New version "no Scooby Doo fanart"

New version of the "no scooby doo fanart" design. Optimized the colours for the best possible printing quality. 

Used a hard brush for shading what gives it a more comic look, and some parts the shading is done with halftones. Really happy about the result and definitely using this technique in the future.

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.

Vintage Trabi

One of my followers suggested to make a design of the Trabi 601, so I did. This little car was built in East Germany and not many Trabants where sold outside East Germany.

The car has a unique structure, it's a monocoque chassis with plastic body panel parts. A small two stroke engine in the front driving the front wheels. And two transverse leaf springs. 

I choose the colour green because thanks to the two stroke engine this car is anything but "green" πŸ˜‰. As always the design is available with or without text. 

Have a great day and until next time.

Shop is open again !!

Or should I say the shops are open again 😁. After almost a month I put most of my designs back online. Hoping that this hold on sale helped other artists sell more, to bad there weren't more hobby artist that followed my example πŸ˜•. 
Anyway this hold also give me some time to reconsider how I continue my shops. Starting with a new fresh banner that is completely drawn from scratch. Added a new design with a unicorn in a magical flying van. Gave the "no scooby doo fanart" new colours. And finally removed a couple of designs that aren't suitable for the new direction, choose quality over quantity. 
Although I do this for the fun, I decided to take the direction of car fanart with an occasional weird or more complex design in the mix. I hope you like it. To visit one of my shops click a link on the link page on my blog. 

By the way: if you want a certain design back in my shops don't hesitate to shoot a me a message πŸ˜‰.

Until next time, stay safe and healthy.

All designs deactivated

Just this week I decided to deactivate all my designs. For the simple reason that I don't want to compete with other artists that are going to a difficult period because their sales have dropped dramatically because of the corona crisis. It's a small gesture but maybe it makes a little bit of a different to another artist.

At this moment the plan is to wait until the end of April, by then I hope this is all under control. In the meantime I can re-evaluate my current designs and focus on other things. 

Stay safe and healthy.

Until next time.
