Bugtobrfest 2008

[lemorris]

Started it for this year.

here's some past shirts/poters







Each of the vehicles is someone in our community so it's pretty cool cause I get to do the art for the shirt and a friend gets their car on the shirt and I send hi-res prints of their car solo as well.

here's my thumbnail for this year



Here's the pencil on the 52 split

Your photo-realistic artwork is fantastic.

I see that your thumbnail was done "toony" style, but the first pencil is very realistic.
Any challenges in the overall design process when you start out the initial design
with one style (CAR-toony), but knowing you're going to finish it as more realistic layout?
I'm thinking that getting the perspectives right could be a bear.

[lemorris]

the thumbnail sketch is just a rough thought. The proportions and stuff don't translate to the final directly.

After I finish the linework on the vehicles I'll do another layout and fit them in.

As far as perspective, you'll notice that I keep the vehicles separate for the most part and they aren't necessarily in the same "world". That way I can just draw them and drop them in. My design skills are pretty rudimentary so I take short cuts. with practice I'll get better. I try to do a little better each time out and try not to be "perfect" just better than the last time.

That helps me keep going.

pencil rough on the bus

[GirlBear]

you r to god damn much. lol lovin it!!

[lemorris]

It's rare that I do something I like. This one is close though. I don't think it's the linework which I always see flaws in (real or imagined), in this case I think the character of his bus is there. It feels like Thayers bus. I got lucky

here's the pencil rough on the buggy.



I'm going to transfer it again and fix everything. It's a pretty good start for me though.
