The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Panels 'N Burbs Panel truck artwork

To cold to get out there in the garage so I was messing around with a panel truck 3d model I downloaded and made it cartoony and chunky.

Plus, I could see this being the paint trim and wheel scheme I go with on my truck.

Still needs some work to be t-shirt worthy but since I haven't seen any panel truck shirts I liked I figure I'll make my own.

Check it out.

nice

Man that's cool, can you do one as a suburban ?

I was thinking I'd do a suburban one once I got the panel design where I wanted it.

Nice like it is! Sort of favors you Keith and about 30,000 other bolters. LOL

Very cool!

Very nice job like it

The next logical step was to do a Disney's CARS version so here's my addition to the CARS lineup...

Working on some freelance work but I'll crank out a suburban version early this week. I'll just need to find some good side view pics of the windows and the rear doors.

That is sweeet. I would buy a T and Sweat with that on it.
Very cool.

That is SO COOL! I like wearing car tees, but so many are waaaay too busy. That design is so clean. I'd buy one in a heartbeat. I would like to have one with a Suburban also.
Where do I sign? Lol

Without the Disney for me, but I'd get a Disney one for my grandson.

Can you do a GMC version in a Suburban?

wow, I like the second one. It really is cute. If you get it done and get it "set up someplace" (however that works), let us know (editor@stovebolt.com) and we'll put a little box in the side panel for you. I'm sure some folks would like to get a few. If you made one of Poppa's truck, I KNOW they'd add that to their collection of Stovebolt t-shirts that they have!

Very cool. (Wish I could do that!)

.....and make mine Sunset Orange

Nice job on the art work. We have CARS now we need a TRUCKS mooovie!!

Keith, that is just great!

Thanks for the interest everyone.

I am still working on a couple of versions and trying to figure out where I can get quality digital one-off prints done for framing. For shirts I'd have to decide on a neutral/popular color and get those set up for screen printing.

Meantime here's a couple more I did based on a couple of photos.

This was supposed to be a GMC but I was concentrating on getting the patina right and cutting out the carryall sides.

Here's a bare metal one in a couple of angles... with and without eyes.

Consider me a newbie... where can I find pics of Poppa's truck?

Will that CE looks familiar.

@neal.. i still want to model you a proper GMC grill.

count me in if you get to the point you want to do one offs and sell them.

Can you do other years like the 60 - 66 suburban?
I'd buy a couple tee's and sweat shirts.
thanks Dale

Keith
What program or app or whatever, did you use? I am not very computer functional, but would like to try and mess around with pics like that of my own 61 suburban.
Thanks, Dale

Sorry for the late reply. Havent been on the boards in a while.

Truck was a model I purchased that was originally for POSER but I edited and deformed it in Cinema4D (both 3d programs).

I've seen someone do something similar to this using photoshop though. It could probably be done with some creative layering and the liquify tool for distortion.

kicking around the idea of a military theme for my truck to commemorate my time on active duty and military service in general.

it wouldn't be time period specific, more 'general military'

i'd mark the number of jumps i've done with little parachutes, throw a set of C-130 troop cargo seats on each side of the cargo area, throw a korean war era keep blackout light on the front splash apron opposite the license plate.

maybe have all my duty stations hand lettered on the inside of one of the back doors.

of course.. classic korean war paint scheme though.

Here's the cargo area seats i'm thinking of.

They'd match the red rims (which I think I want to keep because it sets it off a little as opposed to OD)

Like, on the Korean War themed panel.

It's a tough call because of the year. I'd like for it to represent my military service but I served 1990-2000. With the truck being a '50 you just HAVE to throw in the time period style cues.

It'd probably end up as a bit of a mish-mosh of time periods since I'd probably want to also memorialize my uncle who was KIA in vietnam serving with Americal.

Question is.. do i want to be the guy in the neighborhood with 'army truck' vs the guy with the 'old truck'

I almost feel like I'd drive it more regularly if it was bare metal or flat black. Decisions, decisions.

Actually, IMO, you will get enough attention without the extra decoration. But, that might be okay.

Yeah... either way i will be "that guy"

I like that,.. Not Rat Fink,.... But darn good!
