Paymaster - Custom GOCC cash set (1 Viewer)

[Mr Tree]

More artwork fees then.

^this could be a consideration.

Going with a real artist might cost me $$$$$.

Not sure I mocking multiple cars will drive that up even further

 

[kirchhausen]

How about something like this, different body style, still relatively same era.

 

[courage]

Show artist your avatar, imply you can arrange meeting upon successful completion of work.

jeesh. rookies.

I do like the aggression of the look

 

[Mr Tree]

So I met with the artist tonight and am now extremely hopeful again. Beginning to feel a bit manic on this project lol.

Ian is the artist who made the painting I am raffling at S@P.



I sent him an email as a Hail Mary just to see if he might possibly have graphics art skills. As it turns out it's one of his major sources of income. And also to go even further classic cars are a subject matter he paints on. As a matter of fact in his basement I snapped the following which were all painted by him

To be honest using him is like swatting a gnat with a bazooka. He is way more skilled than what we will be able to convey on a standard size poker chip. But I am very confident he can do this project.

Or potentially a 1963 Ford Mustang?

Unless they made track models before the production ones, earliest Mustangs were 1964/1965.

 

[stocky]

This?

Mind if I have a go at this just for 'practice'? I have Illustrator, and although primarily I use Photoshop, converting photos to vector images it pretty straightforward.

I'm not saying I can do anything of any use for you, just more to use the pictures you've posted to practice on.

If you want to practice of course you can try using any of the photos.

For me personally, I'd want the villain car(s) to be historically accurate. There should be several candidates in his 1964 era race class that would be suitable. Contact NHRA for historical details if necessary.

I think I'm going to take some liberties here. The most accurate cars look almost identical to his. (Ford Lightweight for example) In the interest of the look I'm willing to go a little offline here. I'm leaning heavily towards the 1963 Mustang prototype.

I'll have a go over the weekend. Are you just looking for a graphical representation of the photo? Do you have examples of what you want the image to look like?

I'm using the photos as an example of the shots I want but then I am transplanting my father's car into it. So it takes a deft hand. FYI I have a guy on it now who is a top notch artist. So most likely you wouldn't be able to top what he probably will do. But if you want to practice please feel free to take a stab.

 

[Mr Tree]

Some initial sketches from Ian, don't worry Courage starter girl is still to come.

 

[Mr Tree]

The rest of the sketches from Ian. The next step (if no changes are needed) is to have him do a finished version of these in vector format. The final product will look more like this than the hand sketches we have right now.

 

[72o]

Wow...looks like you found your artist. Looks pretty sweet.

 

[bivey]

 

[Mr Tree]

Mock ups! This is based on the rough drafts. The final cars will be much more polished

 

[jbutler]

Fuck those are awesome.

Bottom left and top middle are both excellent.

 

[Mr Tree]

I'm in the patented J5 mix and match mode. There are different elements on different chips I love. I'm really completely unsure which version of the denomination is my favorite

 

[links_slayer]

whooooooooo doggie! so glad to see progress being made!

 

[Chippy McChiperson]

Holy crap Tom these look awesome

 

[links_slayer]

bottom middle is so badass, btw.

 

[BGinGA]

i hate to repeat others, but those are freakin' awesome.

 

[bergs]

I like elements of the right and middle together. The left is too busy with the stripe, it distracts from the art. Really looking good for these, can't wait to see em

 

[bivey]

Has anyone mentioned these look really awesome?

 

[courage]

Wow, these are going to be so sweet.

 

[Mr Tree]

There are a lot of elements here so I am definitely soliciting feedback.

First the paymaster wording. I want it in some type of chrome. It's actually a mock of the Plymouth font from the 1960's.



It's subtle but if you look from chip to chip John tries to emulate the chrome in different ways. I think my favorite is the version of it in the upper left chip with the sparkles on it.

The denomination. I'm really not sure which way to go here. You have the white dots with black lettering which is emulating a racing number from a car. The yellow denom on the upper middle is a nice change of pace though. Then there is also the chrome version on the lower right but I worry about over chrome.

The two chips on the left mimic my initial drawing I sent to john including racing stripes. However the more I look at these the more I gravitate from them towards the different color gradient backgrounds on the other chips. I think I'm leaning towards the background in the upper middle being my favorite but something appeals to me about the checkered flag background in the upper right.

Also since there will be a seperate scene on each chip there is nothing saying the format has to be exactly identical on each chip. I feel like moving elements around to frame the art better could make sense. Here is another one John did as an example.

 

[k9dr]

I like the denom in the dot. I also like different gradient backgrounds for each chip. The checkered flag is one of my favorites.
