Wow, your toons always make for great "eye-candy."

I wish Expressions had a channel feature, I will have to use layers to create color seps.

Nice work, great look to the "ghosting" of the wheel/fender for the layout background.

Nice toon Lemorris, I love it.

Just a question, how do you avoid jagged edges when rendering in Photoshop?

really nice. are you going for a rat rod look. i was just wondering because the silver/grey with red seems to scream hot rod. anyway really really nice work.

[lemorris]

it was supposed to be a semi-rat rod Ghia. There's a small VW movement all about the rod look

Alex,

The key to not getting jaggy lines lies in resolution. I render all cars at 300 dpi. When you zoom in you can see the jaggy edges because it is pixel based (little squares of colour). That is the inherent difference between Pixel and vectors. vector lines are based on mathematical algorithms while pixel images are based on squares of colour and the interpolation between like pixels.

I got jaggy lines on my rough print layout because I selected the backgound around the car and expanded it by 1 pixel at a low resolution. When I do that same thing at 300 dpi you won't see any jaggy lines.

300 dpi is a fairly accepted resolution for most printing nowadays. Even magazines accept 300dpi tiff, eps, or in some cases PDF files. In general when I'm submitting art for magazines or other publications and they specify a PDF file (mostly my catalog stuff) I actually write those out at 600 dpi.

Hope that helps.
