Description Hey everyone! It has been a while since I posted some of my work here, mainly because of the teaching schedule I have and the fact that I didn't really do any of my personal work for the whole past summer (I was too busy learning all the new features of the CS3 Suite). But, now I am back and, in my opinion, stronger than ever. Here is the latest of my motorcycle prints... the CHINGON! I loved the reference shots for this piece, mainly due to all the chrome and amazing reflections I got from it. Took a very long time, but I am happy with it. I think I got a good balance of the "finished/unfinished" look that I use now in my work. Let me know what you think. Oh, by the way, this illustration consists of 173,867 Anchor Points in Illustrator CS3. Have fun viewing and Commenting! - Chris. (PS - It is sooooo good to be back!)

Totally amazing, How long do these creations take? I used to do pencil drawings many years ago but then photography took over.


Highly impressive, on an insane level !!

You know, I think you hit it perfectly. I think my illustrations DO make it look more interesting than the actual reality of a simple photograph. Thanks for putting it all into perspective for me.

looks great as usual !
love the chrome and the refracted light and the way it creates lots of tiny abstracted patterns throughout the piece
