    The Plastic wrap effect is like trademark photoshop. So I am curious as to how you achieved this effect so accurately with oils or whatever medium you are using.

    obvious photoshop. I can see some pixelation in parts, and the plastic wrap thing is a dead giveaway. the hendrix does not look even remotely similar. I wish you could just be honest about your "paintings" man... we'd probably say they're good even if you said "these are my photoshop paintings".... no reason for the dishonesty...

    Definitely computer aided.

    the paintings being shown as 'real life' next to the subject.. well, those do look airbrushed, and not PS. The pictures shown here are no question digitally rendered from photos. Sorry buddy, but making those isn't real talent IMHO.

    Actually, that was my point. I created mine in Photoshop in about five minutes. The ones
    by the cars may just be framed Photoshop images. As far as the others, it's hard to tell.
    If you don't tell the truth about one...

    Great eye! And kodus on locating the reference pics.

    I have to say that being honest is the best policy. Maybe if these were your actual photographs and you then whipped them up in photoshop, printed them and called them art. But for paintings, might have to see the actual canvas. But even printing on canvas is possible these days.

    Maybe this will inspire him to come up with original work from scratch, hope he hasn't been discouraged by all of this.

    I agree. The purpose was never to discourage him. Only a week ago, someone in the
    forum was looking for a good Photoshop artist. Photoshop is a tool. How you use it
    is up to you.

    Also doing Photoshop work isn't a bad thing, so be honest about it. It gives those of us that are Photoshop artists a bad wrap when people try to pawn them of as something that they aren't.

    Some photoshops are less obvious to point out; one should never assume that the Fchat communtiy does not include professional artists & designers and also creative & art directors, all with a scrutinizing eye for any little details...especially when it comes to our favourite Italian marque :)

    LOLLLL I do appreciate all the comments ...

    Seriously , FYI if I did photoshop these images then can you please explain to me how I can place them in the brushed aluminum farmes ?
    Also I never claimed that I dont work with photoshop or Corel Painter ... I do , and that's how I design my work and built the foundation of my images .
    As far as an airbrushing artist , which I HAVE CALIMED TO BE , I will not share my work as other artist wont share there trade secrets or their concept or desing to the public and to other artist ... so with that being said .. a poster on here wanted to see the Enzo on canvas and I offered to do it and I am working on it as we speak ...

    I do appreciate every single post as I take the good with the bad in my industry ... but so far nobody has responded to my work on the brushed Aluminum .... It is on there isnt it ...

    Please respond to that image , and explain how can an image of a photoshop can be placed on stainless steel and Aluminum WHICH YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE THE BRUSHED SECTION OF THE PAINTING ..

    Oh ya and lets not forget the Lambos are also on suede fabric .... how can you explain that ...

    I do appreciate you going out of your way and posting images next to my work but can a photoshop image be transparent behind a plastic cover on the canvas with the reflection of the car next to it or from of it ....

    Im defiantly looking for replies that can explain your accusations ....

    If you said your paintings were digital based from the get go then, yeah there wouldn't be any confusion. I don't think anyone was accussing you, just trying to figure out what was what. I think your idea of using brushed aluminum and suede is neat and I assumed the images were pulled from a silk screen onto the media like a lithograph. This is how I prefer to do large format mixed media; incorporating screened digital artwork onto hand painted backdrops. Like I said in an earlier posting, I hope to see your style develop so keep hanging in there tiger! :)

    Nice ...LOL but if you actually read there process ...

    Leader All Surface Printing is one of a handful of companies nationwide that has installed the 3M 2500 UV Printer. This amazing system offers a 98-inch wide, large format, high productivity, - a (flatbed printer) and a textiles printer all in one.

    Okay for starters I did just get off the phone with a guy name bill and I asked him about the process and the only way they can print on stainless steel or Aluminum is by spraying the image on to a 3mm sheet and the heating it onto the surface which in my case you can actullay see the brushed section of the aluminum and you cant see any 3mm or any surface that shows that there has not been any printing on it whatsoever .

    Alos on fabric it has to be a flat surface similar to a jiclee .. which again you can see my image of the lamob that you were so kind to post a picture next to it that my ink is transparent so there goes your theory about my work being photoshoped ..

