more simple shapes that i airbrushed in photoshop.
still working on getting a personal style for doing cars.
also got a freaky new flash site.

The new site looks great!

Your style is great, kind of Art Deco like.
That direct side view is often a tough one for me
to get the overall proportions to look right.

thankyou guys!
you two rock.

alex the only thing i don't dig about my site
is the way it crops my stuff into a circular shape.
i might link the bigger pix to the circles.
and thanx about the bg stripes. they read kind of
like those wind tunnel things.

blip - i like the side view to help me make the car
more of a flat design. i have learned that the art deco
work from the 20s was based on egyptian style art.
vectors are perfect for working in profile..

that is cool, it's some kind of , well, new kind of car art... it's not copying a car and not really designing, allthough it has parts of both... it's just a very good artwork. The only thing in this one is that it has, imo, too much different colors... I'd have left the red helmet out... but that's just my oppinion.

Keep it up, you have your very own style!

Yup you is cool lol........ hiya im a newbie hows things?

thanx knight vision. awesome crit.i like that modern cars are trying to
go the same route - where they are making their cars look retro and new.
they are stuck a little in between styles and eras.
the style that i am workin' is kind of in between styles and eras too.
not really 100% original and not a redesign of an old car. and not a traditional way of
making car designs and not all new technique either.

and thanx clio! i am going to have to try one of those sport v6 24v's.
coolest pocket rocket super car ever.
