Stunning

Just an idea I had. Thought I'd throw it out there and see what people thought. Will crack on if there's interest.

amazing work

That's hilarious!



A print fer sure.

oh yeah another winner. thats an awesome idea!

thats great color it wouldja

I'm interested! I'm interested!



Man, you've gotta work this up.

Thanks guys. You're the best.

I had an idea along these lines but not the same image. Of course, mine would've looked like a kid drawing next to yours LOL



Wonderful job. I can't wait to see more versions ^_^

fatheed - would you be interested in a collab - I think your style would suit an idea I have that is beyond my artistic talents.

Hmmm, c'est possible mein 13strong. I have a few ideas of my own keeping me busy at the moment, but if you have a concept I think I can make work, then it is a distinct possibility. Let me do a bit more of this, and we'll chat. You'll probably have to remind me.

OK - I'll give you an email once this has been subbed. No rush!



Looking forward to this mate - keep up the good work.

back to the future is one of my favorite movies



maybe change the police box to the phone booth from bill & ted's

haha. I did think of that Joe, but You really need Bill and Ted (and Abe Lincoln, Ghengis Khan etc...) in the phone booth to make it clear as otherwise the booth is a bit generic.

The Doctor Who phone box is much more recognisable and iconic than the Bill and Ted phonebooth.



Please don't change this!

Or replace the phonebox with Sam from Quantum Leap!



Just kidding...

Plus, as pop references, they are quite close together (Same sort of period, American, comedic, loads of pop culture references etc) whereas Dr Who is a little further away and will make the design appeal to a broader audience.

lol @ Sam from Quantum Leap

lol @ me passing through san dimas last sunday



san dimas football rulez!

Random and hilarious in equal measure!

i suppose you could have the police box in the process of landing on the car so that the famous doors are starting to go up



really though, this is great and i can't wait to see the finished product



$5 already

i love back to the future

=]]

Oh hell yeah!

I love that people have clicked "Submit this".



What the hell?

why is magnum running over ET?

i don't know what a police box is.. just saying.

it's Dr Whos Tardis.

Clever.

oh wow

id never even heard of this show

so i looked it and and its pretty crazy



so now i say leave it as is

haha

I've just refined the sketch a little in preparation for inking it. I thought I'd post it before I set about it with a pen.



That is all.

fatheed, do you use a wacom in illustrator?

all my pieces are done in photoshop and by the mouse but I love the clean lines of illustrator but never learned to design with it

I use a wacom in Photoshop and for some basic stuff in Illustrator.



This, obviously is a hand pencil and paper job.



PS: The wheels are in need of further refinement at the moment, but most of it is almost there.

hahaahaaaa



DR whoooooooooooooo DR who DR who

DR whoooooooooooooo DR who DR who



nice

spend £70 ($140) and get the A6 Wacom graphire. It's a great start and you'll wonder how you ever coped without it!

You got another potential winner on your hands. Genious concept.

fatheed you gotta stop being so good!

i am excited to see colors!

Do people spell genius wrongly on purpose? I don't wanna be ruining someone's ironic wit here, but it's genius. No 'O'.



Sorry - it's like an itch I have to scratch.

Geniooooooooooous!

GAh! You're killing me!



Sorry for the rampant anality trav - you spell it however you want.

Ha! whatever. It's just one of those words that I always seem to screw up whenever I'm typing

Hurry up and trace this shit

i would totally buy this shirt, big fan of the movie

I think it's awesome! I hope people in the state will get the dr who police box.

wowa

great job.

I wish i could draw like that ;)

I still got a heap of painting to do on the Delorean to create reflections and so on - but here is the color scheme. If anyone knows how to do a single color half tone in photoshop, please let me know!

fantastic design. Is it going to have flaming skidmarks (he he he)?

Cheers mate. Quite possibly - but I'd need to use a 6th color. haha

could it not be done using the same red?

looking good, very clever!

Thanks. Maybe TGK, but it might look pants, and I think I'll settle for traditional wheel skid marks.

fatheed - the Tardis is made of wood.



Can you do a splintered wood effect where it's been hit?

fatheed - the Tardis is made of wood.



