The Legend of the Lost Game

Maybe you'll remember some old 8 bit games for the Nintendo entertainment system ? 

Well this artwork is inspired upon the boxart of the classic videogame "Digger T Rock" a videogame I used to play a lot in my younger years. 

This design was the first time I started using an A3 size paper so it was possible to put a lot more details in the lineart. Instead of scanning I now take a picture from the finished drawing.  To create the stone and marble look I used different brushes and smudge techniques. For better printing results and a smaller filesize I used a posterize filter. As always I used the open source alternatives for photoshop,  Gimp and Inkscape to add colors.  

Here is the boxart where this drawing is inspired upon. 

And here are some pictures from the work in progress:

Hope you enjoyed this blog and have a great day.

Customized Vintage van

This design is inspired upon the customized vans from the 60's and 70's. The era when customising was easy and a lot of weird and wonderful custom cars and vans where built.  The design is available in my premium shops in 4 different versions. There is a red, a blue, a transparent and a transparent just the van version.  

As usually the design is drawn by hand and finished digital.  And halftones are used to get that retro comic book look.  

I hope you'll like it and as always feel free to leave a suggestion or comment.  

Have a great day and until next time.

A collection of American classic cars

This design is inspired upon multiple classic American cars.  Some you'll recognise from movies like American Graffiti or Smokey and the Bandit others are classic cars that probably everyone will remember.  The different cars are framed within roads and halftones are used for a vintge look and to ensure the best print results. 

I hope you'll like it.  And as usually feel free to leave a suggestion or comment.  Have a good day and until next time.

The Legendary Initial D

This design is based upon the Japanese cult car Intial D aka Toyota Trueno or AE86.

 

As you can see in the close up I used halftones for shading. The points are a little bit closer than previous designs. Of course it's available without Japanese characters. 

I have chosen this car because it's one of the last light weight rear wheel driven with short wheelbase coupe from Toyota and a real 80's iconic car. 

Until next time.

Greetings Andres
