Description
Ok, if anyone's interested, this is what I'm doing for uni at the moment.... lots of marker drawing. I have to do 160 of these, or 39 A2 pages with 6-8 rendered drawings per page. Then I got to do the same thing for another assignment as well. Whoopie. It would kinda help if I had any ability to use markers as well
Anyways, figured the only way to stop myself from going crazy was to draw "products" which were of interest to me. And since we get higher marks for more "complex" forms, a scooter seemed like a good starting point. Well the rest was history. So here's the Vespa 180 Super Sport from FLCL, repleat in Ducatti Racing Yellow
Unfortunately the page was far to big for my scanner, so I just put in what I could. I don't think the side of the engine is of much interest to many of you out there.
Anyways, crit, comments and chocolate always welcome.

Yep, it's a real scooter, Vespa 180 Super Sport, first Vespa to ever exceed 100kph.
There were only 38,000 made, so they're pretty hard to get hold of these days. Guess my intention of buying a Resto job one and doing it up myself could be a long way off

you tryin to get one of these Vespas?

Trying... failing. Plus finding one in the condition I want could be more than a little tricky.

lol, dont hesitate to buy it in fair condition, a little extra money never hurt anything,
and besides, you gonna paint it like Haruko's Vespa?
just so you know, it doesnt fly!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I wouldn't mind the engine being in bad condition, or even the paint. Just sorta prefer it to have all the parts and as little rust as possible.
I'd still prefer of that needs resto though, first 'cause I wouldn't feel right re-spraying a perfectly good one, and second 'cause most of my money goes on my "other" vehicle. So the scooter would have to be a long-term project, doing all the work myself to keep costs down. Just gotta find one now

Very nice... its cool to see some color work from ya! 
I dig the lil Haruko in the background, heh, though she should be driving straight at ta-kun or something

Heh, thanks mate.
Maybe she's turning around for another run or something

NICE! I love the action posse...I didn't have any chocolate so pretend this is

*uses imagination* mmmm chocolate.
Thanks mate. Chocolate is your friend. Plus it keeps the sugar levels up so you don't get a nasty case of QWERTY-itis

WTF??? "It would kinda help if I had any ability to use markers as well
Now that I KNOW, you should color more. A lot more. All the f'kin time. You reading me??
And we've already discussed how spastically cool Fooly Cooly is, haven't we?

Hey, compare this to what some of the blokes on my course are cranking out, you'll understand what I mean.
If I had a larger pallet to work with I might. At the moment I've got two yellows, two blues, two greens a black and three cool greys, otherwise known as the bare minimum the Uni requires us to have. I need two reds as well, but at eight bucks a pen plus eighteen for a re-fill bottle, that won't be happening any time soon.
And yes, we have had that conversation before... Fooly Cooly = Totally Spaced. Gotta love it.
Thanks mate.

Spaced is good. Ask her: [link]
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep, that spaced out... if not more so
Have you been trying to make your kids watch Fooly Cooly before they're capable of handling it? (considering most adults probably aren't capable of handling it this may be a moot point).
WES

No way, mate! They're just not ready...not even the oldest! 
I just thought you might get a kick out of that link's title and comments....both artist's and otherwise. Funny stuff.

And I did get a kick...
as you said, funny stuff

Haha~ Yay for FLCL. XD I still need to watch the anime--I've only read the manga.
Awesomeness as always. XDDD <3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
We'll I've done it the other way around, anime only. I don't know what the manga is like, but the anime is spaced... totally spaced. It's like the creator said "I wonder how much crack I can take and still produce an anime?" seems to have worked a treat
WES
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's sort of what the manga was like. >.o
I think your brain explodes if you try to make sense of it, or put anything in proper chronological order.
Mine did.
I was hoping the anime would make more sense. XD

Probably not, 'specially seeing as it takes some parts are in a manga style

I'm planning on order pizza and knocking out the guy so I can take his scooter if thats what you mean

Hit him with a Rickenberger Bass Guitar...
...with a chainsaw engine in it
WES
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
*LOL* Yeah... that could work... 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Replace the pizza box with a guitar case, it'll be all good mate
WES
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I want to find one in restoring condition... then make it stupidly fast
Thanks mate.
WES
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Mmm... yes! Not cheap though... a good one sells for car prices here!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, same here. Hence why I want one that needs a resto job done. Hopefully it would be cheaper.
WES
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmm... yeah.... I'd fancy a scooter too... last I checked chicks like those

I just want a fast juiced up one so I can embarrass mortorbike riders at the lights

I think you have done an awesome piece of work with the markers, i can't see many overlapping marks made and nice and vibrant
what kinda course is it? graphics? because a friend had to do the same sort ofthing in his college grphics course though the idiot dopped out right before the sexam after saying "i never want to work in a shop all my life!" >.<

Thanks mate, considering your marker work that means a lot.
It's an Industrial Design course. So designing anything from Black and Decker toasters to the inside of jets to car body shells and the like. Man, what's the point of dropping out just before the exam? You've been there that long you may as well stick it out till the end.
WES
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
that does sounds like a cool course thoughit sounds like it would end up being a bit to technical for me.
As for my mate he didn't really like his course but it didn't mean he ws crap at it so god knows why he left so late i mean get bored of a course 4 weeks in, leave then, get bored of a course stickit out and drop before an exam, thats bein a dumb @$$.
and it's very nice work, alotof people grab markers and think "FELTS!" and procede to waste them 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Pantone Trias. They're the one's the Uni told us to buy. Personally I think it was just a ploy to get us to give Eckersley's (the art store) more money 'cause they're expensive as all hell. Working on bleedproof as well, so there goes more precious cash down the drain
WES
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i work on bleed proof a4 paper BUT i got mine free when I baught my copic markers (they do alot of deals in there) ther eis no best markers though each artist will like one personal set but there artist who can aford to buy three different sets.
as for the bleed proof paper sometimes it isn't good. I have a blender pen and bleed proof stops pens bleeding, the blender pen BLEEDS THEM >.<
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmm, blender pen. May invest in one of those. Yeah, we work on A2, pain in the proverbial to carry around with you (can't roll it) especially on a bus or train.
We get a 10% student discount... and it's still bloody expensive. Yeah, there is no best marker, everyone has different opinions. Not quite as many opinions though as when it comes to detali pens, or even worse the: whiteout pens vs. white Gel Pens vs. white gauche for doing highlights debate
WES
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
wait this is reeeeal creepy but there is an art shop exactly the same here for our college! though we arne't told to go thre it has the best stuff, even with our 10% discount its so exspensive!
i've never been part of that debate seeingas I use white ink on copic markers what works ou well cause the copics soakin the white and it fades you can build up layers
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, the three nib ones, those are the one's we're using. There's actually a few art shops around, but everyone goes to the same place 'cause it's a) closer and b) cheaper with a bigger range.
I'm liking the gauche at the moment, nice and flexible, how you mix it up will give differnt opacities and the like... I'm gonna shut up now, sounding a little too art nerdish for comfort
WES

to art nerdish erm lets think CAR!! GUNS! P-90 that better
anyway erm yes BIKES with girls on in military... bikinis!
