Transformers New Bumblebee Camaro - One for the Boys

Camaro Concept - Bumblebee
I finished watching the first of the new Transformers movies this past week and felt inspired to do a newer version of a piece that I did last year.  At the car shows we go to, it's always the Transformers posters that sell out first.  My heart still skips a beat during the part of the movie when Bumblebee "scans" the new Camaro driving by, and then pulls up triumphantly as a the new and improved Bumblebee!  This is one of top my dream cars.

P-40 Warhawk Meets the Chevy S10

P-10 Warhawk 
This is obviously a conceptual design I thought up.  I tried to build a retro-modern version of a hot rod roadster that could be built like they did in the old days using various parts of other cars, and anything that could be found.  For example the nose piece on the P-10 comes from a 1950 Studebaker, which actually was designed after the WWII bomber planes.  Who knows, maybe someday I'll build an S10 conversion kit so that this concept can become a reality!

Candy Apple Green Chevy S-10

Satin Black and Red Steelies with Wide Whites- Classic

Fresh Green Apple S10 Dipped in Pinstripes
All in a day's work! I've actually had the line drawing of this truck done for a while, so decided to finish the whole piece today.  This is not how I planned to finish it, but I like the outcome.  I will be doing a fighter jet themed S10 soon, as well as a retro '67 S10 (or design it as if they built them in 1967).  I love this color green, it's intense and screams look at me!  The Satin Black S10 is more likely one that I would build.

Fighter Plane Pin up Rosie
Rosie is an American Icon.  She was an inspirational spokesperson to women during WWII.  We owe a great deal to the hard working women who labored overtime in the factories to produce the military equipment which won us the war!  Today she is still an inspiration to women and men alike, and I hope this tribute to her does her justice.  Any prints or shirts I can sell of this will go toward furthering my education.  I hope to attend Wyotech after I have graduated with my bachelors (BFA) in Illustration in July. "We Can Do It!"
