"Fixing"

canadiandriver · 07-11-2006, 01:07 AM

So, in trying to figure out how to use the pen tool, I thought I'd also try to fix the new Chrysler Sebring, which I think looks like a K-Car that failed Jenny Craig. What do you think? It's my first chop using the pen, and the most brushing I've ever done.

Cheers.

Yeah...thanks. Now that I look at it again I think you're right.

Mod -- I hate to do this as it's probably a pain in the butt, but is it possible for you to move this thread to "Chops in Progress" as I think I'll go back to the drawing board a bit?

i like those foglight thingies

I think the antenna needs to have the right shade of background around it. That is what drew my eye the most.

i think if ur gonna make it a roadster style ride(which is a cool idea)get rid of the little window right at the back...just an idea

The foglamp things look as if they are floating.

hey man looks good, looks like you're starting to get the hang of brushing. one tip: feather your selections- it will get rid of the really jagged edges.

Those are all excellent comments...I'll try to incorporate them and do an update later in the week.

Thanks!

OK, so here's the revised chop of the Sebring so far. I appreciate everyone's comments; please let me know what you think now.

I've seen the phrase "the devil is in the details" written in here before... :-)

reminds me of the Chrysler AirFlow ....it stil lacks something design wise.

I dunno what but I do agree with you, the original is terrible.

I read on Jalopnik that the Sebring was supposed to be based on the Airflow...I guess that was before the bean-counters stepped in. The AirFlow is pretty cool.

Anyways, I tried to add "something" to the design to make it a big more dynamic (and to try more brushing...it's nice to refine and get comments and refine some more...)

I've brushed new SLR-type side gills, added some c&p rocker panels and lights from an Audi Q7 (warped).

What do you think of the new version?
