Car Art

[greentouring]

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to do this on here, but sure it will be removed and apologies if I'm breaking any forum rules.

As I've mentioned before, I'm an artist and am able to create car portraits. So anyone can feel free to contact me for a no obligation quote.

You can see my website, although there are no cars on there at present. If anyone has a reference photo of their BMW that I can use to draw and then show as an example of my work on my website, please feel free to drop me a line.

Thanks

Oooooow, tempting!

[maxfield]

You can draw my dads M3 and i'd pay for the copy of it?

[greentouring]

Sure Maxfield, if you're interested send me a PM with the details. No problem.

[tezk]

Do you have standard rates? I've been looking for something different to hang on the walls..

[Rosc0PColtrane]

Just posted some great pics in the Meets Pictures and Vids, Southwest Meet. May be of use.

[greentouring]

Tezk: I have sent you a PM.
BA: Thanks I will take a look.

[Alyman]

Looking forward to seeing your work!

I mostly dabble with digital art, but from time to time I put paint to canvas. I'm not skilled enough with the brushes to go for photographic quality so I limit myself to a few colours and go for the "pop art" look.

Here's one I did of an E30 just using red black n white:



Don't have the talent or the time for doing commissions myself though, good luck to you mate - get some examples of your work up

[greentouring]

Great work, Alyman! I've always enjoyed pop art and that would look great a plain white wall.

You can see some of my work by hitting the 'www' button at the bottom of my post. No cars, but mainly WW2 aircraft as that's my speciality. However, Maxfield has kindly given me a photo of his dad's car which I will draw and then post a copy of on here for you all to see.

Thanks for the interest.

That is absolutely fantastic. Is it the sort of thing that could be put into print, giving you control over which 3 colour you use?

[Alyman]

Just had a look over your site greentouring, fantasic stuff there, very atmospheric. I'd love to see your take on an E30 taking a high speed corner in the driving rain, maybe at about twilight with the headlights on! I think it would give the same sense of speed that your aircraft paintings have.

Blatant, I'm not sure about the whole printing thing, I imagine it could be done though... It would defo be easy enough to use photoshop to change the photo of the painting so that you could see what it would look like in different colours.

Some great stuff on your site, I'll send you a pm shortly with something I'd like you to look at for me.

I'm going to pop this into the groupbuy section too.

[greentouring]

Thanks for the kind words guys. I have begun an E30 drawing today; will post it for you to see when it's complete.

[maxfield]

[greentouring]

Still a lot to do, and have many tweaks to carry out, such as the back alloy needing more detailing. I've used artistic license with my lighting effects to give it some extra aggression.

More soon...............

[maxfield]

That looks awesome dude

[d6dph]

Looking fantastic so far, Sorry I haven't got round to replying to your pm's.

Will definitely get you to do one of mine when funds allow.

[greentouring]

No problem, Dave. Contact me when you're ready and I'm sure we can work out a good deal. ;)

[greentouring]

Maxfield, just a quick question. Does this M3 have drilled brake discs? Put in 9 hours so far, so expect to see the finished art tomorrow. It's gonna be a longgggggggg night..lol

[maxfield]

Sure does dude:



Once again thanks alot

[greentouring]

Here you go, Maxfield: one M3 E30.

Thanks for the ref photo, buddy. I'll email you a high res copy if you're interested. It won't have my inintials on it, so you'll be able to print it out.

[maxfield]

PM sent.

Thanks alot buddy

[greentouring]

Just sent you a high res copy as a thank you. Cheers, bud!

[maxfield]

Looks awesome mate!

Very pleased!

Hope the exhibition goes well

[greentouring]

I don't know if this would be of interest to anyone, but I realise original art is sometimes not an option when we all have the everyday bills and E30 parts to buy.....

However, I was wondering if prints would be of interest to any one? I need a min order of 3 to cover costs, but could produce an agreed image of an E30, and then offer them to you for:

9.99 GBP unmounted
14.99 GBP mounted

Both prices are + P&P of course.

Obviously an individual's car would be only of interest to them, so that would be more expensive as only one copy could be sold.

I will offer a one time only special offer to Zone members for one week only:

I will draw your E30 in graphite, approx A4 size, for 50.00 GBP +P&P. It would come with a certificate of authenticity and also be mounted, so ready for framing. As I normally charge 95.00 GBP for this + P&P, this is a genuine bargain!

[Gravy]

I love your work mate - and personally I think that you normal selling price is still a bargain - if I ever got my touring looking how I want it to then I would love to commission you to draw it up so I would have it forever, even if I ended up actually selling the car!

Good stuff, hope you get a good response!

[greentouring]

Thanks mate, appreciate the kind words.

[riklusby]

Really outstanding work mate, unfortunately my car isnt finished yet either but when she is ill be looking to get a drawing from you as well

[greentouring]

Cool, look forward to it. Never drawn a Touring before!

[SHAKEELE30]

Love your drawings, some crazy work there, but in the same position as the others above, cars not how i would like it to be for the drawing so once its done ill let you know...

[greentouring]

Cool, no problem, I'll be here.

Funnily enough I want to draw my Tourer, but am also in the same position as you guys; it's far from finished.
