    Here's the photo that I'll be using as about 60% of my reference the rest of the image will be made up by combining references from other images . The first big major change is that one of the criteria is that it has to show wheels and tires. So I'll be modifying the front tire to look as if they are turned hard left.

    Next major obstacle will be to add in more colors so I chose a nice picturesque photo to use in the backdrop behind the rocks and trees. Hopefully it all comes together nicely.

    Thanks, I only ever made that one just to see how it went. The size of the design and the position were all wrong. I could make it again at some point now that I know where the issues are. If your not in any hurry I could probably get to it next month. Unfortunately I've got many coals in the fire at the moment, I think I need to wrap up my some of these projects first before I tackle that one again.
    On the plus side I am going to get lots of practice over the next few weeks though, I'm helping a friend who does this as a side job to print the Northeast T-shirts that are on sale right now. So what ever practice I get these next couple weeks should only make my Tshirt a better product when I get to it! :D

    If and when you get to it, I am down for one. The simple single color print on the grey shirt looks excellent.
    The portraits are super-cool. When I capture the right photo, I will definitely hit you up for one if you are still at it.

    Excellent, I'll let you know when I start working on it again. As for the truck portraits, my plan is to be doing this for a long time so I'll still be doing when your ready. :thumbsup:
