Comparable to Chip Foose but w/ MS Paint

Thats pretty good.If any one has worked in paint before you know how tough that limited taht software is.Photshop would definetly have been easier but i'm guessing it was done to prove a point.

I just did one in photshop similar angle and it did take me a good 6-8hrs to get 90% complete.

I am working on a pilot that will include doing customized versions of random people's cars

I'd watch that as long as they dont give the cars away to rich SOB's who dont deserve it.

I agree!

Basically would have two guys rate an owner's car (good cop/bad cop). One guy would rip it a part (verbally) and the other guy would actually appraise it. Also show a car owner what the possibilities are (finished custom illustration) and how much it was worth when it is all said & done.

A friend of mine came up with the same Idea (Overhaulin') in 2003 and pitched the show to Jay Leno. A month later Overhaulin' was on the air! We were really discouraged. It took us three years to come up with something else and a year to actually develop it.

We will not be building the car...just showing potential.
Cannot give away too much or someone else will run with it.

That guy has awesome skills..I'm sure he has years on top of years of experience in art/ drawing...I'm also willing to bet that he's using a tablet..Personally theres no way I could use a mouse with that kind of precision

As far as the Pilot is concerned, it'd be nice if youcould do the work for people would would appreciate it rather than sell the thing a few months later like the kids on Pimp My Ride do

That would be nice. Yes, I do use a mouse throughout the whole process...
I get cramps with a tablet. Check out the next posting...latest creation in Photoshop.....Camaro z/28

This thing took about 14 hrs!

i use a mouse for mine as well. for anything vector a tablet is pretty much as hard or equally as useless/useful as a mouse. for blending and painting, then yeah i use the tablet.

Unless you're using some software like Alias Sketch or want to try doing some rough linework in PS it's sort of a waste of money. I do everything with the mouse that came with my machine... nothing fancy.
