...I may revisit later)

regardless it was cool I learned a lot and I must move on.

Yummy... :p

I like the green.

Lemorris... As always... Awesome. Your pal will be more-than-pleased with this rendering. Something he'll be proud to show his friends. Robo

It awesome, the chrome is well done, luv
them rims and bumper.

Tastes good. Like chocolate, only green chocolate...

SORRY, I'm jacked up on morphine cause of my surgery.

:screwy:

Lol I had my hand chopped to shit so I'm pretty high on morphine, or was, they got me on tylonal-3 for now.

LOL what happened? :eek7:

Ahh bleh my finger got fractured into 3 pieces and they cut it open intending to put a wire in there. All went well but hurt like monkey ass, so I got a 5 MG/ML shot of morphin before I was sent home.

That sucks.

umm did it just "get fractured" while you were watching TV?

What happened?

oh...you two should get a room. :)
