Heavy on the 3-d

[Artelf2xs]

So, I wanted to impress this new client that is in need of four designs for an up coming event. Gunz & Gearz. They gave me the concepts and upfront cash and let me roll. I wanted to bang something out to get the thing going and of course I knew there would be a lot of changes.

I used a three demential model of a bullet to help match the angle of the car and I love the new three -d layers in photoshop.  Turns out it wa the wrong bullet :-O


No worries, the 3-d built into Illustrator made it quite quick to remedy the problem once they brought me an example of a 6.5 grendal load.


Here is where it's at now.. this will be a duotone,... I use gray scale on all my work and pull the colors out of it.

The gradients, and especially the reflections in the bullet case are really nice.

Thanks.. In the intrest of saving time and money ( I mean they're only tee shirts right )    I used Strata studio and a ray trace three D render engine. the mountains and reflextion where added in Photoshop.

That is soo good its rediculous,..only the "gear" doesn't come up to the same excelence. 

[Denis Kolar]

Awesome.

Just check the placement of 5280 on the bullet. It looks misplaced just a bit. Perspective is off just a tad

And, yes, I would agree with BBB about gear.

I love it that, so cool.But, the perspective of the gear is off and the right front tire of the car would be off the bullet the way it sits right now, alittle off in the front end. the reflections in the caseing are a great touch

[Artelf2xs]

the bullet is off just a little too. the gear needs to be faded back to not distract from the foreground or the text. It is just to help move your eye around the design.

Again.. this is for tee-shirts not the Denver Art Museum... Kidding I really do appreciate critiques... Kinda on a budget,, a lot of what is going on besides totally improper perspective, will be altered with contrast.

I'm not a fan of the smoking exhaust.

I'm also not a fan of using the letter "z" to replace the letter "s".

wicked pissa as we say around here. I thought the gear was missing something, but a second glance told me it was supposed to be in the background, and not distract from other elements. Real nice.

client insist on smoking gattlin gun exhaust... and the z's are due to the only domain they where able to purchase.

It's pretty cool to do it in all grayscale. You can get awesome definition that way.

Everything is so smooth and chromie that I might try using a metal "carved brush metal texture on that gear. While it's a 3rd element and less impacting, it needs broken up a little. This is looking real good. Letter fly.  I say add more smoke (more noticeable ) and let it float out further away from the car a tad.

carved brush metal texture on that gear

not sure I'm visualizing that Dot. ?

Yeah I just got started on the smoke..

[Command-Z]

Wow... I like the bullet a lot. I've never used Illustrator's 3-D tools. That's impressive.

[Artelf2xs]

Scott, I cheated a little and used Strata Studio... $49.00 in the apple apps store. It has an intuitive Illustrator tools interface and imports ai... that did the killer brass reflections. ;-) Fast too, like in seconds!
