    That's insane! That definitely would've sent me to a padded room. Nice job, maybe a little more contrast would help the overall effect

    From personal experience mono-chromatic illustrations can really be difficult. Getting enough contrast so that the components are distinguishable from one another is a big challenge and can really chew up time.

    How did you accomplish the color change of your last image so quickly?

    An observation. Is the fanbelt metallic or is it made of a "rubber" like material? If the later, then would it be so reflective or would it have a "flat" finish?

    Great job.

    P.S. I visited the area around Graz a long time ago (you are lucky to live in such a beautiful area of the world). Many fond memories of annual treks driving through Austria to Ljubljana, Italy, etc.

    Hello John!
    At first thank you very much, you are right, what you mean with the fanbelt, it made of rupper,i changed the color on it in the xar. file, hope it’s right now. but the color in the Image, like what Steve said, more Contrast, i chananged the color and the Contrast only for the JPEG Image as Bitmap in Xara X:
    P.S You are right, our City Graz is the Culture City of Europe now.
    Thanks...

    really nice work.

    I like the more tightly finishe last image but I like the coloration of the first image, looks more like it's reflective of something else around it. I do think the belt is better in the last one too!!

    Can't wait to see the finished project!!
