howardb Report post Posted January 14, 2008 Flippin COOL man. I like the orange stitching on that. Sets off the rather maniacle dude on the right. Probably from the staining? Or was it designed in? Cool either way. Brent Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin King Report post Posted January 15, 2008 Thank you all once again. The brown stuff is the last of some distressed pig. The black overlay is black garment leather. The binding is black garment cow. I think the difference your seeing between the two dudes is just lighting. The art is not mine, it is a reproduction of a paintjob. This is another example of creating line art from a photo. (vector art) I redrew in Corel Draw. The photo on the left is of the original paintjob, and on the right is my rendering to suit my needs.

ETW Grumpy Report post Posted January 15, 2008 Very nice work, Kevin. Do you think you could come up with a tutorial on how to do vector art from a picture? I have been trying to figure that out for some time now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin King Report post Posted January 15, 2008 Very nice work, Kevin. Do you think you could come up with a tutorial on how to do vector art from a picture? I have been trying to figure that out for some time now. Thanks brutha. As far as the tutorial, i'm not sure i'd know how to do that. But basically its juts glorified tracing. The reason I like to use corel and convert to vector is that I can resize and position very easily. I can even simulate colors and stitching to kinda give myself a preview of what its going to look like. What program are you using? KK Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It took about six hours in just stitch work, so it wouldve really sucked to not be able to use it. Kevin, Awesome work! What kind of sewing machine do you use? That IS art! Thanks for posting!
