Art- Datsun 510 streetfighter UPDATE- the Pilot pg.2

[comply]

hey comply, what game is that?

 

The game is called Race07: The WTCC Game. http://www.race-game.org

The car is in the STCC(Swedish Touring Car Championship) expansion though

[sssr20det510]

how much for a print of that 510 it is sick

[goatee]

Pretty sure I'm going to get fired for looking at all your art and such for the past couple HOURS. That would look awesome on tin with raised lettering and such.

[fisch]

Thanks man! My next one will be a NL320!

[freekwonder]

I love it.

 

I'm glad somebody posted Plane Jane. Its what I thought of when I saw this thread. It's local here in Kansas City. I love the work the guy put into it.

 

I say go for it, maybe inspire me to paint mine like a Marine Corps Corsair, go with the Black Sheep squadron.

Has anyone actually painted a car like this yet? I need to paint my extra wagon this week...

[The Dat-side]

Sean: I bet it could be done better with some time well spent. http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=4045086

 

Fische: what are you using for your work? Photoshop? Painter? Brushes and paint?

Ya, I did a test run on an AE86 body and Ill be doing my wagon here soon

Isn't the exhaust on the other side of the engine?

ya, Iv been working out how to run the side pipes functional.

 

I might have to swap sides (like the header pic, its mirrored)

[Jebus2000sl]

The 1600 i just got is free for all when it comes to customization so if you ever feel the want to create a custom paintjob on one ill put it on mine.

Totally! I took some artistic liberties there. (Who knows what is under the hood!)

 

Skib rocked this on a Yota, I look forward to his take on a goon!

 

Dat-side, these are all Photoshop. I use some custom brushes I downloaded from somewhere, can't quite remember. (Gnomon Workshop I think?) I use realworld textures, like rust, goopy paint, tinted watercolor paper and scotch tape. I use a lot of lasso tool and the pentool to make interesting shapes and adjust brightness and contrast of these shapes to help define forms.

 

Of course, if there is one thing I've learned over teh years with P-shop (self taught) is that there really are a million ways to skin a cat. In other words. There are a bunch of ways to achieve the same sort of thing in the program.

 

I've just started playing with Artrage3 for Tron. (Used to be a painter6 user back in the day.) And I must say I am really enjoying the simplicity of that program. And the real world feel to the strokes, etc.

Im aiming to meet the same awesomeness as the drawing :D

 

 

Im going to try and make the exhaust functional :cool: itl be loud and gnarly

[The Dat-side]

Fische: I just started playing with artrage too. It's def more simple than PS, I just got autodesk sketchbook mobile for my iphoneand really want to try the pc version.

 

Everyone: I love the rat rod look, like this and that madmax 240z. Exactly why I like ratsun instead of 'other' datsun sites. Keep up the sick datsuns!

Agreed, the simplicity is what makes Artrage a gem of a program. The 'real' brush simulators are top notch. Some folks might mistake this simplicity for a lesser, entry level, art program, but they'd be wrong. There are things I can do in that program that would take many steps in P-shop. Just flipping a multilayered piece of art is a two drop-down menu process with a huge wait time in P-shop. In artrage, you just hit the letter 'h'. And these micro timesavers add up over a week that is for sure. And the intuitive action of the program keeps your hand flying!

Do you redraw the vehicles every time or do you have some awesome templates for each car?

Too cool! Man I am digging those red letter tires!!!

 

Eld- I haven't drawn the same one twice yet! (Well I did make a unibody pick up out of the 411 goon art.But everything about the art is the same except the back end.)

[Eld67]

I wish I could afford another G5 mouse, but the 20 degree studio + shaky ass arthritis prob wouldn't help much anyways XD

Not to distract you guys from talking nerdy computer art stuff here...hahaha!!!!...but I just wanted to point out that the pipes sticking out of the fender would not really NEED to be exhaust pipes right? I mean what if they were super long velocity stacks? What if they led into the fender and had seperate filter housings inside the engine compartment? What if they were just super long inlet tubes for the single air filter housing? Would that thing make some bad az intake roar or what?

 

Sweet looking rig though Fisch. Seriously a big fan of almost every WWII homage car I have seen so far. I think it is a really neat way to say thanks to all the veterans for their noble sacrifice.

lol thated prob sound pretty rad but it deff wouldnt be a very efficient intake

Has anyone actually painted a car like this yet?

Yes, here's a Bay Area Datsun:

 

[FoxyRoadster]

Not to highjack the thread... but I've noticed most everyone paints their cars like US planes... I've been tinkering with painting mine like a Japanese fighter, though I did find that there is a Mitsu X painted like a Zero.

 

 

I found this scheme I like a lot

 

and thinking that plus this

 

 

Add in a sidepipe and you have yourself quite the Fairlady.

Iv got 3-4 Japanese fighter paint schemes draw up on a Z. Alot of the Japanese fighers are kinda bland and arnt instantly recognizable as a fighter paint like the flying tigers scheme is.
