Awesome.

just one crit: Looking at the front, one side has the small headlight sticking out, while it seems to be "built in" on the other side. This makes the side closest to the viewer seem convex, and the other concave. Were you going for this?

PS: When can I buy one?

oh yeah, you're right...whoops! that's an outright mistake. i should pay attention more when i'm drawing...or drink more coffee.

My crit: I hate how good you are at this stuff.

one question...how do you highlight the shiny areas after using marker? good job by the way, very nice.

one more thing...i noticed that the hood of the vehicle, all the way up to the windshield on the furthest side seem to be too high at that angle. maybe using a black marker could trim it down a bit. cool though. keep it up

it's like a cover from akira toriyama!

Spinefinger, these concept pieces are outrageously good. Please continue to post!

Could you post the line art to this one like you did with your robot?

Did you do the perspective freehand on this one also?

Keep up the great work!

hey very cool drawing, i was just wondering do you do any touchups on it in photoshop. I just started to learn using markers and theres certain things i see in ur picture that i dunno how to do yet.

hi folks...

surferboi - as far as photoshop touch-up, i usually adjust the contrast/brightness on my pictures.

mellowsmoothe - for the white highlights, i use milky gel rollers. the cool thing about them is that while the ink is still wet, you can smugdge them to soften the highlight. sometimes for the softer highlights i use a white prismacolor pencil, then go over it with a milky gel for the hard point highlight. i'm sure most of you have seen these, here's a link in case you don't know what i'm talking about...also, yeah, the perspective is kinda messed up on this, i know. just wanted to post it anyway...

I love these drawings and your design style.
My only tiny crit would be about the mess outside the lines on some places. Better clean it up so doesn't bother picky people like me.

Heheh... sort of "5th Element" meets "Gall Force." Very cool.

I really like your style and the details you put into your pictures...but I would like to comment on something.
I don't know how much time you spent on this one and I'm guessing it's freehand perspective but perspective is what's keeping you back in this one. Don't get me wrong, I like the pic, but it's the thing preventing it from beeing a kickass-pic.
I hope to see more from you in the future.

That is some serious ass-kickage. I just started using Prismacolors, there nice, but Im still experimenting pretty much. I noticed that your value range is pretty broad for markers, do you have like every color? Or can you somehow make one color darker or lighter? Maybe I am just dumb
