Description ~Kitty Loves Car~

So far I have always colored my pics using a single technique. I thought it would be interesting to mix three different shading techniques in the same scene just for a change. Here it's a mixture of color saturation (car), edge-blend shading (her skin tones), and shader nodes (her outfit). This also mixes toon with regular coloring to preserve details where needed.

Hope you like it and thanks for coming by!

Thanks! There was a whole period where I concentrated on celshading techniques, and I came up with a dozen different ones shown in my gallery. This one has 4 different shading methods mixed up in the same pic!

Niiice Yaris is a very good work, Celica is good, but she don't have that smooth effect like yaris. I,m finnishing now my new drawing. A concept car, that looks like good mix of cadillac cien, lamborghini reventon & chevy stingray . I'm gonna get him online in about 2, 3 days.

I surely love the Yaris! Mine is 2 years old now but still the best car I ever had. My wife's car is too old and starting to fall apart, and now we are considering the new Zion xD, which comes with a dual-VVTi engine, where real-time variable valves timing intake and outtake are handled *separately* by the engine! Imagine the power and fuel efficiency of such an engine! O_O

Zion is a cool car man! I saw what hes engine can do on liextreme movie (and i like that tuning parts 4 him).
You heard something about Opel Tigra? That's my ride. Model whith old body. Mede in years 95'-00'. Mine is from 95'. Allmost 100HP in 1.4L ECO-TEC engine and front wheel drive. I know that 100HP is not 2 big, but that car uses every one HP that he has. I am shocked every time im driving it. He whas produced in GM Company and as i wread it good in Europe he whas sold from Opel, in GB from Vauxhall, in Australia as Holden, and whats most interesting - in US whas sold as Chevrolet. I will never say that that car is girly type (new Tigra is, but old is not).
P.S. I would say that rear window is based on Corvette

The Zion xD is 1.8L engine, so the gas mileage is not as great as the Yaris (1.5L), but the difference is of only a few miles. What about the 1.4L Opel?

xRINAGEx In reply to ken1171 [2009-07-10 19:43:00 +0000 UTC]

With 1.4 engine the gas milage is not bad. I think it's close to Yaris gas milage.

ken1171 In reply to xRINAGEx [2009-07-10 23:16:58 +0000 UTC]

The difference must be in the quick engine responsiveness on the Yaris because of the real-time valves timing adjusting from its VVT-i engine. With the Scion xD, it comes with a "Dual VVT-i" that adds more efficiency to the already responsive engine. It's like no other car I have drove before, really impressive for the $16,000 price tag.

xRINAGEx In reply to ken1171 [2010-02-21 20:36:18 +0000 UTC]

Thats true, but for $16,000 you can buy a (used) good BMW or an old one with M Power Engine.

ken1171 In reply to xRINAGEx [2010-02-21 22:38:54 +0000 UTC]

With a BMW you will spend the difference on mechanics bills, since those cars are ridiculously expensive to service in America (unless you know how to service them youself).

Thats good that my country neighbor is Germany Scion is not available in Europe. I think that i would only get him by import.

Thank you! I think I have already posted deviations using more than 10 different kinds of celshading here, to include my featured deviation with Madoka and also my very first post in my gallery. I have also posted full-motion animations in celshaded style as well. ^_^

Thank you! Actually this was not so fast to create, but I know other artists here who come with a new pic or two nearly everyday!
This was one more of my experiments with different ways to produce cel-shading looks for Anime style.
So far I think I already came up with more than half a dozen different methods, and here I even mixed 3 different ones. ^^
I am always looking for something different.

dhqx [2006-04-19 05:07:08 +0000 UTC]

the cell shading looks great- esp. on the car. i can't help but think as i look at this, that girls obsessed with cars is the same sort of thing as boys obsessed with flowers... you know, this is eye candy for all the boys out there because they get to see cars and girls in the same pictures... just like cute boys with things girls like, like flowers... well, you know this just made me think of that.

ken1171 In reply to dhqx [2006-04-19 05:53:08 +0000 UTC]

Hehe, I know - muscle car + girl is kinda cliche, but this is muscle car + CATgirl. Besides, it may be politically incorrect to assume that only men like hot cars. Who knows? It is pretty much common in Anime when women are crazy about cars or even tanks. But this pic focuses on mixing toon with realistic coloring, which is something I never tried before. It also mixes 2 different types of toon shading, which I also never tried before. In the end, I think the toon + realistic mix looks really interesting. I am always looking for different things.

only as much as it's politically incorrect to assume that only women like flowers ha ha- yes! you have the added bonus that this is a cat girl :3 I think the only way it could appeal more to men is probably if there were several cat girls, and they had guns

but yeah, the shading looks good keep trying new things and you discover lots of cool things, it seems

Thank you!! Cars are as hard to model as people, but people are harder to rig for animation than cars because they have no organic joints that bend, like shoulders, knees and elbows. Anyway, if you check the above credits, this Viper was modeled by a company called Amazing 3D Graphics, and it's a model worth $100 that I've got for free with my 3D World magazine #76 this month. For the purpose of this pic, I had to reduce the car's level of detail down to 10% of the original so that I would not run out of memory
