that is sweet!! have you ever thought of doing a few of these, framing them and then selling them cause i would sure buy one! by the way how did you render the fire? it looks amazing, great job

Sweet deal man, not too may "full scenes" around here. Looks great.

WOW! looks cool. The explosion and the road reflections are good! loads going on, great job :)

what was your medium? Thats a great drawing, I too agree that you should sell it.

OMG! That is one awsome picture. Must have taken you ages. I love the ground, it's really brings the drawin to life.
We need to see more! more i tell you!

:)

Amazing! Simply Superb!

I just crapped my pants- good job

It looks dope, business must be good you have not posted in a while. WTF on the truck, is that hidden symbolism?

:thumbsup:

Fantastic!!

Great work.

Post more.

WOW, amazing

what size paper did you use, and how long did it take, and what media, pencil crayons??? yah

very nice

WOW!!!!! That's AMAZING!!! :eek2: How did you make the explosion?

awesome job! thats sweet man

:thumbsup:

tim, the one word vocabulary guy..... if he's not givin you a thumbs up then your screwed



anyway the drawing HOLY CRAP! it's phenomenal i'm dying to see more!

i gotta work right now. i will address your questions in a bit.

name that is the best i have seen so far. the flames are great.

i did about 99% of it with ad markers, btw. chartpaks and trias; highlights with some prismacolor pencils and gouache. therefore, technique to achieve all f/x similar to watercolor -leave highlight areas blank and/or transparent, and work around them to darker areas.

composition is origninal, ie, there are no angles existing as photographs of either one of the cars. i interpreted them from references. i used my storyboarding skills to compose the frame.

i must work right now on a job for nissan murano. i will go into more of your questions specifically a little later.

thanks, guys for your warm comments and support. there will be more. believe me. my company is "visual homage."

awesome!! i love that!

my favorite part is what the truck says on it. :lol:

thanks. here is a storyboard sample of a GTO drifting:http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/500/55975gto_drift_1.jpg

what is that for...a movie?

yes. "the last ride", USA network, june 2nd, 8pm. dennis hopper. i storyboarded all major action sequences involving chases. cars are my area of specialty. although i will 'board out anything.

goto: http://www.pontiac.com/tlr/landing.jsp?source=tlrmedia

That is awesome!!

Love the storyboard. Do you animate too?

That is awesome!!

Love the storyboard. Do you animate too?

thanks. i did animate years ago. briefly. nothing to write home about, really. i know how to do it on a basic level. i think i will do that, though, in the near to mid-future as a film project. it just makes sense to me -i'm a draftsman. so why not keep doing it? just take it to the next level (i'm telling myself).

Sounds like a great job.

You work in Flash or Director at all?

wanna?

tim, the one word vocabulary guy..... if he's not givin you a thumbs up then your screwed


:dunno:

Do you do the storyboards by yourself? I imagine it must be a long process, how many storyboard do you do for a project on average?

hey tokes... you might wanna update your sig... your not a newbie anymore

Sounds like a great job.

You work in Flash or Director at all?

wanna?

i don't use those at all. never have. i probably will in my lifetime, eventually.

tokes, yes i hand-draw them all by myself. freehand. usually only with a ballpoint pen. no pencil layout.

hey tokes... you might wanna update your sig... your not a newbie anymore

That was random...


i don't use those at all. never have. i probably will in my lifetime, eventually.

That will be sweet!

KustmAce, i like your sig. it's funny. how did you do that? animate that yourself?

i have a general concept for an animated film about rival car gangs. like westside story with cars, kind of. it will incorporate the 'transformers' idea a bit. i've had the idea for years. it is dying to be animated. with a killer soundtrack.

shiet. i gotta work all night. i shouldn't even be on here. not done yet. long night ahead of me. and tomorrow.

i found your killer soundtrack :biggrin: www.purevolume.com/djdjham this is the best dj eva! :biggrin:

It looks dope, business must be good you have not posted in a while. WTF on the truck, is that hidden symbolism?

yes. it is symbolism.

what the f*ck.

business is busy right now. yes.

i found your killer soundtrack :biggrin: www.purevolume.com/djdjham this is the best dj eva! :biggrin:

that is cool stuff! thanks! i will bookmark that.

here is another one (i did it years ago):http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/500/55975hon_ten_1.jpg

yo that is HOT all of your scenes i like them and by the way im curious what kind of car is the blue one on the first pic you posted?

yo that is HOT all of your scenes i like them and by the way im curious what kind of car is the blue one on the first pic you posted?

that car was initially a 4th gen maxima. however, after i rendered it, i realized it did not look enough like that car! i drew it too narrow. and the body kit further removes it from that identity. but it works out for the better: from the reactions of viewers, the picture stands on it's own anyway. and it is vague enough to hold up in court to skirt copyright issues if it is ever published for profit. so it was a happy mistake.

subsequently, i may do more cars that are not quite "the car," but look vaguely enough like a car you may have seen (like the cars in 'grand theft auto'). this way, i am safer. the car in the tokyo environment, for example, is not even a car that exists at all except in my own fantasy; it is an "amalgam." so this whole way of thinking pushes my own car design sensibilities through instead of relying on pre-existing ones. it makes further sense, too, as in storyboarding for tv and film, the primary concern is to tell a convincing enough story that is most often a fabricated reality. like in a graphic novel.

i sort of went off on a ramble there. oh well.

woah! that looks alot like my friends car, any reference?

wowzez

rps13, i'll look for the pic i used as reference. that looks like the car.

sorry for getting o.t. but...@rps13 does that say b16240sx in your signature becuase b16 is a honda engine

OMG! That is one awsome picture. Must have taken you ages. I love the ground, it's really brings the drawin to life.
We need to see more! more i tell you!

