Woah. Awesome as always. It's like art.

The only flaw I can see is that on the bottom of the doorline, it looks real dirty, but otherwise, 👍 👍.

 

[Vonie]

Ooohhhh...pretty colors.
It's nice, BJC. The wheel, though, looks a bit weird.

 

[R32mania]

excellent work on the viper man..

that bimmer pic will surely get high grades on my art class... it really looks great..i like those combination of colors you used.. 👍

 

[wrxrex]

Nice effect witht the viper it actually looks like its rain one thing i think that this game is missing a rainy race but anyway top work:tup:

 

[bjc-3000]

Thanks for the criticism! I reworked the pic. As Vonie suggested I edited the wheel as I used wrong blending modes and inaccurate selection in the original. Then I tried to smooth the lower doorline and some other small patches but I´m not that good at smudging. I think I need a trawing tablet next... Thanks all for the nice comments. 👍

Prost!

Just use a little BLUR BRUSH

 

[bjc-3000]

Yes, but sometimes the lines have bends in them, instead beeing realisticly curved. These bends cannot be smoothed out by the blur brush (AFAIK )
For cleaning normal jaggies you´re absolutely right!

Prost!

 

[G-T-4-Fan]

Well thats pretty simple.
When you have, for example a wheel arch that isn't round at all, but has little sharp tips on it, then you could just move some paint in front of that tip OVER it. So you just drag the paint to where it belonged.

Lots of times I just went over a line but that made it even worse than it was before...

Do you have the original?

 

[FaLLeNAn9eL]

the colors on that 5 series are beautiful! i agree that the rims look a bit strange but none-the-less its amazing 👍

 

[DuckRacer]

Looks a lot better now. 👍

 

[Master_Yoda]

Nice feedback guys... thanks again! JMX, I appreciate your comment. I hope you saw that I voted for your Superbird and Vette pic.

I don´t have much time these days, so here´s just one quick pic. It could have been cleaned better, but I hope it´s colourful enough. Master_Yoda: I think I got a solution to make the wheels blurred and sharp at the same time to meet your taste as well as mine...

​

Prost!

Edit: reworked and reposted the pic

YEAH! I know just use the blur brush, and make the wheel look like its spinning it should give a nice clean smooth, yet fast feel to it.

And your BMW is teh sex!!!!

Do you have the original?

That method I use quite often, but just as you said, sometimes it just looks worse afterwards... And even with a precise mouse it sometimes is difficult to draw a nice curve, that´s why I´m thinking of buying a graphics tablet. Wanted to have one since a long time...
And yes, I sure have the original. Thanks for the conversation and the hint with the blur brush.

Master_Yoda: I wanted to give the wheels the motion blur, but also wanted to show details of the rims. It looks a little weird, but still nice IMHO, and I think it´s a good compromise. Just imagine the pic would have been taken with a long exposure plus a short flash.

Duck: Thanks for the hint again!

FaLLeNAn9eL: Thank You!

Prost guys!

​

I made a lucky choice with that one. The pic was in no way intended to look like this, but in the end I thought it´s nice.

Prost!

 

[Vonie]

Pretty cool, interesting blur & great colors.
The wheels are a bit odd, though.

 

[bjc-3000]

Thanks for the input, Vonie. Do you mean the transparent parts of the wheels? Or the colour, or just the rims?
As said already, the pic was kind of an accident, that´s why I didn´t want to do too much additional editing to make it look like real.

Prost!

 

[Vonie]

I meant the choice of wheel.

 

[bjc-3000]

Ok, thanks for the clarification. You´ll be glad if I tell you that I removed the wing before shooting the pics.

Prost!

 

[Dick Steel]

Very nice pic, I like the colors. keep them coming 👍

 

[Lord Nicon]

The BMW has really nice colors. The complementaries work well together.

The alfa pic it pretty different. I like how it looks like its on black photo mount board. It also looks like you radial (zoom) blurred everything surrounding the front of the car. Its oddly different but it seems to work.

Keep em crankin.

BTW, thanks for stopping by the gallery

 

[nickysereia]

AWESOME PICS!!! u do a great job. congratilations!!! I love the BMW

 

[Pebb]

I love the style a lot, because it looks like a majestic kind of shot.

 

[Dead_Poetic]
