Another car project: 1967 Chevrolet Camaro. Work in progress.

The drawing itself is quite handsome. Can't wait to see the finish.
this is what I'm doing right now in XPGD7 - making palettes for the mouse and co.... if it looks a bit hgigled thats because they are not positioned yet and the tag numbers and hex are on seperate layers but all soft grouped so they can be moved together but switched in and out independantly so at the moment they overlaps ...
I've been giving www.custom-stereograms.com a makeover including this linked graphic that goes to the gallery. I replaced about 80% of the stereograms with new images.
I feel like now I have too much time on my hands. :rolleyes:
I like that image Gary and your site is looking good.
I like that one a lot Gary.
Should it stay as 5 separate images or merge into one?
Maybe over at Xara Xone they have something for you to do... ;))Quote:

Five separate images but the images in the center will be more centered.Quote:

This is an easy stereogram to create because it uses spacing to achieve the depth.
Nah, I think that's just your legacy that keeps on popping up...Quote:

My wife is throwing a 70th birthday party for me next month and asked what I wanted to serve our guests. Well my favorite food in the whole world is a Costco hot dog. So that is what I requested. I'm easy. And cheap.
So I created an image Mary can send out for the invitation.
The photo is from a Google Images search and since it is not a commercial use, I am not violating any body's copyrights. Too much.
For the Mustard Script, I used a free font from daFont.com called Noodle Script. I added a 4pt outline, and an Intestine Stroke Shape. Then a bit of this and a bit of that.
cool image, cool party, cool birthday, cool mustard, just all-round coolness :cool:
OK I got ahead of myself. My hot dogs needed sweet pickle relish. I created a custom brush for the relish and now I offer it to you for free. It's my birthday and you get the gift! :)
As long as the XAR file is open you can access the custom brush in the Line Gallery > New Brush Strokes folder. Select an outline or open path, change the size to about 24pt and then apply the brush.
Yummy,
But wait,where's the sauerkraut,chili-sauce or even the fried onions??
Maybe that's just a European/Dutch thing. ;)
But I think your birthday approach is just the way we know you.
Down2earth and enjoying the simpler things in life. :salute:
Oh and I like the picture too :D

I have been asked to design a banner for our church. This is still a work in progress.
I have to keep it simple because it will be assembled from pieces of fabric cutout.
At this point it has been a rush job and I know there needs much to be done probably moving the elements a little.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Larry - The design is good. If the text is going to be a part of the design maybe find a less contemporary typeface. Some of the hand lettered fonts might be softer and less intrusive.
Also from a design point of view, the top and bottom elements are of equal importance. I would make the bottom area smaller and maybe increase the top objects. ( I realize that Jesus is not an object as such, but I am referring to the figure as an object).
Thanks for the feedback Gary. Here is the newest, is it better?
I made quite a few changes, hope I didn't goof something up in the process.
The wooden pieces are merely there to show what it might look like. I know I didn't do a real great job on those especially on the ball ends and I'm not sure what it would really look like with the horizontal and vertical elements joined together. So I just did it this way. This type face is softer and I like it but they liked the other one because of it's visibility.
