CARS: metallic grey, black, metallic red

[Scott Robertson]

Here is a piece I just wrapped up. I did it as a PS demo piece for my class and another piece for my book. Hope you enjoy. It is meant to be a fun wacky car made for kids.

Extremely tight. Your metallic rendering always has the perfect blend of matte and specularity. The design is pretty eye-catching, too. Really great work, Scott.

[al-x]

lovely!

Reminds me a bit of the batmobil

[MindCandyMan]

wow...awesome

[NaTe J]

Whoa thats cool.

How did you make it? Was it done in 3d? It looks like it.

[Jason Manley]

wow!

you wouldnt happen to have a couple of the process jpegs would ya? that piece blows my mind.

[pstraub]

I just don't know how you guys (super realistic) do it. I mean I can paint pretty realistic..but...your insane.

:chug: to that piece

[block]

very nice. shades of the batmobile in the design. I think my ears and eyes would bleed and my head would explode if I tried to render something that realistically. I am not worthy.

[defcombeta]

gaw drop

bloody hell

that amazing

um process jpegs please

:chug:

amazing stuff

Thanks Guys,

I should have snapped some process jpegs. I will on the next one. I'm trying to get these under two hours.

NaTe J,
No 3D, just snapped a picture of a 1/10scale rc car chassis and painted over the top of it in PS.

Here is another. Shiny black this time.
This one ran about 2 1/2 hours to render if you were wondering.

only 2.5 hours? That is inconceivable!

"you keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means" :eek:

[nikia]

wow. I want one of each. they look fast. I like fast. :)


definately would like to see your process. :)

[MGH]

Car made for kids? Man, I must be a big kid then.
Very cool!

[Jane Radstrom]

Holy cow! 2.5 hours.. :hearts:

[al-x]

The reflection of the ground on the latest car... do you paint it or just copy a bit of the ground?

How ever it looks great and always enjoy your posts. Wish I could take some of your classes...

[strych9ine]

Sweet holy crap... process .jpegs would be appreciated on future pics more than you know. Beautiful stuff.

[garg]

[scumworks]

2 1/2 hours! Are you making fun of me. Exellent work.

[Loga4]

WoW!But what to say else?
Excellent work!

[Scott Robertson]

Commander Obvious,
Thanks this one took a bit longer today.

nikia,
Thanks, I took 40 snap shots of this one in progress for my book. I might go back and piece together some step by steps of the others too, but the process was basically the same for each, mostly freehand painting.

MGH,
Yeah, me too.

Velo, al-x,
Thanks, just do a little copy and paste and then a little dodging to fake it. Keeps it quick and works well with loose textures like I'm using. Stay away from checker board ground planes!

strych9ine,
Thanks, I'm working on it.

egerie,
Excellent, thanks.

I.was.ink,
Thanks, this one took almost double that if it makes you feel better.

Android,
Thanks.

thenetbox,
I'm working on it.

scumworks,
Hell no, this one took about five!

Loga4,
Thanks.

Another toy....

Just wish you could place the cars on a realistic road....

[davi]

i never know how to reply to your posts without sounding like a fan boy.

anyways fantastic work scott, very much enjoy seeing your work, though you forgot to show step-images again ;]

[seg65]

i just love your work. i want to draw cars just like u .when is that book comeing out.

[seg65]

and yes i am a FAN BOY!!!!!!!!!!

[gekitsu]

that red one os fantastic! i love that retro porsche-like design.
great use of light "bones", too. i always forget about that...

the crowd demands process jpegs, don't you hear them? :D

[Shadowkiller]

dude thats amazing I love them

[LightBrownboy]

Scott, I was wondering for the next concept art book you guys come out with, will there be more of a step by step procedure or explaination to how the images were created?

Thanks in advance for answering if you get the time.

LBB

[MindCandyMan]

I can't wait for that book to come out!

[behemot5]

how do you paint it???? it's really well done

[Scott Robertson]

Jack Frost,
Real road in the rendering or real-real road? Remeber this guy is only 3" long.

davi,
Thanks, I hestiate to add my step by steps here because I do not have the time to do them the right way. Maybe I can simplify?

seg65,
Thanks, I wish I could say, other projects keep pushing themselves in front of it.

gekitsu,
Thanks, I know, I know, process jpegs....

Shadowkiller,
Thanks.

LightBrownboy,
In fact, yes. We have some special plans for the step by steps from each one of the seven designers doing the bulk of the work for CD2.

MindCandyMan,
Me either!

behemot5,
Such a simple question?

[Killer Napkins]

wow.. u are my idol!

[steve kim]

wow that is groovy stuff scott

you should show us more of your photoshop stuff in viscom2.

steve

[callaides]

Wow, these are stunning. I love that little panel on the back of the red car, is that supposed to be made of some type of carbon fiber/creative material? If not, maybe it should be...:p

Anyways, I am anxiously awaiting your new book (How to Draw Vehicles). Is this newer one different from "How to Draw Car the Hot Wheels Way"?

[Jeano]

good god. it looks like i can reach out and touch these cars.

[Glenn K]

Awesome!! Excellent!! and very cool. Your speed is amazing.

Outstanding work Scott.

[Scott Robertson]

Killer Napkins,
LOL, I think you might want to reconsider....thanks.

chumps,
You should show up to class.

callaides,
Thanks, the area right at the back is a sort of dippled shiny black material. one of my students suggested it was the cover for the parachute. "How to Draw Vehicles" is different than "How to Draw Car the Hot Wheels Way" assuming either of them ever get finished.

Jeano,
Excellent to hear that, thanks.

Glenn K,
Thanks.

[tumbra]

Out standing work Scott. I would expect nothing less compared to your previous work. I always enjoy your work and look forward to seeing it on the forum. You really inspire me to excel in my work. Thx for sharing.

[cre8iv1]

wow.... stunning work...!!!

[Feng]

hey Scott..

these are most excellent.....i really like the design of the red one. I wanna drive it

-feng

[davi]

i just wanted to say after looking at these and then some of your older work; i think your coloring has alot more 'flavor' to it now. Just seems more interesting some how. keep it up scott.
