Pixel Joint Forum: A car (ref)

Message

Hi there.

I have made a car from a reference, and I think its almost done, just some cleaning up left with the pixels, I'm not sure if you think its a mess but for me I can say its pretty done.

The lightsource is coming from a different angle here

	It doesn't look traced to me since the hood and side of the car looks longer in the pixel art. A darker outline and more contrast may look better since a car's a rather metallic and bold thing to do but it's your call ;p

	I dunno, a few lines are very similar to the 1/8 size of his ref: But hey, he did post the ref and all.

	Hi MiDiaN, Thank you for posting the reference. My advice would be to use some AA on the (inside of the) tires. The window-highlights can use some softer edge where the dark meets the gray. The blacks are in general need of AA. Hope this helps. Best regards from M.E.

	Don't save as GIF in paint. It messes it up like a JPEG.
