New Pic I'm working on

Hello everyone!!

Me again, This time it's a picture of a dirtbike (go figure...) It's an "in progress" and have been working on it for about 3 hours.
Take a quick look please and let me know what you think. It's done in Illustrator and Photoshop only. I'll send it again when I'm finished...

Yeah I think I will go ahead and uninstall my photoshop because there is no way in hell I will ever be able to do something like that. How in the world did you make that? Do you have a picture you go by and use that as a refrence? How did you get it to look so real? Did you make the Honda stuff too? So many questions. That is gosh darn amazing!

VERY NICE! Colors are flawless!!!

*opens her mouth to comment than closes it again*

Really, it leaves one speechless that someone could do that in photoshop. No kidding, it really does want to make me just quit now LOL I've been working with photoshop for a few years now and i'm no where near as good as that..
wow..

Really nicely rendered - a good job. you really worked of the reflections on the front mudguard - well done.

I guess youve used a photo as a reference - actually I like the kind of "half finished" look ...helps to make a contrast . You could work on that - make it a feature. Better Illustrator skills than me if thats what u used! Painstaking

You sure you're not using streamline or somethin' to start with?!?!

/me looks around

Awesome work!:p

if I had to guess, I'd guess :
Create the paths in Illustrator...either via tracing manually or auto tracing.
Then taking those created paths to photoshop, where he creates some truly magical color illustration from them.
Am I even close?
*shrugs*
however it is done that is top notch work.

torn, thats what I think he did.. still an incredible amount of work.. but man is that a sweet image.. :eek:

Ok here's what I do...
I use a picture as reference (I'm not a god!!!) I then draw it on paper first , just a rough sketch. I then scan the drawing into illustrator and use only the pen tool to trace the drawing I did. When done I transfer it into photoshop where I use only selections and airbrush tool. hmmm, come to think of it I used noise filter on the blinkers....thats all. I DEFINETELY look at picture to see the reflections and such. I couldnt imagine coming up with that in my head. Thanks for the great comments!!

Anyone hiring any full-time graphic artists....I NEED A JOB!!!!! I'm leaving my current employer in a week!!!

Thanks again,

Jim :D
