Escape Pod Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 I've seen a few car caricatures on people's sigs and was wondering who the artist was. I'd like to network! I myself do CARtoons and wanted to know if there was a use for this type of art. Here's one of my MINIs, Hammond, done up in that style: I've devised a template where I can change the colors easily, but don't have much in terms of wheel styles (Hammond has Conical Spokes). I'm slowly expanding the options like stripes and exterior visible stuff. I'm also doing a Clubman since my other MINI is a Clubman, Clarkson is his name. The convertible/coupe/roadster variations are easy to do as well. But I do need your help so I can build my wheel library. These are the color combos I have so far: Whaddaya guys think?

Poison Ivy Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 9 times out of 10 it's probably Craig (Coop). The same guy who designs the shirts. He's not in the DC area, but he's like an honorary member for all the help he gives the club (and many other clubs). Unfortunately your graphics don't show up on my work computer so I look forward to seeing them later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poison Ivy Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 I see them now. Very cool. Looks like my CARicatures done by Ken Knafou of Central Florida Caricature. He goes to Mickey and MINI in Orlando which is where I got these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escape Pod Posted November 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 Those look good! I was more aiming for cel animation style cartoon, hence they're very basic. Plus they're easily customizable to other colors. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carman63 Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 These are really cool! If you want to give an F56 a go, let me know As mentioned, the bulk of what you see is from Craig (Coop, Cooperation are his more-known usernames). He works with a lot of MINI clubs across the US. Look for 'Planet Cooper' on Facebook to see more examples of his work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escape Pod Posted November 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 I'll do the F56 after I'm done with the R55/56/57/58/59. Sheesh, so many variations! Speaking of, I completed the Clubman, done up as my Clubman, Clarkson: Also added to my library, the 5-Star Pace Spoke wheels above.

Escape Pod Posted November 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 After the F56 Which is after the Justa and JCW versions of the R55-59, which are, generally, just fascia changes so that shouldn't take too long. I hope . . . [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escape Pod Posted November 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 That, too. And of course, the original article, the Morris Mini. In the meantime, no one with a 2nd gen want their car cartooned? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escape Pod Posted November 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 I love the coupe with those wheels. Actually, may I ask you for a favor? In order for me to accurately depict the wheels, could you please snap two photos as close as you can to these angles: When aiming the camera, keep the lens at the same height off the ground as the wheel center cap. Doing up your car gives me the chance to do the front and rocker panels of the JCW cars and I can also add those wheels to my library. Your car's Spice Orange, right? Color changes are super easy. Blacked-out headlights. Am I missing any other exterior details? One last question, spoiler up or down? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escape Pod Posted November 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 (edited) I made a slight error that I fixed on my original post with your car depicted. There seems to be a difference between pre-2011 and 2011 and newer JCW front bumper designs. It's a series of seams it looks like, that cuts the bumper into multiple pieces. Also, I blacked out your grill surround like a real JCW, but I made an error there as well because yours is still chrome. Fixed that too. The changes are reflected on the linked picture on my original post. Edited November 26, 2015 by Escape Pod [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
