*******thurs/friday Art Show*******

well, I've never started one of these and didnt want to wait haha.

Im reposting last weeks work, because I had quite a few questions on how I took it from sketch to final product with photoshop. Now Im new to photoshop, so Im not going to get into techniques (cause there are probably better ways of doing things that I dont know yet). But here is the 54 chev in progression, I primarily use the pen tool and the airbrush and essentially "paint" the picture. Hope this helps those who asked.

***oh and open the windows in full for best quality***

 

Thankx for the insight ynottayblock; I really must try to use Photoshop more; see if it works for me as well. I do most of my stuff in Illustrator.

Here's my alter-ego's self-portrait: Idiot's Delight...

 

I like how you treated the chrome.. simple but effective (to yblock)

 

...

 

i have got to get me some of that cool newfangled photoshop software stuff. way cool!

 

My cousin, Chris Mestas......LOSTFK...I think is his HAMB handle....did some art on a toilet seat I painted....before we cleared it...

 

...striped up a pile of stuff this week, a kleenex dispenser and an air cleaner

 

....and a milkshake machine , and a 30 Packard

 

....and a plexi panel with flourescents, and a 4' wall thermometer.

 

Hey Dutch, I like that one!

Another smalll piece. 1-shot on plywood.

 

The videos are cool.

Thanks,
Kurt

 

C'est Français Hot Rod
Ettore Bugatti would likely be spinning in his grave
like a lathe if he could see this.

This is NOT a Bugatti Atlantic Elektron Coupe.
Only guys like Ralph Lauren can afford one of those.

What I did here started out as a HAMBers 37 Plymouth Sedan.
I chopped, sectioned, shortened and gave it the look-alike spines
that run down the middle of the body and fenders. I think it comes
close to simulating one of the most elegant automobiles ever produced.

PLUS... it's hot rodded!
An exposed straight eight with fuel injection, alloy wheels,
dropped front axle and suicide doors round out the look.

I give you the Fauxgatti.

 

cool stuff so far this week. heres a new one i did of the rod & kulture buick for my pop for christmas.

 

Thankx Robin B; I drew a modern style crescent-wrench for my monster first, just like the one in your picture but then I found a photo of an old style Ford monkey-wrench and changed it.

Mezzo; your work is excellent; I love the Sinner's Prayer piece. Thought it was actual oil paint when I saw it first; awesome!

 

i'm sure you hear it all the time but your work is amazing

 

Another great start to another fantastic show.Love that toilet seat,Radshit!

My contribution;

Just gettin into sketchin the rods. Here is my dream build, a 30' A sedan shortened and chopped with a bed. Kinda 60's surf inspired. I really dig it.

 

A quick one I did just now at work, on my wacom.

 

i've never posted any of my work, cuase its not the quality of most, buth thought i'd chime in this week. i'm also not a portrait artist in the least bit, but heres my feeble attempt...

Feeble my butt!!! That's terrific! Welcome aboard.

 

Gary, this think looks really friggin' cool, buddy!

Zombie, ol' reliable himself, done outdone himself. Nice work.

Mezzo, the yellow coupe is so cool and the pick-up, magnifique. ( or however those Frenchies spell it.)

My stuff, if I have any, will have to wait.

Thanks all for showing us your stuff!

 

GaryC, I always look forward to your art show contributions! I'd roll the hell out of that!

Zombie, ChopperOlli, amazing as always.

 

You guys all do amazing work.!
This week I started blocking in the colors on "Drag Nut" for the finkosel. After all the colors are layed on, the airbrush shading work begins

 

Zombie, great work on the Buick longroof. I love wagons.
I did this Camaro illustration in marker, colored pencil, lead pencil and white gouache for highlights. It was a commission for a friend who is going to give it to his father-in-law(his car) for Christmas.