Can you do a splintered wood effect where it's been hit?

That's a fantastic idea.

this is amazing, I can't wait to see the finished version

great idea, I bet glennz is kicking himself

The back of the car should be colored in. Looks kind of empty not colored.

Your line work is so nice.

Thanks one and all. The wooden door of the Tardis are fractured and bent, but not splintered because of the heavy paint work! :-)

fatheed - using a grayscale file do your halftone then color select out the black then paste into layer on your file and do a color overlay on the layer

a thousand thank you's.

looks wicked good BTW

I luv the 1sr version, but idont like the withe on the back, and second...mmm, sorry i would say that you should send the 1st one

If I thought they might print pencil marks, I would.

Almost there. Theres a few odds and ends I have to tie up, but I think any more work and it might be over-done. Thoughts appreciated. Cheers.

oooh

Not giving much away there, Frank. Lol. Where is everyone? Why do you mock me?

looks kick ass - sub it!

This looks ready to submit - brilliant work fatheed.



Once this is in, mind if I send you that idea I had? Would suit your style I think, but maybe be something a little different?

I like the half tone smoke.

looks great. the skid marks look like they might need a bit more loving

if this doesn't win, there is no justice in the world and jesus was a liar.

just one thing.......where has this collision taken place? By the fact there are skid marks (he he he) I imagine it is a road or something. Would it not benefit from some road markings or something, just to give it a bit of perspective and positioning?

the tyre marks could use a little bit more texture

Give the smoke more lines and less halftones and give the tyre marks more halftones.

If I was allowed a 6th ink, I'd sub it with this. Because cross-media plug-ins are the way forward.

I played around with the smoke and I think its just the right density at the moment. Also I don't want to use halftones for the tire marks. Fewer halftones the better I think.

haha

I'm not feeling the smoke at the moment, fella.



Looks a bit disjointed from the rest of the design to me.

haha make the sticker work... it's to brilliant a joke to leave out...



you dont need to use halftones on the tyres, just find a way to make them less bulky like a tred pattern!

haha this is awesome. finish and submit already!

But it you look at skid marks, they are not tread patterns - they are just black rubber skid marks.



I'll try to see what I can do. There is nothing I can really do to improve the halftone smoke. I have to use halftones for that, and it's always going to look slightly different to the rest of the design. I can try to see what can be done, but I've a feeling that's as good as it'll get. I'm happy with it at any rate.

could the sticker be on the actual bumper of the car?

Okay, I made some final adjustments. I've redone the steam/smoke to make the halftone less intense and I've reworked the skid marks to make them a little more streaky. I'm pretty happy with it all, so I think I'll sub this unless ther is something that drastically needs adjustment still. Thanks for your help so far.

That's better.

Mubsit.

damn I wish I could draw like that

i'm happy if you're happy

i must admit i still don't get this design at all...lol

i know the bttf car but that's it.

but i like the artwork!

Yeah, does fatheed teach drawing classes?

i think it would be better if the police box had a bigger dent in it

Well, I figured that not everyone would about Dr Who - and specifically, the Tardis, but I thought the idea of the DeLorean crashing was kinda funny on its own. Then for those who are familiar with both time travel vehicles, it's double the fun. I guess whether people get it or not will be reflected in the scoring.

yeah i would totally wear this despite having know idea what it means :)

A. Those Polic Boxes were pretty hardcore



B. The problem with a bigger dent is that it might expose more of the inside - that complicates things a bit if you know whats inside.

the car and box still looks like its floating on the shirt. not real sure as to how you could fix that. maybe add a few pebbles or the outlines of brick pavers.

hmmm...

but the delorean can float!

I really wanted to avoid adding other elements.

Right you bastards. Thank you all for your help. I'm going to sub now because anything else is just tweaking and fine tuning and that could go on for ages.

I still want to know what the smoke/steam and skid *haters think of the amendments.



* not actual haters

Doo it now!!! Sub this crap

ATTENTION!



Please leave no further suggestions, as it is now subbed and can be located HERE.



Thanks to everyone for their help!

it looks wonderful, i think you'll be getting yet another print in the near future.

Is this still on threadless? I can't find it!
