Fantastic! Incredible detail right down to the tread pattern on the tires.

You are extremely talented. I can't wait to see your next piece.

You definitely have a talent for drawing..I would bet if some vette owners (and you) were interested, you could draw pics of their cars and they could compensate you for your time..

I had a few people ask from the forum, but no one has ever followed through. My average time to do one of these, not including any research just drawing time is 20-25 hours, this one took me over 30 hours. I was offering originals for what basically turns out between 3.50-4.00 an hour, but nobody took me up, ahhhh well, I will eventually have prints made of all of my stuff so right now I'm just thinking that I am stocking up for that time and drawing what I enjoy , which is Chevy products and especially Corvettes!

Chad,

This looks great. I couldn't take a photo of a Vette that looked that good. Keep it up. I have a custom 944 I would love to have one of these done of, think you could stomach a car like that? What size are the orginals? Depending on the size a hand draw piece of art like this for the ballpark of $90-$100 sounds very resonable to me.

My '77 is FAR from being ready for something like this but one day hopefully. If nothing else I am sure you will get alot of copies sold here.

Thanks F40LM, I like all cars. I love Corvettes! All of the pics you guys see here are 11"X14" , which is really, I think, a perfect size. If you want to discuss anything just PM and I will gladly respond......

~Stingray,
Yes , I can and have drawn people. Just contact me via PM and we can talk, if you wish.
You can go to my flickr page and see the pic of a little girl I drew for her parents, the link is here, http://www.flickr.com/photos/63451518@N02/ look on page three.
And again, thanks everyone for the nice words!!!
