Sigma drawings

Post by **ddt** » Sun Dec 19, 2010 4:05 pm

There's already a thread with some sigma drawings, but that thread was intended for galant pics and is in the galant section so i thought the sigma section deserves it's own one too!

Well, the family and kids are overseas for 6 weeks which means i can waste time doing 'unproductive' stuff like polishing rims and trying to get my artistic mojo back.

I've just finished it now. The rabbit is a character I've had for years, so far he only exists in loose drawings and birthday cards etc but I hope one day i can let him have an adventure (complete with outrageous chase scenes involving his trusty sigma wagon!).

(pic seems to come up a bit bright in Internet explorer, on my PC at least, but nevermind)

Thats awesome mate, love the bunny. I have a similar thing, he is a surfie guy that has been in sketches for years but never made it further.
I wanna see some more over the next 6 weeks

That's a very good pic.
I'm impressed

Maybe something might need to be done about that

Maybe a collective drawing post?

Been seeing lots of cool colourful signatures pop up on S-G these days so thought i'd make my own too.
I wanted it banner style so it didn't take up too much room. I thought having the rabbit peeling off a massive launch in the wagon would be suitable.

very nice i like your style

Thanks a lot guys, glad you like em.
I had an idea for an 'Astron-man' comic strip ages ago which i thought would be amusing -if i can ever overcome the massive motivational down-forces then i might have a crack at it some day. Until that happens I'll be just doing the odd sigma drawing here and there.

Hey ddt, I would like to submit my surfie comic nemisis for a rabbit companion if your keen, not sure it is a good team?
That might be the key?

Post by **ddt** » Wed Apr 27, 2011 2:29 am

Yeah, man -i'd really like to see your characters and ideas.
As i mentioned above the Astron-man character i had in mind was gonna be like a normal guy that transforms into Astron-man (kind of like the Hulk). He doesn't really have any super-powers except for being able to do amazing things with an Astron motor with a snap of his fingers. Mainly he was supposed to help people out but he'd have a nemesis like Falcadore man or Bogan-dore man or something!

The rabbit was supposed be in a much darker comic world inhabited by mysterious 1930's era gangster types and ninja foot-soldiers which are all out to get him -but he doesn't know why. He packs twin revolvers and drives a sigma wagon.

What's your surfie character all about?

Hadn't really though about it that hard to be honest, he just sorta turnded up, lol. Think I need to see the Dr. today so will add some pics later if I get the chance.
I guess thinking about it he used to be a surfie, maybe now with our kids massive American influence and their lack of great surfers he is more like a skatie, but I have seen him surf,

hey guys,just a bit off topic but did they ever make those framed pics of sigma's like they do most of the other cars??

I have never seen any. But it's possible there might have been a GH turbo one in the 80's?

i want one with a GHturbo and a gk gsr..it will look awsome!

Post by **ddt** » Thu May 12, 2011 3:56 am

I've been liking the old Scorpions these days so that means the rabbit gets to take a nice yellow GH scorp out drifting for a change.
Of course sunroof fitted for that glorious 'wind through the ears' feeling. :-)

Weeee!

Post by **75wagon** » Thu May 12, 2011 5:25 pm

Very good.
You've captured the style of the car perfectly.

Going to venture into drawing Galants and Lancers anytime soon?

Post by **Sparkington** » Thu May 12, 2011 8:54 pm

They are awesome drawings

Thanks for sharing

Post by **ddt** » Fri May 13, 2011 2:29 am

Thanks, i made extra effort to get the lines right for the scorpion as it's such a great shape with lots of nice design details.

Going to venture into drawing Galants and Lancers anytime soon?

hmm I might give an LA lancer a crack at some point as they are quite unique looking and would be interesting to draw otherwise maybe a GD galant like Shuggy's in all its' A57 sportspack glory.

Post by **ddt** » Sat Oct 08, 2011 2:06 pm

last night i got wondering how a traditional rally-scheme in the S-G colours might look on a Scorpion, so i photoshopped the yellow scorp i drew earlier.
I like it! (well i prefer it to the yellow at least). I've also got my 'radioactive tri-diamond' logo i designed a while back on it. If i ever get round to getting a turbo 2.6 in the GE wagon (or a hypo N/A), i'd definitely get some vinyl stickers made up for rear window or something.

lol....looks like DDT is the only one who knows how to draw here

Post by **ddt** » Fri Oct 28, 2011 4:27 am

i decided to have a go at drawing an LA Lancer. Here it is. It was gonna be dark green initially cos most of them seem to be that colour but red ended up looking better, i thought.

Hey DDT, these are realy good!!!

Are you sketching with pencil etc or are these done on the pc??

cheers

Thanks Bruggz351

I usually draw in pencil first and ink it. Then I scan and do the colouring on the PC. I use coloured markers sometimes too but I find them a bit troublesome for colouring cars because you get the paper texture come through when you scan.

Love your work..

Don't have a creative bone in my body when it comes to artwork, but, I can appreciate the time you have put in to do this for S-G and truly appreciate your effort.

People give back in different ways, just wish more people did. Makes for a better community.

Doesn't always have to be about "how fast" or "how many RWkw" your car makes, although that helps the new members believe in the fact that the older mitsubishi's and Chryslers are worth the effort, it's helping another member out that will stick in the mind far longer.

Cheers.

Haven't drawn anything for a long while so thought it was time to draw the wagon again and maybe update my banner.
The wagon is actually running Globe montego rims (from GH turbo) but they are tricky to draw -so drew some generic JDM style barrels instead

I like your drawing style DDT, very nice.

Here is one of my car i finally finished a while back

Post by **ddt** » Sat Apr 26, 2014 10:44 am

Nice one, bac013 -super smooth!

You should put up some others you have too.
