Design for Skateboards

Hey! I started working on some designs for skateboards some time ago. I tried different ideas to work along. I tried different color and backgrounds. This are some ideas to make custom boards, along with some free software that you can use to design, and where to set a shops online. Skateboarder will be able to make their own boards at the end.

Street Warrior

I made this design, I called it Street Warrior. It was inspired by the way a fighter jet looks like from the bottom view. I made the camouflage in photoshop, and the missiles in vectors. I made the missiles to give a feel for a skull smiling.

Stadium skateboard

I made this design with different programs. For the stadium I used Maya, which is an 3d package ("blender" can work also). I gave the colors to the design with photoshop. I really wanted to go with the colors red black and white (they always go well together). The stadium is actually inspired by the Colosseum, and that's how this design came about.

Blue Dragon

Dragons are always interesting to design. I wanted to make something with a dragon, so I made the design in an abstract style, and made the background with different layers.

Ninja 02

This is the ninja design. I first made it with painterX, I made the backgrounds on photoshop, and played with the layers. The character is holding a sword upwards, and used the colords of fire.

Wolf skateboard

For the wolf skateboard, I used painterX. I used red and black, this colors are very powerful, so I like using that combination whenever I can.

Kid kung fu

I wanted to go against what is normally seen in skateboards, all the wild designs that are popular, and also wanted to do a more traditional art style. I first drew the design with a gel black pen, which is the most conformable way for me to work. I scanned it, and in photoshop I used one of the artistic filters. which i liked, I believe it was stamp, I used this soft blues, to make the end product.

Prepare for battle

This deck was done with a black gel pen by hand. I scanned the image and imported it into photoshop. I played with the filters, and layers. I imported another image of a soldier which was from a painting I had made, and played with the layers. The character is holding a sword,
