Wow, that's cool! I hope they were waterproof markers :D

THAT IS ******* SICK!

a lot of pics floating around on the net of this car. It looks cool in every one of them too.

Agreed. That car is pure sex.

[lemminglover]

Lambo's are yellow - it's the natural order of things. This is messing with nature :p

[SnowManZ]

I would like to know how much the artist paid for such an extensive pallet. Good PS work. I'd be interested to see where the original shot was taken.

Hey Ive been married for 14 yrs and that aint sex :lol:

Cool photo

Cool photo
You've been married for 14 yrs...can you even remember back that far?

[jde95tln]

Wow!! Someone had a lot of time on their hands to draw all of that on a car!

[Nates98cbr]

I think it looks cool. Is this for real or Photoshop work?

This is freaking awesome, in every respect. Kudos on a FANTASTIC shot!

[Iakonafuji]

I wonder how the artist was able to "draw" on the windows. Also,would the body have been given a couple good coats of clear to protect it? Regardless beautiful shot

It could easily be done with Sharpie white paint markers , or simple as laying down some white vinyl.

holy sweet car batman! that effing sweet

Spot on ...

Lambo's are yellow or grey in case of the reventon ...

You have to be mad to do such a thing :lol:

[Caspita]

I will attempt to answer as many of the comments...

I forgot the exact number of sharpie markers the artist went through but its in the 100's. There is definitely some sort of clear coating on the body of the car, it is apparent the closer you get. The windows are done with silver sharpie. I can not remember the name of the artist, but he is pretty well known. The whole process took a couple of weeks.

There was clearly some pp work involved in this photo. The car belongs to the owner of Prestige Imports, and I am tying to pick him up as a client. Hope he enjoys it as much as some of you have!

[REXTi]

it looks nice but it also looks like you swapped that car into that backdrop as the wheels dont look like they belong on that ground if that makes sense.

[Caspita]

the wheels dont look like they belong on that ground if that makes sense.

I darkened the wheels to go along with the rest of the darkness/contrast look of the scence, but it looks much better in the hi-res version.

[GVal]

Is the sky edited in?

[Caspita]

Is the sky edited in?

It has just been converted to B&W, and the contrast has been bumped a bit

it's ok - it's on a cheap lambo! ;-)

[tomd]

The artist forgot to do the side mirrors. :D

Well since we're all extremely high paid photographers...this is equivalent to chump change for most of us :lol:

[sumyungguy]

The car, background, and sky aren't put together very well. Its really obvious that they were put together. Try using a softer brush when layer masking to create softer joining lines.

Personally I prefer my Lambos in orange.

It's a real car, just the photo might be a composite..I dunno.

[Wyn]

the lambo has tattoos!!! lol its nice but not my style

[PhotosGuy]

Lambo's are yellow - it's the natural order of things. This is messing with nature I tend to agree, but it's a really nice shot.

you forgot orange for the diablo vt 6.0

[karissa_lynne]

that is so awesome, and the photo is stunning

[_aravena]

There went the value on that car :rolleyes:

Be interesting, is it worth more now being a a canvas masterpiece or less because, well it's marked on. Only Lambos can have this done, try it to a Ferrari and heads will roll!

Google brings up a lot, there's also a Flickr page.

that is a great photo!

from my experience, faded sharpie ink turns purple over time...

I've read your site, and it was genuinely an inspiration to me; As someone who has always doted on Lamborghini's since a young age, the idea of owning one seems so very distant.. But the site gave me a little bit of hope :D

That said, you have no idea how much I envy you, lol.

[ancientsanskrit]

IIRC wasn't there one that was gold plated? I think I recall pictures circulating the internet a few years back.

I'm not digging it at all. I actually feel bad for that poor car. Nevertheless, a wonderful picture.

[jbdavies]

Personally... I think it ruins the car. Cars are made to be driven, not become a piece of art work. The car itself is art, it doesn't need any help from anyone. But, I must admit, that was pretty cool looking.

[Jadam]

I love it. Best looking lambo I've seen. Anything can become art. And to be honest super cars are perfect pallets for it. They are cars that in general respect are not daily drivers, and are use more as show cars cruising around town anyhow. If someone did this to their daily driver ford focus I think that would be less acceptable.

[CorzyPhoto]

That is for sure a sweet shot of the car..

As for the lambo... One word for that: Wow.

Very well stated...

Thanks for all the compliments

[digitalh3lix]

great pic. nice car.

[agphotography]

Personally I think that is badass purely because it is ABSOLUTELY unique and you will not ever see another one exactly like it.

I enjoy unique cars :)

[aero.nz]

Wow that is incredible! great shot, and the car wow! those lambos are so nice!

Is the owner going to keep it like that?

[Jbs]

goddamn thats sick

[PhotosGuy]

IIRC wasn't there one that was gold plated? Pushing the "LOOK AT ME!" factor to new, ridiculous limits. Maybe they could use it in a Viagra ad, "You don't have to gold plate your car anymore to get "attention"? ;)

sweet car! i can tell that wasnt the sky to the original pic given the lighting on the sides of the overpass.
