I'm proud of this

Was doing some logos with the pen tool when I realized that I was pretty good with all the vector stuff, and I decided to try something a little more complicated. So here it is - all vector from Photoshop.

C&C would be great - I'm really getting to like this style and I want to get better at it. There are sure to be a couple glitches or things I could do better in this. Thanks.

hey that is very very good
well - maybe you found your "thing" tom - who knows - keep at it - you're good

you may want to overlap the vector shapes to prevent those white lines where two shapes meet...
the wheels need a little rounding too

DAmn, son, You hit the jackpot

other than the wheels, it's great

Thats awesome :D

omg, i would love to draw that good. That is sweet!

i wish i had talent :(

*goes to the corner of the forum to sulk*

Did you build that off of anoher image?

Hot stuff, man. How did you do that..? Quick run through?

;( Can't get to it...I wanted so much to make a joke in your thread, Tom ;)

you should be proud, nice work.

Yeah it was made off of another image which is here:

Basically I looked at the beginning image and then used the pen tool to recreate the shapes that I saw. Most of the time I just used the pen and convert points tools, but on the really small shapes, I used the freeform pen tool. For the hubcaps, I used the ellipse tool, and then transform>distorted the circles.

I'm thinking about writing a couple Illustrator tutorials, but it will probably take a while. I'll post them here probably, since I don't have a site with tutorials.
