80-Series Front End Picture Needed for a T-Shirt Design

[Mike Shull]

Okay 80 lovers, the time has finally come. After several requests for me to draw an 80-series for a T-Shirt design, I am finally ready to start. My last drawing of @Pighead’s FJ55 is below as an example.

I need a clean, high resolution image that is dead square of the front end of an 80. It doesn’t have to be stock. Please post what you have and I will give a free shirt to the person that I select who submits the best picture and is willing to review a few proofs with me.

Please know that this item will be for sale in my store when the design is done.

This is an awesome Cruiser! I love the 8274 on the front. The sun and your bumper are hiding a good portion of the body lines

Well worth the effort.

This one may be the ticket, @bhsdriller. I'll get started.

I may also use elements from your Cruiser,@Roostre. There may be two free shirts.

I appreciate the submissions from @george_tlc and @Gascan. Those might also be a little difficult to trace and I'll let you both know if I borrow any components from your trucks. All of these make me want to trade in my 4Runner.

If you decided on this, I could get a more unobstructed view for outline.

Not quite dead square of the front, but trust me, these would fly off the shelves

Piece of cake! What should the caption be?

 

[Mike Shull]

How am I doing?

 

[george_tlc]

headlights look 'weird'...

and hood 'crease' is too pronounced. On the vehicle it's a soft 'rounding'.

cheers,
george.

Thanks for the feedback, George. I totally agree and I'm not sure how to fix it just yet so I've put the hood on pause to work on the rest. Hoods are hard to draw.

I worked on the hood a bit and added an axle, tires and a few other accents. That's it for today...and probably the week. Feel free to let me know what needs to be tweaked.
