Batmobile...
I've been working on a flyer for the legendary rockabillyband Batmobile. After a long period of brainstorming I decided to, ...brace yourselves... draw a...
Batmobile... ;-)


^
Not a finished sketch, because...

I realised I was just rehashing stuff I did a long time ago... First of all, I've done a Batmobile before... Well, that is... I did a CATmobile before:


^ Catmobile 2003(?) Acrylics on board.

The resemblance is obvious... BUT, it wasn't this painting why it bothered me. It was a goauche I made for myself. And a few years back I already gave that one a make-over. I turned the 'Kitty' into a librarian for a rock'n'roll-poster...


^ Hotrod Kitty turned into Hotrod librarian...

The Library as client meant a really tight budget so I re-used the Daf as an illustration for the poster. Sometimes, commishioned work is so much fun when there's not much money involved. It gave me a lot of freedom and input from others to realize my follow-up ideas...


^ The shirts for the library-event and a neutral sell-able version. That one was sold as a package with the papermodelkit I designed.







...but for the Batmobile.. I guess it's back to the drawing board...

Happy posting guys and have a nice weekend.

 

Phred your artwork is insane...i love that pirate block, sorry had to borrow it as my desktop background

 

Wow, people say it all the time, but there really is some fantastic work posted already this week!

Someone posted a photo of this truck several weeks ago. Here's my version, drawn with CorelDraw and colored with Photoshop:

 

Great stuff as usual Herr Rudolf amazing stuff.


Here is a classsic pic that I redid for Autorama

 

Amazing tins Robin and Phred just freakin awesome

 

Wow! Next week, I'm staying up till midnight just so I can be on the first page...hehehe. Seriously though, I'm inspired each week by what I see here. You guys are talented! Particularly the pen, pencil and paintbrush guys. I can't draw water, much less an image. But that being said, I'm posting two images this week that I'm particularly proud of. Not because they are good, but because I created the background from scratch with PS patterns and brushes, rather than using another photo. I would appreciate any comments.

 

A stock 1911 Ford Model T Torpedo Roadster, and an early Hot Rod - Fronty Ford Speedster with Buffalo wire wheels.

 

My contribution ...

 

Great show everyone.
Phred, your stuff is just great.

Some day I'll get to join in again, but when?

For now tho...

 

Awesome show!

I haven't had much of a chance to finish anything in the last week with the holidays. While others were watching the games, I was busting my ass from Detroit to Wichita Falls TX to get my Sport Coupe body. Here are a few snaps I took while the sun was shinning:























It was a marathon drive leaving after thanksgiving dinner, straight through the night, arriving in the morning in Moore OK for a tattoo session with fellow Road Devil (to be) Reverend Jimmy Vegas then back in the truck to meet with the rest of Tornado Alleys finest Road Devils. Drink 'til you pass out. Wake up and shove the 29 body in the back of the '05 F-150 and do the boot scoot back to where the tin came from, arriving as the sun comes up on Sunday morning.

 

Hey, hi gabo!
