Artwork by Steve Brown

nice.
Looks a bit sad though

acheivable but only registerable as individualy constructed.
shorter wheelbase and shortened tub.

cool artwork otherwise.

kinda scares me when art and concept are mated up .
those who want whats been created and dont notice the major changes that got hidden in art spend their lives for years and cant acheive the goal.

i guess the learning is to enjoy artwork for what it is .
wow i sound pessimistic .

Plenty of people start doing cars up and don't get to finish them let alone trying to copy a cartoonish drawing!
Everyone can dream I spose .

I think it looks super. I must agree with Trev on the sad face look. Please don't be offended, but the grille made me think of the electric car on the Simpsons episode where they visit the "world of tomorrow".
Like I said. No offence.

It's not sad, it's just begging for someone to take it out for a spin...

I like it.

I love his artwork!
How about what he added to it the next day...ULTRA COOL!

Hang on Trev.. that would be totally doable (on a REAL ute) just done to the original scale.
I can see where Steve Brown is going with this, as for cartoonish..well most of MY stuff looks that way!!

Looks much better with the paint detail around the grille in the second pic. Love the tall, skinny chromies with the white-walls, but not a big fan of painting the inner guards white.

They aren't painted white, they are upholstered.

easy to get around find some type of short chassis to suit the wheelbase regoed as a rebodied what ever the chassis is from

I've allways said and been shot down for it before that how ever cool a drawing looks is very hard to get an exact of what the car will actually look like due to not being exactly to scale

that front is so cool ,looks like a toadfish
I love it

Thought I'd have a crack at it using real EK ute dimensions..

.....and I still like it!


Scotty

thats atleast doable in the real world now scotty.

the first one looks awesome , kinda looks like that hotrod with the bubble roof put under the ek feature elements.

that artist who appeared in street machine who was joining up different makes and models without proportion was interesting and annoying to me , just rediculous i suppose , theres no means to an end there.
but i guess as a builder of this type of changing proportions stuff i know the effort it takes and can more easily see the bending of proportions that can or cant work without a shipload of work.
i know you were a little disgruntled when you spent the time doing the rendering of the coupe scotty and all i wanted to do was change it , i just wanted to see what it would be like realistically and not in the proportions of art.

love art ,hate artistic concepts

Thanks Hewey, Scotty, Harko & forum. Enjoying this discussion.



I've re-touched the # plate on this one;


P.s. This is a fine forum. I liked the article by Mai-Ki-Ki on Celica 5 speed install. I have an FJ sedan project. I also do car portraits by e-mail order or on- site- check it out here;
