Oh no not this guy again!!!

[RiegerMti]

What's up fellas? It's been a loooooooong minute since I been on here. Just wanted to check in and say hi again. As most of you know I was the guy with the drawings a while back, it seems like there's been a lot of people jumping on the drawing bandwagon lol.. Well I had not done any portraits of a BMW since august or so, but I started this one tonight it's a two canvas painting done with acrylics on canvas. It's a LSB E46 M3, I thought of BFC as soon as I started it, looking for some comments on what color I should do the background. Here's a pic of just the right side so far. Looking forward to getting into painting and possibly gonna start selling some work again for those interested. I been trying my hand at painting and I actually enjoy it very much.

Anyway, it's nice to be back. I hope I'm still welcomed around here.

[Neds Bimmer]

I like the m3, do you do this for a business or just for fun?

[garf]

I remember when I first stumbled on one of your old drawing threads, stunning work. I would not be surprised if you did sketches or artwork for advertisement etc. Really extraordinary finesse and attention to detail in your work. As for the background, maybe some charcoal gray with some colours splashed around in it?

[The Ripe Punani]

You should really consider selling some of these. Even if it's not your profession, I could definitely see you making some money with these.

[Bigbores Bro]

nice art :buttrock

[2000mkoop]

awesome! very very nice

[adamnur]

You're extremely talented. Nice work

[propcar]

I recently got into painting and I love it. You do great work, inspirational!

[M3in]

black or gray background to bring out the blue in the car

[FastrTHNu]

that is some serious skill right there. That 1098 is just friggin' sick.

[Luminossi]

those are pretty amazing, very nice stuff

[n0n0perational]

great work, wish i could do stuff like that, arts just not for me though

[greenE36]

Wanna draw my car? Haha! Great work!

[Tadpole]

hell i'd buy the m3 painting the way it is. but a grey would be my choice for color though.

[Bobby Autogeek]

WOW! Very talented. Awesome looking paintings & drawings.

[RiegerMti]

Thanks guys, I look forward to possibly picking up some work. I'm sure the M3 paintings Im working on now will be for sale shortly. I'll be posting more pics as I get it done.. The LSB M3 one is 18x24 if anyone is interested in the size.

[whitebeast]

I wish i was good at something :(

Those are sooo good! I had too go over them a few times to make sure they werent pics. Haha.

[LeontiyZHP]

Awesome stuff!!

[GTRSv]

maybe add in a racetrack as the background? or a bmw meet? :dunno

but +1 to whoever said you should consider selling these.. they are amazing, and you have unbelievable artistic abilities...just sayin :)

[GTRSv]

grrr double post

[Inv3ctiv3]

Great work as always but I think I prefer your drawings more.

[oxen]

man i am very impressed by your work.
if i had the extra $ i would prove it.

[kanovic]

looks great man

[RiegerMti]

Worked on it a bit more.

[vtbimmer]

Very nice work! I would love to get all of my past car photos transfered to acrylics/canvas. My photo's of each are losing their color. These paintings look amazing and would last forever!! :thumbup:

[ilya1585]

Just curious, how much would a piece like that go for once completed.
Your an amazing artist btw...

[RiegerMti]

This same exact 18x24 I will sell for $250.. Framed BMW "prints" of the same size sell for almost that on fineartamerica, that's for a copy.

Like the new BMW commecials say "why buy a copy, when you can have the original" ;)

[Gatekeeper]

welcome back, been wondering where you went off to... looks like you kept busy!

[wve46]

wow man very very nice! I like to paint too and I think my next painting will be of a car. I usually only do landscape although I did paint a set of H&R race springs in a box once haha

http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u109/studdly_studright/resizedspringsdigital.jpg

keep up the good work man!

[CrazyxMidget]

always loved your drawings

[RiegerMti]

Thanks guys. Look forward to new projects and getting more work done.

[rayyLo]

you have some serious talent

[tejawxyz]

Seriously, you have great talent. You can make money off of it

[playnwithgunz]

I would pay money for you to do something of my 2 m3's. Seriously you should offer soothing because I know you would make money. My wife said she would buy pics done of our dogs or even some horse stuff. This is great work keep it up.

[RiegerMti]

Thanks guys! I listed it on ebay if anyone is interested in it.. I didnt put a buy it now on it and the price is set pretty low. If you know anyone with a LSB M3 send them the link, maybe they'd like to have this.

[ilya1585]

You should make a thread with everything youve ever drawn. I know ive seen pics scattered through a multiple page thread before. But yea, def do that.

[BenBMW94]

[RiegerMti]

Nice work here, but that quote is from a Lexus commercial lol

[RiegerMti]

Hahahaha.. I thought it was a BMW commercial, I could be wrong.


Anyone interested in the m3 painting?? Put a bid on it.. Help a broth out!


Edit: I was wrong, it is a Lexus commercial hahaha, you can tell how much attention I pay to commercials.

[regpaq]

[RiegerMti]

[M13]

Glad to see you back buddy.

I must say you're great to work with and highly recommend your work to anyone interested. What makes it great is you check in with progress, accept feedback, and make changes as necessary.

I'm going to be needing your services again in the near future.

[Apex000]

i can not get over that E46 painting . O_O

[RiegerMti]

Hey C what's up man... I'm looking forward to hooking you up with something man! Let me know. I'm mostly working with acrylics and stuff now but I can still do graphite stuff, and my prismacolors are getting better and better.

Thanks again to you guys.

Apex000: buy it man, then you can look at it all day in person

;)

[Hugo D]

Nice work!
I would be interested in that kind of art.

[RiegerMti]

Hugo let me know if you'd ever be interested in commissioning some work.

Thanks again guys, there's about 1 day and 10 hours left for bidding.. Lots of lookers and watchers but no bids yet :(

[KHM3R]

got an online gallery somewhere? I'm looking for some good e36 pictures to admire :D

[RiegerMti]

About 30 minutes left!!!

^ I'm working on a gallery, where you will be able to buy prints and such! Should be an E36 painting popping up on there soon!

[daniellihomes1]

Amazing work! That ducati painting is sick.

[VSMotorsports]

Nice work! That would be awesome to have hanging up around the shop!

[RiegerMti]

^ Maybe we can set up a package deal.. I'm doing the same for a friend's shop here in Tampa..

[2000mkoop]

sweet, I won the auction, this beauty is mine!

I'll take some pics when i get it and put it up :buttrock

[RiegerMti]

Woot!!! Those are some sick m coupe portraits you have there!! Makes mine look like crap :(

have you seen my m coupe drawing?? It's up on my fineartamerica.com profile.

I look forward to possibly some more comissioned work! Here's a ltw painting I just finished that sold today..

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm82/IMontoto/photo-195.jpg

giclee prints are available if anyone is interested...

[2000mkoop]

A friend of mine from college did the M Coupe paintings; Between my father and I, we ended up having him do like 20 or so paintings (mostly muscle cars) but he only worked in black/white, so the color of the M3 painting is refreshing

[RiegerMti]

Nice!! I'd love to do a big portrait of a classic muscle car.. Maybe sometime in the near future.

[Walter White]

Fantastic work!
