I found a fun and FAST way to communicate ideas via my blog using the new cartoon shader and Photoshop. Again, these are not amazing shots but they communicate clearly and in a fun way. Spent about 2 hours on all of them.

I like it, John! :D
Wonderful and perfect use of tooning! Slick, appropriate to the media and message, and to the point. What's really interesting is that the color shot (real) looks like a well done KeyShot rendering. Getting scary!

Great application John!! Love it!
Appreciate the feedback. I wasn't going to share this because it was so quick. However, I have had a handful of folks want to know how I did it. What I like about this type of blog illustration is the combination of toon shading with photo-realistic shadows. It is a new look (to me anyway) and I plan on making it a staple when the situation requires.
Oh, and they were fun to do too! Getting paid to have fun is about as good as it gets yes/no? :)

Those are really great John.
Did you use a stylus to draw the lines in Photoshop? I don't think many could do that with a mouse.

I doodled in the lines using a Wacom Cintiq and Photoshop. You are correct, I couldn't have done this with a mouse.
