Not exactly new but I put up a more complete gallery of my Honda Genuine Parts Ads on my new Cargo based site. That was a really fun project and I had total freedom to do anything I wanted: http://www.hatchillustrations.com/#2245 ... ustrations

Nice! (Unfortunately they don't still make parts for my '72 CB 350...)

The Lexus work is new to me. Really great stuff, Jim.

Awesome, have not seen the quad one.

Jim,
I was looking at your webpage and work. What medium did you use to produce the Automotive Exterior Illustrations?http://www.hatchillustrations.com/#2073 ... ustrations

I should eventually have some work up on this site once again. I recently got a job as a contracted Technical Illustrator for an advertising company. Finally I've joined the professional community of Illustration!

Hey Steven, Thanks for checking out my work. Those cars were done with Photoshop. I shot the reference on most of them. On the Porsches I was still inking the outlines by hand and scanning them in for paint but on the later cars I switched to inking my Paths in Photoshop. I mostly used the Airbrush tool and a Wacom tablet. I hope this helps.

Jim

Here is a link to my first work as a contracted technical illustrator (all my previous stuff has been from school or self-promotional).

Hope you like it.

Really great stuff, you have a bright future ahead of you.

Very nice work, Steven!

Wow, all this stuff is so impressive. I am glad I am going to school as a technical writer so that I won't have to compete with you guys
That said, thus far my freelance paying gigs have been in the realm of illustration and graphic design; fun work if you ask me. Steven, your work is most impressive; right up there with the best on here.

I am just wondering whether there is room for more mid-level illustrators out there. I see myself bridging the gap of offering both writing and illustration services. I'll know where to look if I need someone who can pull out all the stops!

Hey Jim,
I like your transition illustrations from wireframe to rendering: http://www.hatchillustrations.com/#2511 ... lustration
Do you start with full versions of each: wireframe and fine detail, then blend them together? I imagine that might be a lot of work if you already know when sections will be which.

I am close to finishing up a Vincent Black Shadow that I have been toying with for almost 10 years. Full-on trace job, but really doing it to test and hone all of my Illustrator skills. Still find myself digging the internet for closeups of engines, forks, brakes, etc... I should just buy one
