Schumaker's Ferrari

[grantrl78]

I have a long way to go before I get all of this one.
So many stickers left to do. And a whole bunch of shading.
I have about 2 days of work in it.
I have never spent this much time on one.
Thank you guys for being supportive with my other posts.
It makes me want to draw more.

Hell thats AWESOME!!! It will look like extremely realistic when finished.

Great work!!

Did you trace the lines with the wacom? or is it vector?

[grantrl78]

Thanks knightvision, you rock!
It is with a wacom in painter. Then airbrush in photoshop.
Man it is hard to finish these things up.
The whole time my brain is going - You suck give up- give up- give up.
Turn around and watch tv..... tv.... tv....... god of war - god of war.
stickers are no fun...no fun...no fun....
I forgot to take my meds all last week.

I made a vector Focus WRC with stickers some days ago. Stickers suck. They kill time.
But don't give up! Your too near to the finish line and the drawing is great, so it would be a pitty if you give up!

You're one of the best of all our computer graphic artists.

Thanks for the encouragement!
But I ain't the best at anything.
Did you post the focus already?
I wanna see! I wanna see!

Hey! Here's a suggestion that's a lot more fun than stickers. If your doing this in Photoshop try blurring the rumble strips. It'll give the pic movement.

You think stickers are a bitch painting them try etching them in glass or stone on a NASCAR. I don't medicate with scripts but maaaan! When I do these I need something. And then the very last thing I'm putting on the glass it fractures @#$^%$$!!!! That's why I don't etch on single strength anymore unless its very, very simple.

Great work!

With stickers, sometimes I just make a copy of the general shape/colors and kind of blur the details/lettering,
if it's too small to been read.
Also, I leave out some if it starts to crowd the image.

Remember it's your design, you can change the "reality" as you want.

[grantrl78]

They should outlaw stickers in all motor sports!
Clear Hooter you are a masochist!
You have to love pain to draw on glass!
It sure is beautiful though.
I will try to blur it tonite. Also make the changes on the first ferrari too.
Blip I will leave those damn things out if I get home from work
and don't feel doing em. Tiny Ads are eyeball pollution.
But I have to get outta this forum before I get fired!!!

[ClearHooter]

The pains not only in the hands when etching on glass. The tool its done with makes a sound similar to a cross between a dentist drill and a jack hammer! Masochistic.........maybe. I ususlly wear a set of headphones and play music when I do one. MUSIC...NOT RAPP. I'd just as soon listen to the etching tool. Thats another reason I like the older race cars. They didn't clutter every square inch with an advertisement.

Looks AWSOME!!! Hmm....wouldn't that be the crappy 05 Ferrari that has all the problems? That or Schumy is gettin old....but I coubt that....

[grantrl78]

Clear hooter that IS hilarious!
"The tool its done with makes a sound similar to a cross between

Man - it sounds like fun though!

Thanks Alex! I use photoshop cs to paint.
I flatted comics for chaos! in my spare time for about 3 months
before they went belly up. The guy I sort of worked for
for said that I should use it. I kind of like some of the tools in painter
but have never learned to use it very well. Plus it runs slowly on my mini. I think the hd is too slow. PS seems to run fine.
Do you ever use ps to paint your stuff?

H.O.N.U. you rule! Thanks for the reply. It's the '05
I don't know much about F1 - but from what I read,
I think it is a little of both.
It is kind of depressing -
but I think schumy's godlike skills are starting to leave him.

[HighOctaneNOSUser]

It is, he is my favorite driver. He's got "PHizaz" but I think the dream is comming to an end...Unless he can pull a rabbit out of his ass and recover. I REALLY need to get PS lol, you guys do some amazing stuff in it.

[grantrl78]

Thanks man! photoshop is really cool! I't's too damn expensive but
I think you would like it.
