Thread: Toon version of my car

Tweet

I had my car tooned and here is the result. They are also making the same picture into an embroidery file so I can have it put on whatever I want or I can have the image screen printed on anything too.

What do you think?

I think that it looks great. Would make a cool t-shirt.

I've always liked that sort of thing, though I would have left the fill cap off the apron for the artwork. A good artist like that enhances the more appealing features of the overall car. Very cool.

They did a nice job, if I had something nice I wouldn't mind having a car on a tee shirt. I don't think the truck would look too good at it's present condition!!

They offer many options. I got the Toon & Embroidery file for $165, but you can get just the toon version for $60. They can do about anything you need or want.

If any of you get anything from them, tell them that Robert Youther sent ya and maybe I can get them to take a few pennies off of my balance....LOL!

That is kool. I once had an artist in Branson air brush on a t-shirt for me the Focus that I had. Then my ex had one of my 64 done to the back of my jean jacket. I do like what they did for you ride.

That is sharp and different , will look great on a jacket when your at a show or even just cruising about .

Here's what I had em come up with to put on a shirt.

I like the flag background, looks good!!!!

Now that you have the file you can play around with different backgrounds when you get bored. This is one of the ones I did with mine a while back.

I had my 48 DeSoto cartooned, got a framed picture and 2 t-shirts, but no ways that expensive. Now getting 2 sweat shirts for $60. Small picture on the front, large on the back. Price includes price of the sweats, and shipping.

What a cool idea. When I build or paint a car I do a drawing, make copies, and then use colored pencils to experiment with different color schemes. Here's the one I did of my coupe. It never occurred to me to do a "toon" style and then have it put on a shirt... I will now! Thanks for the idea.

Awesome job! You ever do any for other people? You could easily make some cash by doing that.

J., that is way kool , and that drawing would be really sharp on a T or sweat shirt.

I have done a few (very few!) drawings for other people. Time always seems to be an issue with me; too many irons in the fire, I guess. As for making money, it takes me so long to finish one that I would probably make about 25 cents an hour... It's just something I have done since childhood and still enjoy. If I hired myself out and was under pressure to finish, it would probably take away the enjoyment I get.

Anyway, here's one I did recently. The car in the foreground is the first hotrod I ever rode in back in 1961. The background image is how that same car looks today (still owned by the same guy).
