Is the Speed Determinatrotron "47" marking due to it being a prime number or a mash-up of H2G2 and Clerks (NSFW warning) references to 42 and 37?

Any significance to the 700 and 88k markings?


"Plaid" is probably too far off-topic, but still fun.   ;D

I was able to finish up the vectorization of Gurl today. I also threw on  a Spiff name. All of the pieces are just slapped together at this point.

I haven't finished or worked too much on the landscape. It seemed that many of the worlds have a purple color to the landscape, so I updated it with that color scheme.

Is any of this what you desire? If it is, I'd need to know the overall size of the marquee and what color schemes you like or don't to continue on.

The vectorization of the wrinkles on Gurl made me procrastinate on it since they were so tedious. Hopefully other aliens aren't so tedious.  :P

I'll be out of town for the next week, so I won't get a chance to touch this until I get back.

Hope you like what you see thus far.

I love that control panel Le Chuck made. Lots of hidden things. Very cool.

Maverick,

Both you and Le Chuck have done amazing work.  If you could send me a copy of the artwork I'll show you what was going through my mind.  Again amazing work!   :applaud:

Here's an illustrator file for you to work with. I weeded out all the extra junk I had in the file and just left the elements you see above. I had to recombine some things, so color and size may be different than the previous pic.

I was thinking about using this metal texture for the sides and putting a texturized map underneath of it to give it the riveted worn look.  I'm afraid I will stray away from the Watterson feel.  Any suggestions?

So they are putting out a Calvin and Hobbes documentary in November.  Something tells me I need to continue on with the theme for my cab.  I'm starting to feel like Kevin Costner in Field Of Dreams. 



If you build it, he will sue.    ;D
