Description Car #6 of the Supercars Series Poster, the big final one! No wait, *sits in a corner and cries* I can't believe I actually managed to do this car. So, the poster series has come to an end. On to the technical specs (umm, yeah) :

Adobe Illustrator 10
Roughly 6-7 hours of work

Best part : This car is verrrrrrrry special. Why? Because 95% of it was scratch made. The only reference picture I have, was of a 1:18 scale model of the car. This car also sits at a perfect (well, maybe .4% difference) symetrical angle.



Finally, I'd like to wish a BIG thank you to everyone who supported me and gave me pointers and noted me of my mistakes. Your messages have been taken into notice and I will definitely improve them on the final piece.

Thank you!

Sure, all 6 of them?

Will a 1600x1200 wallpaper do? I could try to do it. If you want any other sizes (please specify) I'll try my best.

says : You've been a good boy (?), bah, a good person lately, and you shall receive a 1:18 scale model of the car in your mailbox. That's because no one wants to sell their McLarens! :tear:

at long last, congrats for the completion of your poster series.

OMG. You almost gave me a heart attack when I read those lines "hm, i've spotted a huge mistake,"

Oh yea, in fact that's what I want to do. Send them to a print shop and I'll have a cool poster of cars which I'll never able to buy. Thanks for the comment!

One more thing, the lights seem a bit dull. Add a reflection or something small to lighten them up.

Exactly what I was thinking.

camila-croft [2003-12-22 19:30:03 +0000 UTC]

JEEESUS!! A yellow gaaaar aaaaaaaaaah!!!
Man I'm addicted to yellow cars *__*!!!

Again a great work!
But one point: maybe there could be some highlight areas, like...things that shine you know? So then it+shadows would make it looks 3D like.

Well, just my opinion as always!!

I'm doing a girl to be with your car...let's see if it works

under18carbon In reply to camila-croft [2003-12-24 07:24:38 +0000 UTC]

Haha! I like certain cars in yellow colour, though some tend to look a bit ugly.

Again, suggestion noted . Don't get mad at me if I don't really get the whole thing to look right...! I'm trying to make this as niceeeee as posibble, see how things turn out.. *shivers*

Ahh! Cool, so you've started work on it? I'm really excited to see how it'll turn out... *gets all excited*

Thank you sweetie!

Lol, it took me a few tries to figure out and tame the mighty pen tool! *EEK*

All I can say now, is practice using Illustrator. I'd be glad to help you, just note me, before that I'll tell you something though. I suck at explaining things sometimes, so bear with me. Thanks for the comment!
