fisch Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Well it is about time I finished a 521 drawing!! (Seeing as I own one.) I worked on this piece in small spurts over many, many months but finally dug in and finished it. That is a Keg of Sake on the roof rack. And I thought it would be awesome to use a katana sword and stand as bed rails. You can see parts of Oil Drop in there still too, like the puke tank. And I put someone in there to share a drink with! Hope you guys dig! It will probably be a while before I get the time to do another! Quote Link to comment
CharlieBucket Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Another classic, i love sake! Quote Link to comment
jefe de jefes Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 (edited) nice job bro! The gal on the hood reminds me of the little ceramic fisherman figurines. Edited November 12, 2009 by jefe de jefes Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 I like it :cool: The mud flaps are a nice detail :D Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 (edited) The sake "keg" is lying on its side and won't pour worth a damn that way. The best sake containers are made of willow wood, gives a great aged taste to the contents. Could that be Ozeki sake? Edited November 12, 2009 by MikeRL411 spelling Quote Link to comment

But I liked it on the side from a visual standpoint!:D Maybe it is already empty and they wrapped it back up, in which case she is probably pretty easy right now!! (Or hung over?) I am not sure what brand that is? So I'd bet you are right! Edited November 12, 2009 by fisch Quote Link to comment

Beau M Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Looks great! Eventually you will run out of other Datsuns and HAVE to do a Z. Quote Link to comment
LAYEDOUTB2K Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 That's awesome! I love the bamboo window screen too. Did you ever see the bamboo tonneau cover I made for my 320? Quote Link to comment
djlotus Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Dude! I got nothing... another great piece. Quote Link to comment
Edz280zx Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Fisch, on a side note...I'm doing all of my work with a mouse...is there an entry level tablet you would recommend? Quote Link to comment
fisch Posted November 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Ed, an all the more impressive reason you are so impressive! I can't draw with a mouse to save my life! Like drawing with a rock! I am actually rocking the wacom intuous 2 still, and only 6x8 in size. I've had bigger ones but because they are scalable, i don't really need any more room and it fits better on the desktop and drops in a lap top bag with ease. For entry level I'd think you could find a used wacom intuous 2 dirt cheap on ebay! What are they on gen 3 or 4 by now? The biggest pain of a tablet is that there is no real 'drag' in you pen nib like you would get with paper. So it is REALLY slippery and hard for me to pull a slick line. Most of my hand drawn lines are shakey. That is fine for painterly passages, but line work, not so much. People put paper on the surface some time to get drag, and that helps some, but wares nibs faster. The most recent tablest might have a better surface though, I am not sure. I have tried the Cintiq and that would be something I'd be interesting in getting for sure. But I have drawn so long on the computer with out my hand in the way it might be weird to go back! You will LOVE a tablet and will kick even more azz! Quote Link to comment
FoxyRoadster Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Every time I see one of your drawings I think of some crazy datto in apost-apocalyptic world. Now that I think about it that would make an awesome DND campaign. *goes to get the dice.* Quote Link to comment

Yeah, I'm sure there would be a learning curve on the tablet..but I think I really need one so I can start putting all these ideas I have on screen...just can't do it with a mouse lol. p.s. I'm still waiting for a Z:D j/k I know you're a hell of alot busier than me:lol: Quote Link to comment

Now that I think about it that would make an awesome DND campaign. *goes to get the dice.* Nice! I did the Beholder art in the Monster Manual for 3rd edition. I also did the cover for the Waterdeep manual. So have the beholder chase your datto around the City of Splendor!! All kidding aside I did do a treatment for a TV show about ratty Datsuns. Alas no bites, yet!! Scott Quote Link to comment

After all the hardest thing is the hand eye separation that happens from drawing on a tablet and looking at the srceen in a different location than your hand. You'd already mastered that with the mouse. I am telling you, you will LOVE it!!! And I so want to do a Z!!! Someday!!! Quote Link to comment
littlejason Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Awesome one fisch! And I agree with everything you said about tablets. I couldn't get used to the cintiq. So I went back to my tiny old wacom. edit: yeah! post 110! haha Quote Link to comment
moparvwfreak Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Fisch... that is BADASS!!!!!!! my wife is loving your work and would love some of your work. but alas no $$s. Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Awesome work Scott!!!! The new intuous boards are supposed to have a near zero touch....so if you want to sketch, you don't have to press down to get it to draw a line. I've done some checking....I want one bad!! :) The NL would pay for a new computer, monitor, wacom board......hhhmmm.... :) Quote Link to comment

I've done some checking....I want one bad!! :) The NL would pay for a new computer, monitor, wacom board......hhhmmm.... :) I remember you saying something about it Mike, but I couldn't remember what it was. Duuuude I say keep the NL and get an older generation wacom! Hell I just found this 9x12 intuous 2 for a little over $100 on ebay, and it is a newer one than mine (I can tell by the casing.) It also has the 4d mouse, which I barely use on mine, but is good to have, especially if you are getting into 3d stuff I think. You don't need 9X12, but if it is there, why not! (Course you will want to check the guys feedback out!) http://cgi.ebay.com/Wacom-Intuous-2-9x12in-Tablet_W0QQitemZ150387290618QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_Software?hash=item2303c7f1fa Thank you guys for the AWESOME feedback!! You guys are my inspiration. And know that I appreciate it!! :) :) :) Quote Link to comment
