Okay, here is a WIP for another t-shirt design I am working on. Unfortunately, I will not have anything more on it for a while until the client gets back to me with an approval. It is for an event in June.

Kewl... I got me some stars under my name!!! does this mean I am close to loosing the 'Newbie' status?

I like this car a lot Jeri.

You have a great understanding of whats going on.

I really dig the headlights.

Thanks for sharin,

Hi Jeri,

Dang that is tight. I luv the design of the hotpeppers for flames.

Ok at this stage you are still on AI, correct?
The reflections headlights and grill, done in AI too?

What I notice about you and Lemorris is you both have a nack for removing details and simplifing reflections instead of trying to just copy the ref.

I'm taking notes, it all about observing and studying the masters...hee hee

Thank you for sharing and being so open about your techniques.

close, but not there yet, I think you have the pass the 50 post point (maybe even 25 if you're lucky).

About the shirt, it looks great, I really hope you will finish it - it has alot of potential when its in your hands!

All of this is in Illustrator. Most of the lines will stay on the final design. The only ones I will be removing are the moldings. They will be represented by darker colors to contrast the yellow (like orange and grey).

Most of the time, I don't like to see "black" lines unless there is a "black" line on the car... like a door or hood seam

I am going towards a heavier outline around the cars than I used to do. I like that look on other artist work so I think I will 'borrow' it for a while.

Looks great so far.

:eek2: Amazing work!

holy cow.

wow.

wow!! Looks great so far. I like the way you simplify the reflections but still manage to make it look awesome. I'll be looking forward to this one.

Alex

wow.

That is all I can say.

Looks absolutely insane Jeri. That's one hell of alot of chrome!

Alex

Oh deár. How many hours do you have to work for an artwork like that? It's incredible.

That's very nice work!

This one took longer than most. I put in a little over 30 hours. Here is the final (I hope) it is out on approval...

Wow!! Amazing stuff Jeri. 30 hours for the entire thing or just the hotrod? Keep up the great work

Alex

awesome Jeri!!

did you do the characters too?

awesome Jeri!! did you do the characters too?

The body of the girl is taken from an old mel's diner design. The client wanted it in the design because they are running an "American Graffiti" theme with a couple of the stars from the movie as guests at the show. I was afraid of copyright issues so I changed it to be 'similar'. I drew the head of the actress, 'candy' something that will be at the show and used it on the old body. I figured it was changed enough to be safe and still have the same 'look'

"Speedy" is an actual logo of a diner around those part and a sponsor of the event. I drew the building to go with it. I also drew the Juke box way back when and just this year have I had an occassion to use it.

With all of the hours involved, I am ging to be lucky to be getting $10 per hour by time it is finished! But it was a fun design!

Thats awesome! You are amazing!

WOW NICEEEEEEEEEE WORK !!! this is sick mann your a talent

My goodness that is sweet!!!! Jeri, I give up. :)

I luv the peppers and that engine, and that whole design. Awesome job, girl.

How many ponies does that hot rod have, big block + nos + super charger (roots), da-ang, yo.

PS: Those peppers look air brushed not computer rendered, wow.
