Another update

@midway: It's a 3D studio mockup. There is (not yet) a real cab with the Treasurehunt design. I added that one as an example of what a original themed cab could look like.

Holy crap!!!! I'm off the boards a couple of weeks and POW! Look at that! WOW. Unbeleivable work yet again Felsir.

tommy · « **Reply #43 on:** July 09, 2005, 04:35:52 am »

That looks excellent Felsir, sweet work, maybe i could get a custom NFL BLITZ marquee made by you?

Felsir · « **Reply #44 on:** July 12, 2005, 07:10:20 am »

Another update. The grille was a horror-story, the original picture it resembled more like a mess of pixels and the bars were not equally aligned. In itself this doesn't have to be a problem however in the vectorised version it looked weird. I spend some time tweaking and here is the result. Hope it turned out okay.
Oh and don't worry - once the outlines are completed the leg will look much better

Hey Pixelhugger, good to have you back on (the) board

AmericanDemon · « **Reply #45 on:** July 12, 2005, 01:52:08 pm »

Its looking stellar Felsir. The grill looks good. Good job there, I know it was a pain in the rear. Its gonna be some smoking artwork when all said and done.

ChadTower · « **Reply #46 on:** July 15, 2005, 04:46:12 pm »

Holy CRAP, I am astounded at the awesomeness.

greywolf22 · « **Reply #47 on:** July 17, 2005, 04:59:55 pm »

This is absoultely stunning, I can't wait to see the final product...I'm absolutely blown away

At last another update

dema · « **Reply #49 on:** July 25, 2005, 08:45:10 am »

Absolutely remarkable!!!

zorg · « **Reply #50 on:** July 25, 2005, 08:50:03 am »

the theme is not really my "cup of tea". but it's a really nice looking work, as aways you provide some really great quality stuff.

AmericanDemon · « **Reply #51 on:** July 25, 2005, 01:10:40 pm »

Thats awesome! Looking better and better all the time.

ChadTower · « **Reply #52 on:** July 25, 2005, 02:14:56 pm »

Seriously, too bad there aren't any kickass Transformers games to go with it.

You said it man!

Pixelhugger · « **Reply #54 on:** July 26, 2005, 06:13:26 pm »

That is looking absolutely fantastic. The grille adds a lot and the upper torso's shadow over the stomach/grille area is giving it even more dimension. This is gonna be the most complex artwork ever on these boards.

tommy · « **Reply #55 on:** July 28, 2005, 10:27:03 am »

Damn you AD, you got me all hoped up on Transformers now.

Thought you would want to see this.

AmericanDemon · « **Reply #56 on:** July 28, 2005, 05:22:42 pm »

Thats pretty tight! Apparently though it lacks bacon

Thats the word over at the EE section anyway.

Time for another update. Finally got rid of the 'floating head syndrome':

AmericanDemon · « **Reply #59 on:** July 29, 2005, 09:15:48 am »

Looking outstanding!!

ChadTower · « **Reply #60 on:** July 29, 2005, 10:42:35 am »

Marvelous. It really is awesome looking.

This is good enough that I'm tempted to ask if you would sell prints.

jhsmith321 · « **Reply #63 on:** August 02, 2005, 10:10:17 am »

Wow, totally amazing!!!!

How do you charge your work? based complexity of the image? hours needed?

Could you tell us how much would you charge for an image with this level of detail?

Thanks, once again, the artwork really rocks!!!

Felsir · « **Reply #64 on:** August 04, 2005, 07:09:34 am »

Finished the fist, started work on Megaton's body.

@jhsmith321: I receive a lot of price queries. Price is a bit of a mutual agreement. Partly based on the image's complexity of the and hours needed (it's very hard to estimate the time it will take to vectorise) Keep in mind the price usually don't cover the costs of hours. Prices aren't really discussed on the public boards but note that it will usually take a fair slice of a cab's budget.

AmericanDemon · « **Reply #65 on:** August 04, 2005, 12:31:24 pm »

Felsir you keep cranking out such good work. I am proud to have hired you.

Goz · « **Reply #66 on:** August 04, 2005, 01:11:19 pm »

I never knew the transformers could give me wood. You are doing a damn fine job as usual.

Funny. I always though Arcee was pretty hott.......

M3talhead · « **Reply #68 on:** August 04, 2005, 04:43:27 pm »

Oh yeah, BTW, check this site out. You really need to incorporate some of the artwork they have up there in your cab. In particular, take a look at the Auto. and Decep. symbols about half way down the page. Those have to be the sickest renderings I've ever seen!

Nice work thus far,
I may have to find a use for those logo's on the website myself!!! Those are AWSOME!!!!!

tommy · « **Reply #71 on:** August 12, 2005, 05:51:01 am »

Looks really good, although Megatron never really has his cannon on his back.

Actually I wasn't sure wether it was part of Megatron or not. It isn't really visible in the source pictue if it should be part of him or not. The colours and perspective seemed to match so I figured it to be part of him. AmericanDemon has the final vote on this: should the cannon on his back stay or go?

Meanwhile I (almost) completed the cannon he is holding.

AmericanDemon · « **Reply #73 on:** August 12, 2005, 09:44:34 am »

Lookin good! Yeah leave the cannon. Its in multiple pictures across the web.

Oh heck. I was going to do a Transformers theme as it hadn't been attempted - and now I've been outclassed by a lightyear

Really looking forward to seeing the finished project!

Demon, you better not f*ck this cab up, or we're all gonna be pissed!

AmericanDemon · « **Reply #76 on:** August 12, 2005, 01:58:37 pm »

Oh trust me. I'll screw it up. I have a much more limited budget than a few weeks ago. However there will probably be more than one revision. The first one will be a modded up Super High Impact Cabinet with full side art. Gonna do some cool sculpting and some interesting twists to some areas.

However, the artwork looks like it will surpass the project.

Hey Felsir, I may have a different image in mind for the 2nd pose. I'll throw an image up here. I need to touch base with PH and see what he thinks for the CP.

Well, whatever changes you make, be sure to run them by us before for approval before doing it!!!

Snarbald · « **Reply #78 on:** August 13, 2005, 08:07:18 pm »

The cannon on Megatron's arm turns into the scope when he transforms and the one on his back turns into the barrel.

Felsir · « **Reply #79 on:** August 19, 2005, 09:13:22 am »

New update, just for the weekend.

@AmericanDemon: I'm curious what you selected for the CP.
@PixelHugger: Do you want an 'improvised' hand for Optimus added for the sideart (the parts that aren't in the original picture) or can you obscure those in some way?
