Checking in

[FlyingPolock]

Hey guys,
Thought I'd check in after seeing lemorris' link over on Motorburg
My name is Brian, and I've been drawing professionally for over ten years, and do this to support my family... I own Problem Child Kustoms Studio, and have been fortunate to grab some ink over the years.

Been looking in at the great skill here for a while, and figured I'd sign up and post a few pieces... Glad to be here, and thanks for checking out my stuff!

Older piece I did for Truckin':


Older Mustang (car is currently at trim shop) :


2010 Cube based on Roth's Surfite:


3D anaglyph I created using art I penned for Rod and Custom Magazine:


Playing around with an AMC Hornet:

Just FYI you guys

This is Brian Stupski

easily the tops in the auto art field right now IMO.

The top magazines and auto art collectors agree.

I know it's been slow up here lately (for a while actually) but if you're just lurking, waiting on something big to happen...well it just did.

Brian's a kind humble cat so take advantage...ask away.

This is a big deal IMO.

Thanks for takin the time Brian.

Brian, welcome. I want that Hornet, long time AMC fan and use to own a 68 AMX.
It's such a great pleasure having you sharing your fantastic art on this site.

[FlyingPolock]

Ah, you kill me, lemorris... thanks for the big head, man. (I showed this to my wife, and I still had to clean dishes, though...)

Thanks for the welcome, guys, and Blip, it's good seeing you here, too! rexsins-art, good seeing you, as well! Thanks for the kind words, and as lemorris said, feel free to hit me up with any questions, and I'll try my best, or at least get you pointed in the right direction. This is a great career where you always learn something new, and I'm looking forward to doing that here, too!

Thanks again!

Dude! I've seen your stuff like everywhere! I'm excited! Nice to meet you! *G*

[lemorris]

Fine...I'll ask



note: I try to pick this guys brain like my son used to pick his nose...and that's a damn lot.

anyway

Brian,

Obviously your work has some digital stuff goin on with it. By that I mean you're doing some photoshop work and stuff like that. Your drawings have a very organic feel to them though. I mean they still look hand drawn and loose yet very polished.

Do you do a pencil rendering and work over that, or do you achive the soft hand feel in your work purely digitally?

-Lemorris

p.s. You and I need to set up a meet. I'm in Phoenix way too often for us not to have had coffee yet.

p.p.s. If you ignore the previous p.s. I'll cry...no s_it.

First off, sir... we GOTTA meet up! I need to shake your hand and all that... HUGE fan of yours, and knowing that we live under the same desert sun is amazing indeed. Let's get that planned!

On the questions, let's see.... All of my doodles start on paper... plain old sketches to get the angle, main details and lighting figured out, then I scan in the sketch, and it's all Illustrator from there. The goal was to keep my hand-drawn, goofy-assed linework, but make everything editable.
No brushes, gradient meshes, plug-in's or anything... I'm working on a HUGE, super-detailed tutorial series, and as it gets done, I'll share how I do whatever it is that I do.

On some pieces, after output (or "printing", if you like non-studio jargon like me), I'll hit the piece with the airbrush, some ink, whatever I'm in the mood for, just to get more detail and have some fun. If it's a design for a shop, I usually spray some toners and 'flake to nail the paint spot-on.. key here is shipping the rendering flat, as rolling it delivers a goofy-looking drawing with a tube full of paint chips. Ask me how I learned that.... (I am every Polock joke in human form... I accept my fate.)

Hope that helps a bit... I'm not secretive (OK, maybe about "the incident", perhaps), so ask away... I'll be doing the same, anyway... So much I want to learn yet, and you guys have some killer techniques!

[ChevyGuy81]

Welcome Brian, I also watch you on DA amazing stuff man, and now that I know you and lemorris are here in the desert, it truly inspires me to get my arse in gear and start turning out some more stuff. I really dig your style and customization ideas in your pieces. I have some ideas runnin through the ol noggin that I definitely need to start getting down on paper.

[rpterpstra]

Very cool stuff, Brian.

Welcome! Great to see the pros drop into this little corner of the planet.
