General Lee Artwork

Description

A friend of mine really wanted the General Lee in his logo for an upcoming car show but I didn't want to do some cheap filter photographic manip of it. I decided at first I was just going to do a bunch of basic fills using the polygonal lasso tool in Photoshop but after awhile I decided to really detail this image of the General Lee.

I did use photo reference at first but wound up having to deviate away from it a bit to get more details in that couldn't be lifted from the low res source.

All in all I think this turned out pretty good. It is all fills in photoshop, no gradiants because I didn't want a photo-real look - I wanted something more artistic but not an airbrushed look.

This took me collectively about 8 hours over two days to complete. I just threw in the background so it wouldn't look like a car floating in white or black space.

From this angle, sadly the General Lee letters and confederate cross are not viewable. Nice big 01 though, right down the door handle and the Charger letters in the grill.

Enjoy!
