Good for you. :icon_thumby: Most of us are too ugly to score an attractive lady to pose with our truck.
My wife is okay looking for her age, but 42 is still 42.

That's just wrong.

I've seen smoking hot women than were pushing 50. Definitely seen hot women in their 40's.

This just goes to show Vanessa I was right and she was wrong. She thought we'd get girls that would pose. I knew it was going to be a challenge.

Hey Jim,

Even if you don't get 12 girls could you maybe do 6 months with & 6 months without...maybe? Because I am really excited about taking pix & puttin them n the calendar... Jspafford is taking them the next weekend after Labor Day b/c we will b at my house & have my truck!

[Disturbed_Ranger]

You can count my girl in. I just have to take a pic of her with my truck. She'll be wearing her hooters shirt that she fills very well :yahoo:

So this makes 3. Black Beauty, Sludges girl and mine.

[ozzwoman9]

I have to wait for a new camera cable to get here.

:badidea:

Hope your wife doesn't read the forums.. :icon_twisted:

Jim, If Vanessa is going to pose then we have at least 4 women so far.

[dirtraider]

all i got right now is my girl working on my truck lol....does that count?

She doesn't. She'd never agree to a pic anyway.

[Jim Oaks]

Seeing her working on your truck reminded me of Punishers wife welding, etc on his B2. We had pictures of her working here in a thread in the forums.

well i taught her how to weld that day too, so i figure wrenching more on the truck won't be to far away...she loves to drive it so thats a plus

[Wicked_Sludge]

i second blackbeauty's idea for 6 months with girls and 6 without. if you shoot vanessa we'll be at 4, so we'd be close.

those would be some good pics too, has he been around since 'the switch'?

[Jspafford]

I may be partial, but I also think 6 with and 6 without would work best. That way the truck only guys would buy one, and the perverted guys would still buy one too.:D

[Seabiscuit]

I work with a 50 year old lady who is very attractive. Her daughter is on the cardinals cheer leading squad.

dude nobody would know if her daughter is hot scince nobody watches the cards, but if you say so. :buttkick:

[Will]

I watched them once to see how our old boy Edge was doing at his new home.

It was bad.

[4x4RangerGuy]

I'm trying to get my gf to pose with my truck, but she's worried about looking "fat". Granted, she's not the thinnest thing in the world, but she's good looking. I'll see what I can do.

it's the personality and the kindness that counts. to quote the neal mc coy song "the shake" " looks arn't that inportant"

[Jim Oaks]

I'm surprised nobody's submitted a picture yet of a model photoshoped in to the picture.

[ozzwoman9]

So, my next question would be...are these supposed to be sexy photos or just kinda everyday stuff (clothes wise). I mean I don't wanna pose in a sexy outfit when there's gonna be a big guy on the next page (no offense to anyone)...would you wanna change the page to the next month in that case LOL j/k

I need to go scout out some good backdrops...there isn't much scenic around here either.

[Jim Oaks]

Yes. Sexy pics.

[ozzwoman9]

Yes. Sexy pics.

Won't it look weird offroading or under the hood w/6" heels on? lol

[Jim Oaks]

My wife can look sexy in tennis shoes, jeans and a nice top.

[Wicked_Sludge]

exactly. "sexy" doesnt mean "heels"

mary doesnt have any shoes on in the pics we took and i think they came out pretty nice...

[JoshT]

Won't it look weird offroading or under the hood w/6" heels on? lol

Depends on how tall she/the truck is. With some of the trucks on here she may need them to work under the hood. As for offroading, that depends on what else she's wearing, if she's wearing (or shall I say not wearing) the right thing the heels will never get seen.

Sorry ladies I didn't mean for that last part to be offensive or discouraging in any way.

[anupaum]

How about a Virtual Girl? This is a low-quality image, but you can get the idea.

I couldn't get my sweetheart to agree to posing like this!

[Will]

That was---bad.

[anupaum]

That was---bad.

She's a lot cuter when she's not pasted onto someone else's photo!

Have a sense of humor, will you?

you play "The Sims" dont you? :D

[anupaum]

No, but she's completely virtual. Brenna is a character from my novels.

