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 Ref: http://img452.imageshack.us/img452/7741/bmwwhp8ny5.jpg Warning: Very large image. |

| 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 |

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. ------------- http://www.kunststukken.nl - KunstStukken.nl M.E. Art |

Don't save as GIF in paint. It messes it up like a JPEG. ------------- "A little pain never hurt anyone." - Blueberry_Pie |
