Tooned/Vectored Cars + Stuff

[Revheadnz]

Cleaned up the outlines a bit, fixed bad joins. WIP obviously.



Once again comments and criticism appreciated.

@ Skip: What method do you use for colouring your toon cars? I'm unsure where to start. Thanks

Looks good, I either select areas to color by (1) reoutlining them witht he path tool and choosing the "Create Selection From Path" button, or (2) using the magic wand with threshold at 0, "select trasparent areas" checked and then going to menu item Selection->Grow and then growing the selection by 1px. Then you can use the paint bucket tool. Shading areas can be done with the gradient tool.

Thanks Skip. While I was waiting this morning I started a Lexus IS300. I'll post WIPs of that later.

Youll never top that swanky drift ride, Zoxxy!!

Awww, hell! Feck, atleast I'm gonna try !!

 

[Revheadnz]

My Lexus IS300.



Once more, C&C welcome. I see a few spots that could be worked on but its not that bad.

 

[donbenni]

Better than the RX, but aren't you going to colour either of them. We've had loads of people that come here and just do the outlines, it would be nice to see soem shading

I started the IS300 before I knew how to shade just to fill in some time. I have started shading the RX-7.

Edit:

Just filling with the bucket at the moment, I am still experimenting with gradients without much success.

 

[donbenni]

You're using the magic wand to select areas aren't you?

It looks pretty messy. Sorry to be harsh, but you really need to take the time and draw around all of the areas you want shaded.

 

[AutoTooned]

Its as easy as >fill path.

After all I've been working on something new, a Fabulous styled W140. Played a few hours with this and so far it's just part of the outlining done. As donb. said there are many outline projects here that never end up in finished toons.. We'll se if that's the case for me, right now I have extremely much to do in school. Excpect slow progress.

And in case you wonder about the slightly bent lines in the bottom part of the rear door, it's supposed to be that way.

 

[Mista Bob]

Those wheels are pure secks.


Made some progress on my GT2..

I have been playing around with gradiants on this one.
Just have the wheels, front bumper and lights to do, than I'm done with all the lines.

 

[AutoTooned]

Veilside Golt Dish rims, Mista Bob. One of my favorite wheel packages.

GTJ, there is a big spocom style movement in Japan with that vehicle, and it already has one of the more popular wheel packages on it, so why not exploit that? Create some crazy graphics for it, a bright color paint, and a 2 tone or chrome color wheel? You can do some wild things with what youre working on.

 

[Mista Bob]

I dont know if anyone here has done this or not but... got a little question.

What would you suggest for changing the wheels on the reference picture of the car, so you can vector those instead of the stock ones. I have no idea how I would go on about doing this.

 

[AutoTooned]

Its easy, really. Just find a picture with the wheels that you want, trace them, and then simply paste your paths to your original work. And you can modify the shapes and lines no problem from there, if its necessary.

 

[Mista Bob]

Hmm, so it would be possible to make the wheels match the angle that the car is at in the picture even if the picture of the wheels are not?

 

[AutoTooned]

Its not hard to find a matching wheels angle when the majority of people use the same angle shot for vector cars anyway. Just as long as the rear wheel/s are proportionate, the fronts can be whatever. Why? They turn.

GO GTJugend!!! Thanks for choosing one of my fave' FABULOUS luxury sedans.

Yeah, the wheels looks very nice also on the original.. How's it going with your GT2? Like it very much so far, what color will it be?

GTJ, there is a big spocom style movement in Japan with that vehicle, and it already has one of the more popular wheel packages on it, so why not exploit that?

Never heard of 'spocom', Initial. Just found this donorpic on fabulous website and fell in love with it. Got any links to pictures? I'd gladly put some action into the paint since it is all black on the donor, I could use all inspiration you can give.
[edit] looked it up on google and it seems you're talking about regular f&f styling? Dunno about that, it'll probably be black or mabye dark red.

Knew you'd like it. , I think it was through one of your links I got familiar with Fabulous, and the W140 is always badass.

 

[suzq044]

finally started working on that second view of the hotrod

 

[AutoTooned]

GTJ, no. Lol. Craig Leiberman and his low IQ view at auto styling is atrocious.
Spocom is basically cars done to an excessive degree of color and style. Generally, all Formula D/D1 team cars you see are Spocom. Take The bright green Kazama cars for example. Or if you want an art reference, my recent Mustang.

 

[zoxxy]

Yes another NotToBeFinishedWorkInProgress (NTBFWIP) by the and only, zoxxy !

@ GTJugend: Keep up the work with the pimpmobile ! xD

 

[suzq044]

another one i'm working on, while i'm on breaks in class.. clickable:

 

[VIPFREAK]

Nice is that from an actual car or is it one you made up? If it's made up I have more respect for you then. 👍

 

[suzq044]

fine, don't have respect for me.

 

[toyomatt84]

Good to hear. Please don't make this one you don't finish.

 

[suzq044]

almost done...clicky thumbnail.

 

[CDailey]

zoxxy!!! You should finish that piece!! It's looking awesome.

looking good suz. what car is that?

 

[VIPFREAK]

fine, don't have respect for me.

I didn't say I didn't respect you it's just that if you can do a tooned car from scratch compaired to what everyone here is doing then I'll have a whole hell of a lot more respect for you because it's a hell of a lot harder to do one from scratch than existing.

👍

 

[suzq044]

very true.. sorry i misunderstood.. .. here's the final version.

 

[suzq044]

my attempt at grand-theft-auto style..
