FD and 8 Battle. (illustrator)
well today we had a project (my major is Visual Communications)
Final PROJECT FINISHED.
Mazda Rx-8 full spread AD
BEFORE IDEA's
FINAL WORK.
Changes: Scrapp'd both cars changed alot of the background and added alot more effects.
Both cars we made with the pen and pencil tool.
changed fd to 350z. just because , made the 350z into a cool poop color because i have a sense of humor.
I took alot of the feedback from the forum and did my best to use it.

This is awesome, given the handicaps, you're doing a great job. I just think there should be a better sense of speed, the 8 def looks like it moving but the 7 not so much so. If you incorporate the FC in the back, just coming into frame, it wouldn't be a focal point imho. Once again great job.

Yeah , im going to try to get a better sense of speed like you said, but your right the fd does look very stationary.
im probably gonna end up trying to mimic some animes with alot of speed and racing
Cough* initial d Cough*.
i also was wondering if the FC should go in the back but it would just look to cluttered then.

nice dude. im a graphic design major, soon to be Communications Design (graphic design, illustration, advertising). looks pretty good so far. are you just pen-tooling all of this by eye or are you "tracing?" is the background image made with photoshop? personally, i would leave out the FC. feels alot more focused with just the 2. cant wait to see it finished. i wish i got cool projects. im going to a terrible school right now.

i would turn the wheels of the fd in the other direction, you gave the 8 good motion by using the tire tread blur(?) which you cant do with the FD bc the wheels are turned in the other direction, kinda makes it look like the fd is parked for a photo rather than drifting

hmmmm, ill have to play with the wheel, but i do think its suppose to be going in the direction i put it in, because the driver would just be starting to put the rear out and diving into the corner, but like i said i have to play.
more depth is a great idea, due to my time constraints i did cut some corners, but i will get on that tomorrow.
Like i said EVERYTHING was done in adobe ILLUSTRATOR the cars were traced with a pen tool (which was kinda difficult due to all the cars were in mid drift with ALOT of smoke covering alot of the line). the background was LIVE TRACED with 4 colors.
the school im going to is WeSTwood college of technology and design in Anaheim,CA

o i had forgotten to answer the tool i used on the 8 wheel.
we are not allowed to play with opacity, so the blur tool was unusable .
so instead i drew up 2 layers of shade with the pencil tool.

I like your approach, but if I may suggest the sense of speed comes not from the cars themselves but from their surroundings, if you apply this same line shading to the background instead of the cars you will get the desired effect.
The front of the picture should have the most amount of blur and slowly decrease this blur until the back of the pic is static, also the front wheel of the FD should be blurred, and I think you can achieve this blur effect with proper use of your line shading.

Let me post ***** some of the pics I took at the Tail of the Dragon on NC, so that you can see what I'm talking about.

A few more, note that the foreground seems to be moving at very high speed while the background is still, also note the main objects on the pics always remain in focus
