Hi everyone, hope you're staying safe and sane! Thought I'd share some of my digital art that I've been working on during the lockdown. I've dabbled in graphic design and art since I was a kid, but since the lockdown started I've taken it up more seriously. Here are some examples, hope you like them! All comments are welcome. Also any ideas or suggestions for different styles; I love experimenting with art.

The Yamaha and Nissan are both not retro but I am happy you "slipped" them in. I love the first picture with the Escort. That would be my favorite.

They look great! What are you using to do them? The Escort and the banger (mondeo?) are my favourites, I might have to make a couple of suggestions later if you don't mind.

Thanks! I use Photoshop. I started creating filters and design templates to sell on Adobe stock, but I haven't heard back from them yet since submitting my portfolio. So I'm working on some individual designs in the meantime. Maybe if people like it I'll be able to sell personalized photo reproductions.
Definitely send over your suggestions

Just finished this one of my Peugeot J9 that i took to Sicily. Most of the pictures I had of it were with the bonnet off! Quite appropriate really as it was always breaking down.

I loved everything down as far as the Peugeot J9.

Thanks 🙂 I must admit the jury is still out a bit for me on the last 2... I think the slab nature of the van doesn't really go with the effect. But I'm not sure if i Just need to match the subject with the right style better, or if I'm not executing the style right. More practice will surely help 👍

Changed the J9 splatter one a bit. An improvement... but not quite there
|
|

I think the splatter works better with the banger, I'm not sure if that's because its a banger, or because its black.

Thanks a lot 🙂
I did a bicycle with the splatter effect for someone yesterday, and it looks cool. I think it's a particular style that will only work with certain shapes..

Thanks... It's funny, of them all the ezzy is my least favourite, but it's the one most other people like the most. In fairness the original photo is an absolute belter, my brother is a professional photographer and he got some awesome shots from Wales rally GB