[anupaum]

My girl and my BII

She looks healthy and she's got a terrific smile!

If it were a cartoon Wonder Women then I would have gotten it.

It's a little creepy to me. I'll take the flesh and blood version.

Why would that be?

Computerized art is not any different than drawing with a pencil and paper, or painting with canvas and oil. The tools are different, but the basic idea is the same.


I'll take the flesh and blood version.

Well, who wouldn't? Jim made a remark about someone using Photoshop to paste a supermodel onto a Ranger, so I put the aforementioned image together and posted it here. (It was done quickly, and it's pretty obvious, but if I took some time with it you'd have a tough time telling the difference between the photo of a real girl and what modern modeling tools are capable of producing. Images that I want to look really good take more than 20 hours for me to create.)

Nobody has ever successfully accused me of having a sense of humor. I guess this confirms it . . .

[anupaum]

This is a re-do of the earlier image I posted. It's still a bit of a "quickie," as most of this kind of work takes 20 hours or more. I have about half of that invested into this one, but EVERYTHING in the image is virtual. The truck and background were rendered first, then I put the model over the top, simulated the halter (which is a real pain!), but couldn't get a dynamic skirt to work for some odd reason. (I don't like the shorts.)

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t177/anupaum/Ranger.jpg

So it's not flesh, blood and steel . . . I'm still working on trying to get my sweetheart to pose for a photo. She looked at everyone else who has posted pictures here, and now she thinks she's too old . . .

Sigh . . .

Why do women think they have to be young to be attractive??? (After 18 years of marriage she still makes my heart beat a bit faster!) :wub:

[skippy]

this calender aside,you seem to have a talent for this.maybe a different calender?your virtual rendering is cool as hell,kinda reminds me of the bike paintings in easy rider magazine.

Thank you for the compliment, but I assure you that compared to the real artists who do this sort of thing, I'm definately a "hobbiest." My talent lies in the realm of words, not images!

This sort of thing takes patience and an eye for how the camera angles and light work. Every joint in the figure has to be posed, as does the hair and face! All dynamic clothing (the halter, for example) has to be simulated, (where the "conforming" shorts are more or less plastered on top of the model), then the entire image has to be rendered.

The model you see is extensively modified from "stock," so that she looks like the character I describe in the book. The only reason I got into this was to design covers and make a more visually interesting web site. It's evolved into something far more involved (and expensive!) than casual usage, and it's driving upgrades to my computer far more quickly than would be the case if I weren't into rendering images.

It's a little bit like deciding to put a supercharger on my truck . . . One thing led to another, and soon I was swapping out the ECU! (I learned a LOT about fuel injection, that's for certain.)

There are lots of these on my newadventure web site:

My wife is 47 and i just saw this thread now. MY wife has not only agreed to pose for a picture, but wants to choose the position where she sits on the truck. Its a shame you say this about your wife... I have never laid eyes on your wife but i can tell you that MY wife is the most beautiful woman in the world and Im proud, honored and the happiest guy in the world because my wife is on my arm. She will be the most beautiful woman in the world whether shes 47, 77, or 107 in my eyes. I feel sorry for you and your wife that you dont feel the same way about your woman

Good for you! I've been trying to persuade my sweetheart to pose in front of my truck, too--and I think I'm finally making progress.

I affirm what you're saying. Where other people see wrinkles, grey hair and the long-term impact of gravity, I see a woman who has faithfully stood by my side for 18 years.

A woman doesn't have to be "mid-twenties perfect" to be attractive. Good for you!!!

[Will]

Well...

Definately you love and admire the person you've been through thick and thin with. I've not really noticed my wife go from 22 to 36 and four kids because I've been with her every day pretty much. I wouldn't trade her for the 20-something version because, as the guy says in that movie Send Me No Roses--"She loves you. Or at least she's used to you."

Being in love means you are a homer for the beloved--that's the biblical and Websters definition. You can expect lightning bolts and falling pianos if you aren't.

But in the naked light of day, Johnny O is right. Something like a calendar is for the younger women--and my surgically altered mother in law. It's pretty weird when your 25 y/o sister in law, 36 y/o wife and 62 y/o mother in law all look about the same. You have to check Ids before you grab a butt during family gatherings.
