Default Beetle Art

How about a forum for beetle drawings and art. We all so love our cars, i am sure their are many of us who have tried their hand at drawing them? Of course I have to admit a certain love of drawing. I certainly would love to post some of my drawings.

Perhaps an ORG User based advertising forum? Let the ORG users show their own Beetle art and/or commentary regarding what they would consider appropriate advertising.

Who knows someone might even get lucky...

That sounds like an awesome idea. It would give me something to do at work, and then I could post them.

Default me first then

I guess i will start then. I did this a fair few years ago, and and am not so super keen on it anymore. The wheels are a bit weak, and the compostition was poor....hence the tight cropping. For those interested, it is an airbrushing I did back when I was still studying automotive design. There is only a hint of Photoshop (the lens flair and a couple of highlights).

I will try to put some more up soon though. Perhaps some custom Beetle designs too.

I guess they shoudnt be in this thread though?

Default anybody? anybody?

No chance of a new forum topic? Would give people a place to post their photoshop jobs without making out they were real too. For me, i just love drawing and would just like a place to share my work with fellow beetle fans. You have to understand, i am a car designer by trade....there are not many of us who are in love with the beetle...they all want TTs!!!

(actually i like the TT...just trying to make a point)

You might try the Hobbies/Other Hobbies forum and start a new thread.
Although it's more than a hobby for you.

A section for any Beetle art would be awsome.

Try it out in the Other Hobbie forum first.

Start your threads with "Beetle Art:". If we see enough traffic we'll look into creating a subforum for just such a thing.
