RC Art Overview
As a backstory, I demanded a fresh new wallpaper for my smartphone. Having a high interest towards cars, I always having it as my wallpaper lock screen for my phone. While I was looking for a decent picture of a certain car, a BNR32 Skyline GTR, on the internet, all the pictures I founded were either on an angle that I don’t want, having a very low quality image, or pictures that most people I know have already used it.
In order to have a uniqueness and personalisation to myself, I decided to download one of the images and import the latter to Adobe Photoshop where I can use it as a base and do a “trace art”. Although the main body and components were based on the picture, the main colour and select parts of the car were either changed, add, or remove it for this artwork.
The result of my style of graphic work and alterations of the visual aspects of the car is the personalised poster graphical wallpaper of a car. As mentioned, I initially did it to make a new lock screen wallpaper for my smartphone. But since I can use the same formula on other car models and on different image dimensions, as well as looking on how successful my first work is (a white Skyline GTR), it ended up becoming a series of car graphic artworks of my style.
Applications
These artwork images can be adapted on numerous applications. As stated initially, the graphical car artworks is initially created to fit on wallpapers for personal posters, smartphones, laptops, and/or tablets. Though it is later viable for these artworks to be applied on E Money cars (essentially cards that is used to pay parking and tollbooths) and also on clothing such as T-Shirts and hoodies. The addition of E Money cards is highly feasible and useful as E Money card design is a new trend since it has become a mandatory use for Indonesian roads and parking. The E Money card design as well as other applications will be available on numerous different car models in a number range of colours.
Continuing on..
As stated, this car graphic art has become an indefinite ongoing project as a result of my initial success. Not only it fills in my visual experience by keep me trained in terms of my graphical design and Photoshop skills, it also illustrates my hobby towards cars.
