    My 1. big image , completely done with XaraX. Don't know how much time it took to draw those 1300 objects , cause I'm allways working on a bunch of images parallel .
    The main difficult for me was the non-usage of bitmaps and textures , also to make the scene don't look to clean .

    Hi Jay,

    I like the '59 chevy Impala and the entire drawing. The .jpg artifacts take their toll, but over all I like it.

    Very nice image and skillfully done, Jay. I remember the old yellow and black California license plates too. Although the backdrop looks like New Mexico or Arizona. The driver of the Impally must have been on a vacation.

    Gary,

    It could also be highway 395 on the East side of Mt. Lassen.

    I could have sworn while scrolling down past your image that I saw the right red car light flash! Anyway, I love the image, the car is very well done and everything around it. The chrome is the part I like the most, very real looking! The clouds have a nice effect also. The only thing I could critic on is the background and road, they're kind of a little too blurry, makes the image look a little messy, but not taking away from the beauty of it in the least! Great job [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

    Grahma had a '59 Chevy (before that nothing but Buicks). IMHO the fins of the '59 are much better than the 1960.

    Jay,

    simply great. You should have used real textures to compliment the detail of the car.