:)

thanks. if i added up all the time it actually took, not counting days away from it to handle clients and fart around, i probably only put in about 3 full days of work on it. that includes trolling for references, from blank paper to scanning it.

if i were under a deadline, i'd turn it around in about a day, from dawn to dusk. includes layout, reference-finding, meals, runs to kinkos and/or art store, scanning. that is a typical storyboard/comp deadline.

nicely done man. i especially like the WTF on the truck lol

sorry for getting o.t. but...@rps13 does that say b16240sx in your signature becuase b16 is a honda engine

Hey thats not funny! :p........ b16 is the color of my car

so your car must be blue...lol...

i wanna see some more work. it inspires me to do some of my best

i'll do some more.

my S14 is painted B16.

hold up for a sec....you have an s14!!!!!! lets see it!!

Hey, Nice car bonzelite! I really like that bodykit. Always been a fan of s14's.


Oh yeah, and excellent drawing, love the explosion!

thank you, quarter_mile. front fascia is skyline repro. i have r32 GTR wheels ready for a 5-lug swap in my garage (along with all parts for swap, incl. z32 brakes, ss lines, rotors). i will wait for LSD rear and kei office coilovers before i do entire swap, as i'll have to take all of that shiet out at same time anyway.

nice car!

how did you get a lefthand drive. i thought they were just right handed...or maybe im dumb. :banghead:

how did you get a lefthand drive. i thought they were just right handed...or maybe im dumb. :banghead:

S14 = Silvia and/or 240SX.

Silvia= JDM = SR20DET =right hand drive (like skyline).
240SX= USDM = KA24DE = left hand drive.

you're not dumb. you just didn't know.

also: 1995-96 S14 = Zenki
1997-98 S14 = Kouki

now you know. :)

i noticed the trailer has WTF on it , which is funny, good job on the fire

man.... thats awesome!

Not sure how I missed your cop chase, but da----ang yo, I luv it.

Awesome art!

Alfred

thanks, al. i bought a sh!tload of car models tonite. so i'm gearing up to do another big one.

Did you say model cars....hee hee

That is funny, I know Kartoonz uses model cars for his art.

One day I had an idea, yes one idea. :) I was speaking or reading about avation art (imparticularly war plane aviation). I read that these artist make models of war planes and use them for ref.

I then thought, uhhmmm. Why not make model cars and use them for ref. It would be so nice to generate any angle I want from a model car.

I mostly carry my digi-cam to get shots of cars on the streets.

So here is my question? Are you going to actaully assemble them as quick as possible or spend the time to make them nice (painted)?

I have tossed around the idea of just assembling mine and priming (gray)them only to see the body lines. Then I said nah, I will make them look nice. I would hate to just do that to my Tamiya and Fujimi models.

Some models I just sand and assemble even leaving out engines...hee hee (do that to Revell kits)

al aka The Lazy Modeler

al, the cars i bought are all die-cast pre-assembled. i don't have time to build models. however, i did get an S14 model kit, as that car is impossible to find as a die-cast. and i will go all-out with that build-up, as i must look at it and enjoy it for years.

although, on a job months ago, i needed a helicopter. finding none die-cast, i had to resort to a kit -the kind that needs glue and paint. and i used scotch tape to assemble it!!! i had the basic thing built in about fifteen minutes!!! i've never gone back to finish it the right way, as i don't care.

models are instrumental, as they afford greater flexibility than photos, and you're essentially drawing from life. i used models constantly on "the last ride" movie. and what the models lacked, i used photos as reference to further dial-in the drawing.

i use models to draw people, too. the company "art s. buck" makes great posable and detailed anatomy models. what the models lack in true anatomical motion i just look at my own body for reference.

Yup, that makes sense, using the die-cast.

Time is money.

Thx for sharing.

I like your quick rendering of the Land Rover.
Will you share more steps for your quick rendering tech.?
I mean post a steb-by-step tutorial.

If you don't I understand you are busy.

Alfred

al, i'd be glad to do a step-by-stepper. i have that in mind anyway. it may not be immediately soon. yet i will do one. just be patient.

i think using models is the next best thing to having the real thing on your desk. this way, the artist has endless creative freedoms whilst maintaining realism.

for the record, if i haven't already said it, the 'tuner car running from the cops' is a derived angle based on several photos of maximas and cop cars. the front wheel was drawn with a template as were several, not all, lines of the body. the drawing is a total mixture of template with freehand.

Fantastic, other than the WTF on the truck ;)

lookee here. i found this last night as i was throwing out stuff. i'll file it now and post it:

http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/500/55975bluemax_lowrez_1-med.jpg

Cool, like the way you did the front wheel. Did you use a compas?

Cool, like the way you did the front wheel. Did you use a compas?

template. same difference.

i seldom use a compass anymore. i will resort to a compass if i've left my templates somewhere or lost them, or if i need to do an extreme arc. in that case, i will use a string with a tack for the center, then tie it to a pencil.

car body is a freehanded invention based on a couple of references.

This picture is amazing Bonzelite!
