First off, I want to thank everyone for posting all these great photoshops. What a brilliant idea this topic was. All these pictures have given me a lot of perspective and a number of new ideas for my future car.
Initially, I was thinking of doing something within these lines:
But since I saw this awesome photoshop below, I have had a slight change of heart:
However, since I am still struggling to decide whether I will buy a Z or an Ariel Atom, I would reeeeeeally reaally want to see what that above style would look like on an Ariel Atom.
I have tried, with my meager skills, to do a look-a-like on an Atom, but have been utterly unsuccessful. So, I would be trully greatful if someone would have the skills and patience to work the art.
Here is the Ariel Atom-picture I have been working on:
Here is what I am looking for exactly:
- The whole car in yellow, except for the chairs, the wheels, the grill above the chairs and the two red-white-black suspensions beside the hood
- On the picture, the car does not have any plexiglass on the side, but I would have one...so I would like this part also to be in yellow (which would hide almost all the visible belt and chair on the picture)
- A slim yellow circle on the outside of the rims
- Reproducing the graffiti as seen on the picture above or painting something fairly similar or at least funky/aggressive/stylish. In whichever case, I would like the same colours to be used, that is to say black, red, brownish black, brownish red, brownish yellow. The graffiti should cover pretty much the same proportions of the surface as seen on the 370z.
- A final detail, but not absolutely necessary: I would like to have the lights edited into something more aggressive and slim (maybe incorporating even LEDs).
I fully realize this is a lot to ask of anyone, but if someone is talented enough to do this and, in particular, enjoys overcoming this kind of artistic challenges, I would be thrilled to see the end result.
Final note: this photoshop would most likely serve as sketch for a real-life project on an Atom. As I have never tuned any cars before, I have absolutely no idea how much this kind of paint job could cost. So, has anyone got any idea what I should be expecting to pay for this, preferably with european prices in mind?
I reckon it must be quite a big task to take on if you have to unmount all the pieces in order to paint them. Plus, the graffiti certainly takes some skills and time...