    Thanks and since I do have your attention ... then if this last image was silkscreened then would you be able to see through the image as you can on my lambo ..

    Please let me know ..

    If you actually knew about art work then you would know artists like Gothard , Marco Toro , have a similar way of painting images by airbrushing them or painting them on a surface ... I know since Im doing it but please let me know what your theory is behind that ...

    So there work is done by photoshop and then gicleed .. so you dont consider that art .. since there is photoshoped involved ..

    Using photoshop simply gives an aritist a faster way to improve his work and takes it to a different level instead of sitting there and waisting countless amounts of Canvas and paint not counting the time you invest in that art work , so yes I design my work on photoshop and when the concept is done .. then I airbrush my work on to a surface in a way that I have been trained and learned ...

    A few poster on here keep on replying to the bubble wrap section of my images ... what does that have to do with the painting not being original ........ Where did the concept of bubble wrap come from ... An artist .... not Photoshop ........ LOLLLLL
    DO you realize that photoshop was created in the same concept of a painter and an artist ... So what does bubble wrap have to do with a pinting? ......

    Now a few poster on here have questioned my work ...... I respect it but please if your going to criticize something .. dont reapeat the same thing and if your going to post websites then maybe you need to call them and find out there process since they are printed by UV ink jets and the ink jets will not print on a shinny surface since the UV reflects off the surface .....

    But as you have doubted my work I have posted many images to prove my point ...

    This turned from sharing my art work to defending my work ...LOL

    But again I am respectfull to criticisim as long as you can prove to me what your saying is true and correct .

    Look, I am sorry if you feel we have bashed your work, this wasn't the intent. You originally said that these were not photoshoped, but in fact you later stated that you did originally design these in photoshop. While your end product may have not been digitally printed, you still used photoshop. Thats really all we were trying to figure out. I hope you do well in your future projects.

    tfling no need to appoligize ...... I havent taken any of your or others posts any way other than questions and remarks . I did ask for your opinions ... So again .... No appology needed ....
    I have airbrushed these images and I have sold most of them ... I realized with my method and my work that I did I recieved a lot of doubts from buyers and viewers that wonder since the quality is so good and then I got the idea and the concept of doing it on Aluminum and Stainless steel to put myself above other artists ....
    So no I did appreciate the remarks and again if anyone likes to see my work they can buy them . LOLLLLLL I was actually trying to post them on the classified section later .
    Also here is another Lambo that I did on Brushed Aluminum ..

    I do consider it art, its one of the techniques I use myself. If it wasn't for Adobe Creative Suite, I'd be out of business! Geesh, that sounds like a cheap Adobe plug. LOL As for airbrushing, thats one area I still have to master; you seem proficient at it so thats awesome! I like your work and hope to see more. And thanks for immortalizing me in one of your pics. It made my day :)

    Thats a good thing then. I'd be flattered if people thought my stuff was too photorealistic. Onebadenzo, have you tried your hand at tackling some of the more vintage cars? Especially racecars that actually used turned aluminum in thier construction, that would look splendid on your brushed aluminum canvases.

    Honestly I have been working on the M.B.Z 300slr version last month ... I had to put that to the side since working with Brushed aluminum and Stainless steel is harder to paint than canvas , since the minute you spray on it , the color changes so at times your stuck going back and forth with having to redo a lot of spots ... and at times there are lighter and darker parts of the image that makes the image distorted or fuzzy ... but I have done pretty well with the Lambo and the scarface piture and if you look at the Scarface image on that image you notice a BOB Marley image on the table thats another Stainless Steel Image I did ,, but SWB if you can maybe guide me or post some pics of something you like or you might think would look good on Stainless or Aluminum and let me make a believer out of you with that image ............

    Im have no limitaions as to what I can do ... and honestly I never took any of your or other posters remarks or posts on here the wrong way .. and you can see by my replys ... Yet I actually find it to be very .........COOL ...lol in other words that there is some else on here that has the same passion as me ....

    Thanks again and please post some images and allow me to make or do something for ferrarichat ....
