New Flash king on the rise!
I wouldn't have dared do a car with this bodywork, but you've done it almost flawlessly!

Well... I actually picked this car because I though it would be easy.
It wasn't too hard, but there were a few bits that stalled me for awhile.

wow, great job . I can't find a fault in this, it's perfect, but I'm not saying you can't get better. It's good to see another flash user
Keep it up

Ohh i forgot something. You can use outlines. But your's just great. Only thing i want to say is, if there was no such car or photo, that was great! But there is a photo just like the drawing so you can make it more artistic.

Yes, I realize this. I tried to maike it as realistic as possible, but I guess I took it a little too far...

I didn't think I did either. Somehow, I kept myself going untill I finished it.

IronicPurpose [2006-12-18 18:14:05 +0000 UTC]
Damn! This is great! There are no differences between the photo and the drawing You could model a 3D car instead of a vector car at this working time
I was going to say you may have used a filter before i saw the lines. But only one thing i can say is WONDERFUL. Please don't get angry but i think you could use less details to achieve more artistic effect. It just looks like photo.

Lol. First off Mike, let me just say the work is amazing. I noticed all the faults commented on, but letβs just agree that, we talking about detail beyond, what an entrained eye would catch. Perfection is the driving forces of evolution, so buddy, keep- on keeping on.
IronicPurpose; What you said is something Iβve felt for a long time, but couldnβt put into word. Youβre 100% right. What you said pertains to me as well. We spend so much time into creating the perfect replica. The process the piece undergoes to achieve realism, is nothing short of great artistry. However, it loses its artistic luster when completed, because youβve drawn a photograph of an ordinary car people are used to seeing.
One day My niece was looking through my portfolio, and completely overlooks a picture of a βford Mustangβ I drew with Illustrator. I asked her if she didnβt see the Ford, she went back and she said βOH! Wow I thought it was photographβ well you can see the irony in that. I went back to the ford, modify it, and added a little βextraβ to the ordinary. Now itβs one of the most viewed arts in my gallery.
So, Thank you both, for helping me realize something that has been sort of an enigma. My art wonβt be the same from this point on. I also want to apologize for the length of this comment

Wow! Now that looks like it took a friggin lifetime!
Wicked good attention to detail although if you zoom in there are a couple of spots which look like they've been missed.

Thank you.
Yeah, there are a few spots that I missed, but you can't really see them at the normal size. I guess that's what counts? Lol.

Thanks. Flash doesn't have filters though. Well, not like Photoshop anyway.

It does have a bitmap trace, and I think that's what he was referring to.
