hey, tell you what, let's ride the short bus

[bonzelite]

here is something that i just had to bang out. it is not finished, btw, but i just cannot contain myself tonite. here we go:

Wow! Thats one cool looking bus. I like the wheels and lights, but im not sure about how much that grill sticks out, perhaps you could put it on a bit of an angle. Ofcourse you do what you want to it.

[bonzelite]

in what way do you mean the angle the grille? explain. like it's facing down more?

[Ra_15]

So its facing more towards the sky.

[bonzelite]

got it. understand. i can make a lot of variations of this one. i just may, actually. it's a raw material awaiting further tooling.

if i cover up the bottom part, diminishing it's tallness with the wheels, it looks pretty cool, too. ie, lowering it.

[lemorris]

That is awesome Bonz!!

The perspective is great.

I like wheels and how the fenders help everything flow back.

You must be a very clear thinker, your line isn't confused like mine.

you know what you did with this drawing

you had a romantic candle lit dinner with it
then you walked it home
gave it a nice kiss
it invited you inside
you made love to it
in the morning you made it breakfast
and you said you loved it



very cool bus man...

make it have wings

secretmodder, you pull through again! your wit perpetually amazes me. i think you're my 'metaphor brother.' your a visual-linguist. wow. and thanks for the props. i think i'll work on this one further.

lemorris, thanks for props, man. you're not so shabby yourself there. i think you think and draw very clearly. see, for example:

just tell me this, as i go off-topic just a wee bit (and pardon my illiteracy), how do you mask off regions on a drawing, as you do, in photoshop to add a tonal gradation or repeated pattern? like on the grille of your buick? ie, how do you get the pattern or fill to fit *exactly* within a custom-drawn region? like if i wanted to fill the bus' tires with a grey scale tone, how do i exactly select the tire's regions? i just don't get it. and when i f?#ck with the xacto knife tool, i don't get jack sh!t.

You need to use the polygonal lasso Bonzy. If you need more help with it just ask.

[SeCrEtMoDdEr]

heh, i know what you mean about that xacto knife

i make a cut, and it does nothing...at all

nothing
nada
zip
nic
niet
no game
none
no nothing

hate it

[mike@af]

The tool y'all call the X-Acto knife in PS is used for slicing images into hyperlinks and what not for web development.

hmm. ok. cool. i dunno wtf that is, but i will be asking you and lemorris about this. it is time i became more literate with PS. it can only help my clients out (and me). do i need a wacom pen?

i'm going to vegas tonite and over the weekend for the drift nationals (i'm a nismo fan all the way). so i will be revising the bus and asking about PS when i get back say monday-ish.

i;ll let you know how it went.

No wacom pen is needed. When you get back I will help you out with some print screens and such.
