This is my interpretation of a typical American hot rod. Hot rods originated in southern California when returning WWII soldiers wanted to create an American equivalent of the light and nimble sports cars of Europe (MGs, Alfa Romeos, etc). Suped up engines mostly V8s were swapped in place of the original motors. To help improve performance body parts were often removed. Fenders, bumpers, hoods, running boards were often shed to increase the horsepower to weight ratio of the vehicle.
In this image I used a late 1920s, early 1930s sedan body as the basis for the car. Powered by a early model Ford flathead V8 which
is supercharged with three carburetors. The roof of the sedan has been chopped to reduce it's height.
I created the car from scratch using 3D modeling apps. The bulk of the modeling was done in Hexagon 3D and Silo 3D. For UV mapping I used 3DCoat. Textures were created in Photoshop and applied in Vue Complete 2015, where the scene was als rendered.

Ken has been interested in art since an early age (born in mid 1950s) and one of the first things he drew before the age of five was images of cars. Automobiles, mostly the American classics and hot rods are Ken's passion. In 1983 he restored a 1960 Corvette which he still owns and drives in the summer. Ken has been employed in the IT industry since the 1980s where he became exposed to digital art. He is a self taught digital photographer and digital artist using tools like Photoshop, Lightroom, Corel Painter and Artrage as well as 3D modeling and rendering apps like Hexagon, Vue Complete, 3DCoat, DAZ Studio, Groboto3D, Silo3D & 3D Coat. In some of Ken's digital illustrations he will combine hand drawings with digital photo elements...
