Nice crome!
the contrast and the perspective are good

if you want a better image work in the background.

Best looking art chrome I've yet to see in my 40 years in the business. It's as good as a lighter photographed on a seamless white background; actually, better yet, because there are no surface scratches to contend with. How much would you charge an advertising agency for this art?

Damian,

The chrome looks great - very polished and shiny indeed. Wow, Xara LX is really coming along...

It feels like it was just yesterday that Xara announced the initiative...

Thx for a good word.

To DONMAC:
This is my third vector drawing EVER (all 3 posted here). So, with this experience, I don't think there is an agency that would ask me for any art

Show them that, and you might be surprised! That is a fantastic pic. In fact, I originally thought it was a photo, and not a drawing. Excellent.

Excellent. I'm glad my zippo illustration is not posted here

Have no worries Gary Zippo is usually brushed steel for the peasant..chrome lighters are for the rich and famous...more zippos than chrome ones flying around.

It's not a matter of money

It's just because chromed lighters can't be carried in the pocket. They are covered with sctarches after one day of using.

I'd like to see your other work, can you post a link? Also, is it possible to give us some hints as to how this was done??? I ask in all humility, as you can just say no, or say nothing.

Take care
