Nah, it was just an exercise.

Thanx Charger & Blip.
I have never been a strong color guy.
I think it is the digital thing.
Mine all seem too saturated.
I still want to mess with this one.

Here is a 348. One of those boxy 90s cars. :)
Tried to paint it to look like a pixel car.
Why are they always from the side or front?

Why don't rich kids mod ferraris?
Here is a 348 with a 90s era williams F1 engine. :smokin:
I have heard of 1000 + hp r34s. Why not ferraris?
It is the new trend.

i'm not sure that slight oversaturation is a bad thing.

it's your style, develop it and see how it goes.

LMAO, as you mentioned 1000+ Hp skylines last night, the ad at the bottom said "600+ HP Skylines for sale!" LMFAO. I'm with Simon though, I really like your style. It's very... realistic but not. Like Pacaso and people. You knew they were people, but they just didn't lok real. Awesome.

Thanx Fishstick, simdel1 and HONU! I thought yall didn't see my cool euro Tuner. :) I would love to see somebody put a f1 engine in a street car. :) Just the sound of those things is ungodly. They sound like a 1000 pound mosquito with an afterburner. I saw a top gear where needle took an "out of date" ferrari race car to the track and it was so freakin fast. Just hard to imagine.

BTW I didn't know that there was a ferrari tuner culture. It must be exclusive. Or expensive. Those things are way expensive to work on.

And about the style I am workin on. Thanx for the encouragement. I have alot more fun not trying to painfully recreate a photo like I used to. It really is hard work if you draw every mechanical detail of a car or face with vectors. I think I must have gotten lazy or bored.

Thanx for the awesome comments. :)

Here is one from today. Took about 6 hours off and on.
Wish I could change the thread name To just GT.
Made some changes. Made door vent longer and lowered it.

Thanx for the reply fishstick :)
You are right about the back wheel.
It is kind of outta perspective or something.
Instead of drawing it twice,
I duplicated it and placed it wrong.
:grinyes:
I am trying hard to work and improve at this stuff.
I have lots of time for a change.
And will be posting in the same thread - trying new styles.

Hey Al :)
I went to school for it and worked for a while in a few tshirt shops
as a designer. But I have just not done so well since getting out of school. :)
Man the market is tough. Hope I can use this time to get better and find real work.
Here is a new Lemans Car and a Diablo. The racecar is a little crooked.

Wow! I luv the Lambo rendering. I have that hotwheels model. I hope to render one someday.

Well man, sorry to hear about the market being bad. Have you tried to get into advertising/marketing?
