well what do you guys think? i photoshoped my car.... basically i drew my car on photo shop and colored it... computer art... what do you guys think? ok ok i was bored...but i was thinking about making a T-Shirt...

 

wow, looks pretty cool... looks like it should be a car in automodellista on ps2!

 

Looks really good. I'm going to need you to make one of my car, please?

-Thach

 

dude that is awesome. IT LOOKS REALLY F-KING COOL!!!! can u make one for my car too when u have time?? i am guessing u still have some pix of my car?

u should make one for the rear view of your car too! and then print that at the back of your t-shirt. it will look cool

 

isnt that just a picture of your car being filtered through one of adobes filters with a black outline?

 

no filter...looked around on the adobe filter but nothing was like this...

 

That's too cool, Brabus. I'd wear a t-shirt like that with pride! Heck, I'll even use it as wallpaper (I hope you don't mind!)

 

Done. It is now my wallpaper.

 

haha... cool... does anyone think people would pay to have their car done? and if so how much do you think people would pay... cuz i have 2 months off school for a little bit and this is something i would like to do... tell me what you guys think

 

I'll give you $5 each...and I want 2 cars done....
I know the cartoons sell around $10 and the come printed...

Dude I would pay too! Imagine wearing your OWN car around on a T-shirt! That is BAD ***! Do it the way Vlix said about the rear of the car being the back of the shirt though.

 

Make it cheap and hi res. I recommend offer package deals (I dunno like $8/9 per pic, 2 pics for $15, etc). I dunno how long it will take you do each but let us know as i'm interested in this (can you do 1600x1200?)

 

the original picture is at 1600 x 1200 i reduced it for the forum post.... i can make it any resolution without distorting the picture because its hand drawn lines and colored individually.... normally it takes around 5 hours or so for a car...

 

Brabus, I posted a link to this thread on the off-topic forum. Maybe you'll get more business.

 

sorry if it does take like 5 hrs then i guess u'd probably want like $35 a pic. Although i dont know how many ppl will be really up for that much for a digital pic (dont get me wrong i do sketches from time to time and somewhat of a competent drawer so I know you would want to be rewarded properly). Good luck with your decision, u did inspire me to try out a bit of photoshop for my car as well. Although mine is black so i think the lines will be a bit harder to see.

*I work in IT so we have access to various software (photoshop, jasc paintshop, illustrator, etc) I'm gonna go online and research on cell-shading plug'ins. I think original pic is very important as u want it as clean and least background noise as possible. Get pic with good lighting too. Will let you guys know how it work out. May still need some manual (i mean digital) airpbrushing and touch-up of course.

 

Looks really nice. Did you draw that using a tablet, or did you simply run a filter on your image to find the edges?

Also, it should be '03 not 03' ... you're abbreviating the "20" in "2003".

 

yea messed up on that part i did not use a filter to find the edges.... just looked really carfully and drew that way...
Tberry: yea im timing myself on this next one im doing right now to get the exact time... i did the first on over a period of 2-3 days when i had free time from studying... took up around 5 hours since it was my first shot at trying this.. and yes i do agree that $35 is alot i was thinking around $20- 25 maybe with a CD with a High Res on it to give also...so you can print out and do what you wish....
Nola: thanks for the link

 

It would be best to do all of the work in a vector based format like Adobe Illustrator or Macromedia Freehand. Then the image won't be tied to a specific resolution. So if I want it scaled to fit on the side of a skyscraper I can without any loss in quality.

Cell shading is the hottest thing these days. Mostly appearing in games that render 3D on the fly. Robotech for PS2 and the quake 3 for PC are good examples.

 

Cell shading is actually ridiculously difficult to calculate in realtime. Every video game that uses it always blows my mind.

 

i dont think quake 3 uses cell shading. some of really good games that uses the tech is jet set radio (on DC then xbox, one of first to do so ever), then for driving automodellista on PS2 (looks incredible). there is 1st person shooter with cell shading coming out, and of course zelda on game cube. i dont think i'm gonna get as good of details as Brabus C but gonna try some filters this weekend. please post what filters seem to work best for you guys as well on this thread. thanks.

 

Niiice job!

 

hey that came out really good!

 

Here's photoshopped art. The outlining would have stood out better on a light colored car.

 

u know the c coupe never really look flattering from the direct side view no matter what body kit u got or not. oh well....

 

Not even this???
