Dodge L-700 Box Art Completed

Here is the completed rendering and box art for another upcoming AMT kit. A Dodge L-700 with a racing trailer. The box has been altered digitally to include decals and subtle changes. I included the original gouache rendering for comparison. The artwork is sent to Round2 Corporation in Indiana where the project’s graphic design lead will scan the artwork and make digital alterations like the decals and sometimes colour correction. They usually provide reference pics of a built-up prototype to base the rendering on.

1912 Lorraine-Dietrich in Charcoal

This piece depicts a 1912 Lorraine-Dietrich as would have been driven by Victor Hémery at the 1912 French Grand Prix. It’s rendered with charcoal on Canson Mi-Teintes coloured/textured pastel paper. Paper Size: 19.5" x 12.875". Image Size: 16.5" x 10.25"

Marta Lisa

An oil pastel rendition of my wife. I entitled it “Marta Lisa” as it reminds me of the famous Mona Lisa. 16.625” x 23.875” on Canson Mi-Teintes Pastel Paper. I wanted to capture a bit of a “renaissance” feel to this one as the pose is very regal. Marta took the photo that inspired this piece herself and when I saw it I just had to depict it. Marta’s father was a gifted professional photographer and I think that Marta has inherited some of that talent.

Completed Box Art Peterbilt 352 "Coors"

Here is another completed project for AMT/Round 2 Corp. A Peterbilt 352 “Coors” rendered in gouache. The client asked for a winter scene and a specific colour scheme to show a “Rocky Mountain” backdrop to go with the “Coors” theme. This project required a side view profile rendering as well. Reference photos of a built-up model were provided.

Peterbilt 352 "Coors" More Progress

More progress on the Pete. The landscape reference is for colour scheme and setting as the client asked for a "Rocky Mountain" theme with cool colours including pinks and blues.

2nd of 3 in Tripoli

This image depicts Hermann Lang in his Mercedes W154 on his way to the second of three consecutive victories on the Mellaha circuit of the Tripoli Grand Prix in 1938. The attached screen shot was my initial reference in creating this one. Acrylic on canvas. 12" x 16"

Dodge L-700 in Gouache

This is the linear for an upcoming project for AMT/Round2 Corporation. A Dodge L-700 in gouache.

Auto Union Racing Car in Acrylics

Working away on this small acrylic. It will depict an Auto Union race car in the Alps. The Auto Union were the predecessors to the present Audi. Auto Union AG, was an amalgamation of four German automobile manufacturers (Audi, DKW, Horch and Wanderer) founded in 1932 in Chemnitz, Saxony. It is the immediate predecessor of Audi as it is known today. The challenge with images such as these though is the details need to be correct, and I think this image needs to be revised as it depicts a chassis that didn’t actually race in the Alps, so it will need to be updated to depict a 1938 Auto Union N83.

1965 Pontiac GTO Hardtop (2nd View)

The second view for this project for AMT/Round2. Box art for an upcoming AMT kit, a 1965 Pontiac GTO Hardtop. This is the first of two views. Gouache on smooth illustration board.
