A little digital photoshop FB art I did

This took FOREVER to do. What do you guys think about it? I might redo the tails, I don't like their color flatness, I need to put in some color distortion to replicate internal reflection, but as is, what do you think?



I also want to d some sky work, and add some grasslike textures, but that's going to be tedious. And I may or may not do it someday. for now, I just want you to focus on the car.

No, I turned it off because antialiasing makes the pixel by pixel work hard as can be. Yes I could get a better product out of it, but, it makes doing areas like the wheels suck, because if I want one black pixel, I get a black pixel surrounded by a 3 by 3 square of gray pixels, and if I want one black pixel, one pixel away from the first black pixel, I get a 6 by 3 gray rectangle, with 2 black dots and a dark band down the middle where the two grays intersect. I'd rather manually soften it and such. I did use a lot of gradients to smooth it out, like on the upper inner portion of the wheel lips.

I also need to make the different shades of white on the car more extreme of differences. The fender flares, side with he door, rocker panel, rear bumper downward slant, are above tails, roof, and rear deck are all different whites, nut it kind of blurs together too much... When doing pixel by pixel work at 600% you can tell the difference but looking at it now, I need to rework some things.

Wow gorgeous. Some parts of the car are perfect looking and others look a little attention deprived, my advice was to make it all look perfect, lol.

It's my 83 GSL, I need to do the B-pillar badging.

Yeah @ Super82, there are parts of the FB that are just plain detail void, but I can still tweak and redo a lot of small things. The more time I spend on it, the better it looks. I am going to keep playing with it.

I've done these before in the past, and I made a huge mistake editing a picture that was 800 by 600 pixels rather than starting with something closer to 3,000 by 1600 pixels and then resizing. IF I start with a larger image it comes out like this one I did in the past.(this was my room mate's 240SX)



The image loses it's thick blockyness when sized down, also starting with a white car like I did makes it hard, but I wanted to do one of MY car.

Here are all of the ones I've done:
