So Joe, I hope you plan to submit one of your own? We've come to expect great stuff from you, so dazzle us with your design

Bob that is hilarious!

LOL Jill... You know how some times you just get into one of those creative mind sets??? I already know I'm going to hell so I might as well drive there in style

Ok this S#$%T is addictive. Hard to stop. I found a few more tricks to tweak it with. Subtle things but cool stuff.

My little race car...

I've got another one being built that resembles an asphalt modified

If I could afford a full size operation...

This is one I did a few weeks ago. Really don't try to go after this market. That's assuming there is a "market" for it, because that would imply you would be making money on it!

Here's an 1/18 scale Late model I did recently.....

Ok I got to learn a few new tricks on this task using CorelDraw X5. All vector work from the ground up. I can see how you can really go deep with the details on a project like this. It was a fun learning exercise.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but...

I use corel ALOT. Attached is a small image of a timeline I created. It only covers up to 2006 as I havent had a chance to update it recently. But these are all 'templates' I created (Some are actual designs though)
The idea was to track how each car got better in appearance and detail. Partly due to skill, newer software, and sexier chassis developments over the years.

Also, I have a tutorial on how I use layering to develop my car illustrations. Its rough, but you get the idea. it's at http://www.deviantart.com/download/30146843/vector_tutorial.jpg
This was all back when i was self employed/freelancing design. Though I still do similar work, and use these for sponsor renderings or illustrations with many of our clients.

Some awesome renderings there RobbyMac! Are you still doing this kind of work? Great tutorial btw...

 

[ForgeInc]
