Hey @PGA STUDIOS
That is indeed some great manipulation of well selected parts and pieces of great machines from the past all rendered in a great digital medium!
Bravo, well done!

Me being a total hack that had to do it the old way with slides I have shot, and then projected and connected with old school line drawing and pen and ink, I am still amazed at what the younger people can do with such talent!

Here is a sample of what 7 different slides, of real machine's can morph into, which eventually turned into silk screened T-shirts as seen here, worn by one of the greatest hot rod and dragster builders,

1956 Ford Custom Truck

Hello,

Ever since I got a ride inside of the coolest 56 Ford Custom Truck in the Westside of Long Beach, I have always wanted a truck. Since our daily drivers are already set, my drawing board gets the make over multiple times to showcase the different way this cool truck can be customized.

This time, instead of a Tahitian Red/Candy Apple version of the original truck I rode in during my 1956 kid year, it got a multiple blue color, then pure red, then the custom approached came into play. The colors originally chosen did not look right, so I dabbled with purple, with blue highlight flames.

My wife likes purple and the pink color is for her, too. She always chuckled when I drew flames and when our granddaughter was a toddler, she, too like my flames on most art work we all did in the afternoons. Ha! She even wanted me to draw a small flame on her latest college car as a reminder of those early toddler to teen days when she was with us 6 days a week.

This was the first time commercial truck rims were sized correctly for the custom 1956 Ford Truck.

The accessories and colors may not be in the favorite section of some folks, but… YRMV

 

My most recent OT... did this as a tribute to my Mom. She was born on this date, January 16, 1925.
She grew up in a very isolated farm community in eastern Colorado.
Drawn in erasable colored pencils; then photographed, cropped and refined using digital watercolors.

It’s ALIVE! Hope everyone had a great holiday season, sorry to be a stranger.work and adjusting to the new home have kept me away. I’ll try to do better in ‘26 as the levity seems very necessary these days.

exploring a concept that popped in my mind one night related to this old sketch of an unknown sports roadster.



The mash up and, maybe, production version…

 

^^^ Good to see you, Mark. Your concept looks British to me, the way it has those beautiful, long flowing lines. Reminds me of one of the hottest roadsters in the U.K. in the 1950's... the Jaguar XK 120... only with a Jigger twist.
Cheers, Rob

 

...a new "board" I just started...
