Title: Johnson's Kids Shirt
Post by: Command-Z on July 22, 2011, 02:05:06 PM
Something I just got approved... a little different 'toony style than what I normally do. Very fun project!

I'll be getting a shirt when it's printed and I'll post it here.

8 colors on white, (sepped for 9 colors for future prints on darks).

Sepping to 9 colors for future prints is a great idea!

Wicked nice, as usual. Do I sense a little Lemorris' inspiration there?

The relatively flattened background elements adds emphasis to the car and shop name. Keeps it from being too busy. Great work as usual.  Thanks for posting.

Thanks for the comments everyone!

Yes, I always sep for all colors, even if the initial order is for white, you'll get a base!

Steve, haha yes I love Lemorris! I WISH this style would come so easy to me as it does him. I was trying to channel the late, great Dave Deal as well. It's fun to let loose with the toon style.

Those doggies are "Westies" by the way. The owner of the rod shop has that kind of dog and they were requested.

Conny-sewers of Car-toons, will point out that while Command takes liberties with the usual rigidity of steel in this example, he still maintains relatively normal proportions as opposed to Lemorris's Car-icature style which emphasizes exaggeration.

btw I noticed your rat rod on the main page of Andy's retail site. That's an honor.

Nice work man, looks a bit clean though, if I may be so bold to crit, but that's gonna win you praise with customer and target audience.
So, in case you haven't figured, I dig it. I like all your work.
I still think you should get loaded sometime while you're in a drawing mood though.
 ;D
Cheers.

Thanks Chad!

I know what you mean... it looks clean from way back there, especially since my inking is usually done in Illustrator for geometrics... but here's a closer look at the painting. I like brush strokes!

Is that no anti aliasing at 300 or 600 dpi?

No anti-aliasing @ 300ppi.

Soft edge brushes for the gradients, hard-edged for the detail and smaller areas.

Final art is 9.5" wide.

You know, for kids.

I haven't been here in a bit.  I saw this elsewhere and loved it.  I re-loved it today...that's double loved.

Great piece.  I appreciate the comparison, but I'm not even in the same room with this guy.

Big fan Scott...3 times love it.

Such modesty. If you're not in the same room, then you're across the hall.

You know how it is....the tires are always drawn better on the other side of the fence.  :)

I really like the brush work in this piece too.  It's just awesome.

I had a guy I worked with who was known for having a temper. He I'd a great guy but a tad "over the top" with his temper. At work, he loved to play ( pick on) this new character artist. Often aging practical jokes on him. One day, the new guy decided to get hi
 Back. He super glued his drawing pencil to his art desk.

The guy came back to start drawing. Everyone listened for what everyone knew was about to happen. You see, this artist could pick on the new guy but he couldn't take it. He SCREAMED!  Who the -blank-did this!  I wanna know who did this!  This is my work station! This is my office!  This is my desk and you don't mess with mans desk!! I wanna know right now!  All the while screaming this in anger.

Nobody ever claimed to know. They were afraid that he would Stab them in the neck with that pencil for even knowing about it.

Fun times.


Scott,
That's one of the sweetest jobs I've seen in your pottfolio. I still like your stipple work most. You would have been a master stippler back in the day.
