I'm not too good with describing what is wrong so I made an edit, I was going to do more but I didn't get chance to. I also haven't added any new colours.

The main part I editted were the alloys, they just seemed dull and boring, so I added a highlight and some AA too. They could still do with some work, but the general gist is there. I slightly editted the side and front aswell. On the front, I noticed you tried to smooth the transition of the lighter tone with the darker tone. I didn't think this was really necessary so I removed that.



Hope that helps you out. Nice job by the way  :)

the metal strip above the wheel should be a tad darker.

hiya esker, cheers for the paintover. I like your alloys more! The shading on the tyres doesn't work out though, the arches go over the tyres and the car is lit from the top not left. Not sure why you cut some pixels from the hood line, get good with describing and tell me! :)

helloimpoor: you mean the wheel arch?

This car is called the elysion. I've two more cars in the same series to make so your comments and paintovers are very welcome!

Is this the car?   ;D

After looking at the proper pictures of the car I can see what you mean about the bonnet now, I thought it looked kinda weird with the bonnet like that in your pixel work but the actual car has a weird looking bonnet heh so you can ignore that edit :P

The main thing were the alloys anyway the rest was fine.

The car he drew is this one.
I think the headlights are too light.
In the image they're more of a black then a grey.

I know, that pic I posted is a toy based off the car... Somewhat :P



Don't think the tyres need much if any highlighting.

From seeing that picture I can tell that the side skirts look a bit flat to me.
The grill that shows in your image is simply a flat square where as here it's indented.

ah yes one of the main problems with these honda people carriers is that they offer so many varations. I have the brochure here and it offers 3 different types of wheels, about 8 different bodies.

I didn't use any of the googled images posted here :) I have to use a specific one from the brochure.

Mugen is a tuning and parts company, what you see there is a tuned version with some minor body alterations. This people carrier is the top of thier range, kinda expensive!

This is fucking iron; I really love the immature techniques you used.

First thing I noticed was the pillow shading on the shimmering above the back tire; I would just take the shimmer down one color or darken the shade. Its just standing out way too much right now; it looks like a graphic. I would also mess with the levels of your entire pallete, because its very full, especially compared to the reference. I also think you could do a lot better on the windows.

I love the fact that you don't apply anti-alias to some places to create hard edges; I love how you aren't a whore over pixelling techniques and are pixelling as if the world of pixel art is a void. I think I love you!

Haha, no. Beautiful job. :)

EDIT: Oh, and I love the family, except dad's shirt; I think it would benefit without the dithering.
