Well, it's not exactly comic art but it's similar and it's about all I've had time to work on lately. My brother did the line art, I did the colors. I've got a long ways to go but I dunno if I'll ever get there or not. http://7caco.deviantart.com/art/dahlia-105911225
Long ways to go? Um, doubt it. Nice work as usual.
HA! well i appreciate it but it's true. Apparently my brain relates to steel better than organic subject mater. I think I did ok with the girl (she's for some contest btw, I dunno who she is) but the final product doesn't really live up to what I had in my head. I dunno how to explain it I guess. I can live with my cars when I put them along side some of the car artists that I admire (and just "live with"), but my digital painting next to some guys ... craptastic.
I don't have a lot of muscle car stuff but I hope to get more. Been playin VW for a long time so I thought I'd branch out a bit.
I worked as a shirt printer for 7 years and as a result I still do a lot of shirt art. The methods I use are mostly geared towards shirt separations and a lot of limited pallet stuff. Many times I convert the channels to cmyk and get prints and they come out fine. Anyway, I'll lurk and post where appropriate.
Hey, I'm Ron.
Born and raised in a small Kansas town in '69, currently live outside of Wichita. Grew up an only child so drawing took up alot of my time. Exposed to hot rods at an early age so started drawing cars out of stacks of late 60's and early 70's Hot Rod magazines when I was pretty young. Attended a two year "Commercial Art" program in the late 80's. All hand skills - no computers!Currently I'm the Art Director for a vinyl graphics corp. in Wichita. Been designing marine, RV and automotive aftermarket graphics for about 17 yrs. Started using Photoshop at work in the early 90's and just started applying what I learned to what I loved most, cars! I really love traditional hot rods, but am not stuck in the past and believe in moving forward. Here's a few examples of stuff I've done that may be okay for this forum.

Lemorris- Welcome, I like your style! And art all in the family, how'd you pull that off? Great work from everyone. My 10 yr old son likes to do flash animations on the computer. He and I are working on a comic strip together.
Ron- Nice photochopping!! Got family near Wichita, we may be visiting this summer, if we do I'll try to drop by and say hey. Welcome aboard.
Both of you- Get in on our monthly contest (photochops count too!), coming up soon...
Been absent for a while, but getting back into things, had to deal w/ some personal things
I'm really trying to focus on 2D "real" looking work and or 2D "artistic" look
I've mostly done car using channel separations. It gives the car a semi toon coloring look. I like the look but I want to try for a more real style.
