1967 Camaro Progress

[Ra_15]

Cheers you lot. Should finish it sometime today. I'll do you a 1024 by 768 BuLLDoGG, and no, PS hasnt arrived yet, so I think it will come around next wednesday. Hey you! well spotted . When I finish the car, I'll either call it a day and rub out the cars in the window, or I'll draw the WHOLE background. Not sure what I'll do yet though.

looks great my man!!

thats kinda wierd that you would sign you drawing before you even started to shade it. lol

[Ra_15]

I know lol, don't see why not though.

[Ra_15]

OK, I've Finished! (I think) Took around 7 hours. I'm still debating whether to do the B/G.

By the way, is it a 67 camaro or a 68?

What do you think?

[quarter_mile]

Fantastic!! your best yet!

As for B/G, if you are confident with it, just do it!

[Ra_15]

Thanks. The pic looks better in the flesh because my scanner made it a bit grainy. I might do the b/g tommorow, plus add a few more touches to the car.

[BuLLDoGG]

i think its a very nice car! (pls don't forget to make 1024 pix copy for me thnx) B/G are u planning to make it as good as actual car? if yes its going to be a great drawing!

[Ra_15]

I'll do the 1024 pic now, if anyone else wants it just say. And yes, if I do the b/g, I'll make it as good as the car.

[Ra_15]

OK, here's the "Desktop Edition" for you BuLLDoGG! Its 1024 by 768. If anyone else wants to use it, like I said, feel free.

wow!! very nice Ra_15!!

I like it a lot. Good reference helps.

It occured to me that your drawing would look really cool on a shirt. Converting straight pencil to halftones or indexing is a pain, and since you loose some dot on the screen it's better to make it more of a graphic.

Hell...I'll show you what I mean. Hold on......

now no offense I of course would never try to offend you in any way. I would never take your stuff either, just giving you some food for thought. ok?

So I did a quick increase contrast, to lose some white, then I adjusted levels. I really scrunched in on it because next I converted to bitmap as a halftone. I set it to round and 55 dots per inch at a 45 degree angle....anyone know why?....That's right to eliminate moire!!



I just know it would look cool on a white shirt, or if you took the negative, trimmed it to the shape of the car and printed it with white ink on a black shirt it would be awesome!! All the black would be created by the shirt itself and the car would emerge from the fabric.

Here's the halftone up close so you can see what it looks like.



Once again no offense...just brain food.

Excellent work. I'll keep my eye on you from now on.

p.s. Tell the printer to burn it on at least a 220 and to extend the black so you don't get dot gain and gum up the works.

FYI

[Ra_15]

Do you want to do it as a shirt? I would have no idea how to do it, so if you wanted to, go ahead.

If so, do you want it at a higher resolution?

p.s, would you be able to sell them?
