wow this is awesome. I have seen some photos of the real life sharpy car. And you have done an amazing job here. Must have took a long time to get this done so clean.

I'm glad you've got this one off the bench, too - so I can enjoy it!cool.gifsmile.gif I have no idea how the graphics compare to the original and frankly I couldn't care less whether it's a replica or your own original (in fact I'd prefer if it's your own, I think). A beautifully executed concept and the graphics are a super design. They suit the shape and lines of the car perfectly. Two thumbs up!113-vi.gif

Question: Given how intricate the design is did you draw it directly on the plastic with a Sharpie? And if so, is it essentially freehand or did you work from prior art?

Added later: Just went and looked at the 1:1 again. Your art is your own - and it's great!113-vi.gif

wow, thanks, the car is actually a diecast and the ink was actually writers ink. i have a real sharpie drawn one and has proven problematic when it comes to sealing it so started over. i did it all free hand its more fun that way.

I guess you could only do it Free Hand.

What Control..

Great work.

must've been hard not to smuch up an area during handling it

during the process.

I think this is the coolest car I've seen in some time.

It has a Joe Satriani vibe going on which I dig. Satch is a Lamborghini fan I think.

As an artist, I have tremendous admiration for your patience in doing this.
