WIP - GT500 Eleanor

Still needs a couple of hours of tweaking, but it's getting there.

Oh AWESOME. If you don't mind Robo, can you email me a big copy? My friend would love it for his desktop background... alexdowby61@msn.com

Done! Now I have to draw a regular GT500, and some closeups of various Eleanor characteristics - the "Go Baby Go" button on the shifter, a rim, the GT500 badge, that kind of thing. :)

Looks Great! Nice stance and reflections!

That looks tight.
What is the medium?
Thx

Thanks! :)

It was drawn first with fine point marker, scanned in, then coloured in Photoshop, mostly using selected areas and the paint bucket tool. I usually use about 30 layers to build up and blend reflections.

Ok, IC
It was hard to tell because the lines looked like a sketch but the color looked like marker or something. That is a great technique; I haven't tried that yet. I read about it in the Hot Wheels book.

Thank you for sharing

Awesome, I love that car, I've seen the movie 5 times now, I think. Your rendering is awesome aswell!!

Thanks a lot!
Yah - I've seen the movie umpteen times too - an old boyfriend gave me a copy four or five years ago.

Hey guys, I just realized... I forgot to put the side mirror on. Doh!!! :iceslolan

I just realized who drew this. LMFAO I thought it was robo because that's totally his style LMFAO I'm still laughing as I type this. My apologies Black...

No problem! :iceslolan

Awesome artwork.
Are you also writing the article to go with the illustrations?

I've been checking the sites and haven't seen much by you recently,
unless you're not getting a by-line.

Thanks Blip

Which sites have you been checking? I've had several on www.painkillerz.ca. Haven't had any on Canadian Driver for the past couple of weeks, but there should be a couple next week.

I was writing the text to go with these pieces, which are called "Legends". They aren't on the internet, they're for a syndicate that distributes features to newspapers (www.wheelbasecom.com). I'm just illustrating them now, it's quicker.

Mostly the "Painkillerz" site, I forgot about the
"Legends" material being for print media.
The Washington Post and our other local paper don't carry that column.

Ohhh... on Painkillerz, I had the Commander, Daytona and Legendary Motorcar stories last week. :)
They're still there.. just click on the pictures of them.

Oh yeah... the review of the fire truck is mine too. :)

Thanks for the info, I had been going straight to the "fast stories" section, missed the other stuff.

The firetruck drive looks to have been great fun.

great drawing!

I've seen some manga done in a similar fashion

thanks for the peek into your process
