:'( 404 Palette not found.

``5 Images required, each 60 x 60
``You must pixel 5 computer desktop-style icons: a computer icon, an e-mail icon, a trashcan icon, an internet icon, and a music icon.

Possibly not in the original size:


Would be nice to edit the original post, so all past links keep giving direct access to the palettes.

4 out of 6 palettes in the first post have dissappeared. Can a mod do anything about it?  ???

Tourist's edit looks much lighter than the original, probably because of a similar strange issue I have with this piece: when I download it, it does look lighter than in the browser.
NDChristie's edit is not affected in this way, and I've never seen this behavior in pixels before.
No idea about either cause or fix.

Concentration of purest high-grade awesomeness. I'm drooling all over the place.

Jad.
How do you do that.  0.0

It kinda looks like a pair of dots though, rather than a reflection.

Because they contradict the gradient: highlights say light source is from up left and back, gradient says low front right.

It could use some wheels and rails, it's not really readable as a train so far.
The dithering on metal is far too even, try to give it some texture. Also it conflicts with perspective on the top.
Light is a bit inconsistent: hard cast shadows but soft highlights.

Nothing to be ashamed of though!  :)

I think you can go further into the rounder looks, compared with those refs you posted on PJ. I'm sure this must be incredibly difficult to get right in iso.

The right fender (cars') disappears completely in the 'almost-iso' photograph. The bumper is more curved. The back is much more plunging (in the side view), which is a distinctive feature of Saabs.
The windshield corners are more rounded too.

Input on how to improve curvature using shading is still welcomed.

To be honest I didn't have very specific ideas about that! ;)
Looking harder, I can see at least one point: those lines (shades and reflections) you have on the side are very straight. On the 'iso' photo they help a lot to define the softer volumes. Same thing tor that dark shade on the left (cars') side of the roof, it's too close to the side and gives a feeling of a flatter roof than it is.

the chef thing in the background needs to be more visible.

I hadn't even seen him yet.  :lol:
Either isolate him more with dark brown all around, or highlight him, or outline him with highlight, or all of these.

You have some inspiring undertakings.  ::)


Your version looks more squarish than the actual car:

Maybe it's on purpose, since I see some of that in the Westminster too (no ref checked there though).
It's not the easiest thing to pixel anyway, and shading will help I'm sure.

It's mostly a problem with front and back fenders.

There is also a persp issue with the grille: it looks slightly to the right of the car's front middle.


I still don't know how to link text without the whole url appearing.  :(
