Here we go again.

This time I got a 4 car design due by Monday a.m. (aaaarrrrggghhh)

The practice I got on the VW thing should help...I hope.

Anyway to do the layout I went into Illustrator and hooked up some text and then combined it with the photos I have. I converted each photo to greyscale and then did a filter find outlines. Then I hit ctrl+i which inverts the image and gives me a pseudo line look. This way I can show my client what I plan in a semi-drawing way.

Here's the layout:

I'm starting the pencil work on the Sandrail tonight. I'll probably try to eliminate a step and get it into Illustrator sooner so I have enough time to redraw in Illy and render in Photoshop.

Nice layout, I like seeing a "Thing" in the mix.

lolol "Bugtoberfest" hahaha!

You must be good to make puns in a foreign language!

I really like the style I guess it's a photoshop filter?
What is that thing on the upper right hand side?

Can you also compete with the Oktoberfest Beer?

nice ....hey by the way did you catch the new monster garage last night?

Yeah saw it...cool

cracked up cause the cop didn't know who he was

thought it was awsome i think that bug could make it in to the 9 seconds on a normal drag event plus that is the collest drawing you've ever done

Nice layout Lemorris, looking forward to the finished product.
