39 Ford Revisited

wW · 15 May 2006, 03:14 PM

Hello Folks!

This is the latest version of the 39 Ford Coupe. Not 100% complete but getting close.

This is for a 2 color job that prints this week so I'm not going to be able to do much more for the printed version. I may play with this later, there are several problem area's that still need addressing. For now, it'll have to work for the print.

I'm masking off all the text for the event (not shown) & printing a bunch of these (39's only) for family & friends. My Dad's gonna freak, he's building a 39 & several others. I think a Model A, 55 T-bird & one other (20 something - don't know the year). All Fords...

This has been a helpful study in light & reflection. I don't think I'll ever get a grasp of this stuff, Too many variables - too little brain matter & time...

Thanks for taking a gander & hope it's appealing to the car buffs here.

Comments, crituques welcome. Enjoy!

Nice looking car. I like the big wheels in the back.

I used to drive my Dad's old 39 Chevrolet, brought back memories. Except that his Chevy constantly had smaller tires that would get flat all the time!

This is a fantastic image!

I think you've achieved your aim here in bucket loads.

wW,
IMHO, you've reached your goal. In my experience, when it comes to highlights and reflections with cars, there are almost unlimited variables or possibilities that can be produced. You could spend forever redoing these as the possibilities are endless.
Great work!
