Hey, I don't post very often, mostly just read, educating myself. Thought you would maybe enjoy this piece i just finished. The technique is called cell shading in case you were curious. Not incredibly hard, but very very tedious. The picture I used as an underlay is from import speed south. In a few years when I actually am in a position to afford one, this is probably what i'd do to it.

 

that looks real good, congats on the effort

 

very nice man very nice indeed. How long did that take you?

 

Ya thanks, this one took me probably around 4 hours.

 

that looks great! have any links to a place that can teach me how to do it?

 

Nice job!

 

that's nice looking... i may have to try it with mine sometime

bricke... you need to find a way to make bigger avatars

 

That is really badass!!, I'm impressed, think you could make one of those for my car

PS. my avatar was done in the windows program "paint"
<------

 

hahaha, I gotta show that to Jose.

 

please




or post pics

 

Johnyrengo, the pic looks great, what software did you use? Keep up the good work.

 

that looks really good nice job

 

very nice...i like the background,
the car is nice but you shouldve made the lines thinner...theyre too bold

 

Looks great, What program did you use? Photoshop?

 

I want one done of mine, what do I need? lol...I need a new background.

 

Yeah, you should see if you can do some other peoples 7's on here. That looks incredible.


I can save him the trouble, just happened to have that pic loaded up.



Sorry for the post whoring....

 

I made a quick pic similar in style, but not as good using Photochop in about 1 minute... I'd like to know the technique to do one by hand....

couldnt find any of my old ones, must've deleted them. anyways, i started a new one. dunno whos fd it is to begin with but im nowhere near done yet.

comments would help i need to clean up a lot of things still but like i said im not done yet.

 

Hey back from vacation, ya i use photoshop. I select various areas i want to have different tones and I use the "stroke" function, then use paintbucket to fill in, but using different layers so i can adjust hue, saturation, and darkness in each zone. A pretty basic technique, but like i said, tedious. Actually the best way to cell shade is to draw the lines in Adobe Illustrator then work on it in photoshop, but I've never bothered to learn it.

That looks really sweet Rayn, really graphic, although I'd probably give more contrast between the different tones of yellow, ya know, accentuating the curves a little more. I've done a few other cell shades except without black lines. An e36 m3, two ferrari 250 gto's, and an incomplete tvr tuscan r.

If you guys want me to do a cell shade for you, you can post or send me a pic, and if it's good enough to inspire me to spend 4+ hours on it, then i just might do it. If not i'm sure someone else probably could. The most important thing is the picture should be at a good angle and at high enough resolution.

And by all means, go ahead and continue with the post whoring, love the shirt.

 

yea thats a great shirt thanx for the comments. i havent touched that yellow fd in a while and thats just the first layer of shadows and highlights. there would be more differences if i ever finish it. been too busy here at work lately.
