Here's mine. Not done yet, it needs all of the color added as well as the rear set of ITB trumpets highlighted and some spots finished up. Really hope I can swing to get it finished when I'm home for the holidays (artist is in Chi).
I wanted something to signify how my automotive love makes me who I am. I didn't want a branded label, so instead of a vehicle specific road car engine, it is a Cosworth-Ford DFV V8. Most wins for an engine in racing history. over 30 years in use. Glorious days when everything was mechanical. I need to speak with the artist about the effects of it too. Original discussion was that it was to fade out all 360* around to make it mimic the automotive photographs where they take the same picture hood open and hood close and then have the hoods fade away to reveal the engine inside. It does fade on the edges but does not have that below the surface/skin effect that I want. Still looks like its just tatted on top.
