Man in car wip, could use some help

Man! your work is one kick ass heck of a pix, dude!!:beer:

Me like'em plentee!:thumbsup:

What about the vignette border looking like a fogged window that has been wiped? Much like the the fogged windshield but looking into the car from the outside?

The colors are kinda dark, making it a bit hard to see what's going on at first glance..but that could also be my monitor..

Fantastic work, I really like the style and colors!

There should be coming some light from the dashboard (paradise by the dashboard light :D ) That will make the steeringwheel clearer to see aswell.

For your vignette: howabout some brushstrokes?
Or even better: an ellips with a border and with light falling on it so the painting in it looks like it it has thickness?

Cheers, jeroentje

hey thanks guys....I was having a brain cloud moment on this... Youv'e pointed me in the right direction. Both are good suggestions and I will attempt to bring them to life I'll repost when finished. The client will probably like the more organic edged shape....The compressed file did darken up overall and it does need dashboard light. I'll try not to be too timid. Who did that song "Meat Oaf"? (chuckles at his own joke)....:)

The wiped section of the window is out perspective too..hmm

Like the notorious Dame Edna once asked him: "Good evening Mr Loaf, or may I call you Meat?"

Get the strong horizontal line of the windows away fron the eyeline of the character. It is competing with his line of sight. Also you can change the perspective of the glasses to reinforce the direction he is looking.

BTW this looks great! I hope that makes sence. E-mail me if you need anything else.

I couldn't help myself.

I draw faster than I talk sometimes.

Big, big thanks to all you art directors here who helped me tighten this down. Ya gotta love this place. If I keep going it will only get too tight and not resemble my acrylic style enough.

Marcel & the our favorite "Mod" -- thanks for the vignette ideas. I learned a bunch on this from you Kory.

In case are wondering....The story/concept behind this piece is: Fed Reserve officials get info from many sources before making changes to the economy (like interest rates) Before they drive the car, they check the maps, clean the windshield, put the car in gear etc. so they can get a better idea of the murky economic road ahead. Strange analogy but the writer used it in the story and it is the pull-out paragraph.

Compression makes this @15% darker than original..
