Talking SVX custom outline

Hi there!

I would like to share with you little bit of my work: a SVX outline sketch.
It's not finished yet but I hope I'll be able to find some time to retouch the last details.
The plan is to make some promotional materials with it as it is a vector graphic
Hop you like it.

Re: SVX custom outline

Looks great! Just finish the wheels a little and you are good to go.

Proportions are perfect and just enough lines to replicate the shape and contours, while keeping the air feeling. (After more than a third of a century in this field, svxcess knows this stuff...)

What drawing program did you use? Illustrator?

Re: SVX custom outline

Thanks. I've tried to do SVX stock wheels but I'm not fully satisfied with it.


I'm not using Illustrator - before I had a chance to learn it - I have someone to do DTP for me :-) I still use Corel Draw... it's a crap but I got use to it

You should put this on Cafe Press when you are finished. Very nicely done.

Maybe keep the wheels as simple circles, nothing to complicated to detract from the pure form. I am sure you will figure it out.

Re: SVX custom outline

Thanks, really appreciated guys!
I'm still working on it. For now I did rear end and intend to do front design. Maybe then I'll figure out what's with the rims


As for Cafe Press... I plan to make such a design http://plejady.subaru.pl (this Impreza project is also mine) with SVX. I believe it'll fit better for t-shirt then side-view

Really one of the nicest renderings! Superb.

I like the wheels, your treatment is right on, but how about a similar approach emphasizing the holes that the angled "spokes" make in the wheels, instead of the spokes themselves. Just a thought on an already impressive rendering.

Latest project attached:


Perhaps you guys have picture proposal for 3D-like angle of SVX to create t-shirt view? I was thinking about something like this:
BTW - isn't this SVX one of our member car?

Re: SVX custom outline

Nice! I like the one with the wheels that look like the stockers.

The color addition helps bring out the unique beltline the car has. But I really like the idea of the outline being color free. Is there a way to accentuate the beltline a bit more, without color?

This is your baby! Obviously you are very talented... most people are not,... not at all. If I were you I would be proud of what I did and take all these "suggestions of how you should have done it" with a grain of salt... minus the grain of salt, and simply let them do their own!

Please see attachment... my baby!

Again, you did great, very impressive!

Keith
