Drifting Thunder
Here's an illustration 100% completed in XaraXtremePro with the use of only one live effect (Flaming Pears' Flood) for the road surface. Everything else was done by hand.
The subject is one I'm becoming more and more familiar with due to my son rebuilding one of these 1985/6 Toyota Sprinter 'Trueno' hatchbacks.
This was created over a period of about ten days during spare time and represents the most detailed and complex drawing I've so far done using XaraXtreme.
I used 23 layers, each panel, body kit, lights, wheels, decals ect were on their own layer. This is how I 'built-up' the picture by drawing one-layer at a time. I found this a most satisfying project.
Although these racing-spec cars have no headlights etc, their pop-up covers are in the half raised 'sleepy' position (as it is known), a typical pose when cars of this type are photographed or on show.
The front wheels are in a negative camber position, eg: / \ , which increases grip in cornering.
*Trueno is Spanish for Thunder.

Re: Drifting Thunder
Great work Sledger. I can never understand the fixation with cars / car restoration etc but I really enjoyed visiting your sons (?) photo gallery of the rebuild.

Re: Drifting Thunder
Sledger..... one word, Fantasterrific!!!! I would have to say, 10 days well spent, as well as quite the rewarding and completely satisfying result of the time involved. I am extremely impressed.
May your son's project prove to be just as rewarding for him. ;)
I'm currently eyeing a couple of Ford Torino GT's, myself for my son and I to begin as a Father n son restoration. He has confiscated all the photos of the one I had and is holding them ransom until we get one.... (that's my boy :p)
If you happen to see one of the "Mad Max" stunt doubles stickin outta a pile of sand over there, please kindly let me know :D
