Thank you! That was a great game; never some vaguely poligonal shapes in the screen have been so scary...

This is awesome! Reminds me of the original Alone in the Dark, released in 1992. Great job.

An impressively shaded car! Kudos!

Thank you very much for your careful response, I really appreciate the time you took to answer and all of the advice!

I see how a few changes make an ostensible improvement of the picture; I did not pay much attention to perspective and that was obviously an error. Now I am working on a Citroen 2cv and I will try to improve. Lets see how it looks in the end!

Hey this is a very cool piece! I'm really into classic cars, so I'm enjoying this Packard a lot (no I didn't know that, had to look it up. I'm not very good with pre-war cars ;)

As Mandrill already mentioned, there are a couple of issues with the perspective and incorrect observations of the reference car's line flow and proportions. Since I enjoyed your picture it so much, I decided to make an edit  - I hope you don't mind. Here's the edit (it's not perfect either but should be a bit closer to the original):

I've added the red lines to better show how the car "sits"  in the perspective. The yellow lines highlight some of the shapes and relations of individual parts to another on the car. For example, the hood is actually a lot more curved - in your version, it looked rather flat due to the placement of the shading and hightlights. Also, the highest point of the fender should actually be in a straight line above the center of the wheel. The wheels themselves were a little too wide, car tyres back then were really skinny. Perspective-wise, you've shown way too much of the car's roof, you can't actually see that much of it on the photo.

I hope this helps a little, and keep on doing more stuff like that! I really enjoyed all those historic pieces you've got in your gallery.

Nice piece, I escpacially like the preview. :)

The perspective is a tiny bit off here and there but still very well drawn overall.
