Is this hand drawned and vectorized or you just trace line by line in illustrator??

Thanks!
Neither. I just directly start clicking in anchorpoints in the right spot and pull the curves out of them with the “Convert Direction Point Tool”. No sketches, no drawing. All mouse. Fastest way to do this.

Har har har har, it´s great! Love that instructions man! Lol, The steps are so clearly explained that i´m thinking on trying it at home!
I love how you show where the different parts are from and how to attach them.
And the operating instructions made me fall (yes again) of my chair. Maybe it´d look more as an engeneer plane with a blue background and white lines, as blueprints.

Man I hate it how much gets lost in the JPEG conversion to stay under 59k… I could host a higher res at Lycos maybe.
Anyway, not sure if I prefer the crop or this one, it’s late and my judgement is not very clear:

Oh and the wood, cigarette and pen are retouched real life scans, just for a nicer presentation

Bwahahahahaha … gasps for air … hahahahaha
jeroentje, that’s a hilarious piece. I love the instruction page, satellite photo and sticky note. It makes it all very believable, like you can go out and build one of these devices and it would work as displayed. Excellent work!

Thanks for all the nice words people
@Kirt
I have to admit that I actually tried something simmilar this summer. I got a rocket made from a Coca Cola PET-bottle (mean that soft type of platic) about 15 meters up in the sky. Same construction, but without a pilot. So I even did a test flight of a scale prototype for my design.

cropped in is definitely better, and the memo is too funny great stuff. I love how you put all of this together, and mixed painting with vector and photo manipulation all in one project. great stuff, you got my vote me thinks (never know what someone may come out of nowhere with and surprise us all.)
Oh and if you need someone to host a pic, just PM or email me, I got the space

Yeah, I think I will go for the cropped.
He thanks a lot 4 the hosting place I’ll PM you when I decided what will be my final.
I also see we have till sept. 6 for the deadline and I have about 20 concepts laying around… so ehm…

Oh NOOOOO, I just tuned in into the 2d thread again, and, oh oh, our ideas are going to be quite similar jeroentje:sad: 
I hope you don’t mind. I am in the process of creating a technical layout for my trash heap that I will lay out as a technical diagram to be constructed too.
Well, the ideas will be similar, but the content will be vastly different of course:)
Well, that aside, hey, it’s looking top notch. My only critique is, the cropped version with the blue picture of the man looks wierd because it does not look like its on a piece of paper. It would need some more white glazes so that it looks like a plastic sheet. Anyways, with two weeks left, this one is going to look GREAT!! Keep it up!

He Apt pupil, thanks and I will look at it.
About you doing a drawing of a drawing aswell; okay, a lot of people have joined this challenge. We have 2 people modelling a flying toilet aswell… so… I don’t think it is that simmilar :shrug: So who cares?
