Cars in Vectors

i am colorblind
coffee black and egg white
pull me out from inside
i am ready i am ready i am ready i am
taffy stuck and tongue tied
stutter shook and uptight
pull me out from inside
i am ready i am ready i am ready, i am fine
i am covered in skin
no one gets to come in
pull me out from inside
i am folded and unfolded and unfolding
i am colorblind
coffee black and egg white
pull me out from inside
i am ready i am ready i am ready
i am fine i am fine i am fine

I thought this will be an easy vector work, but it ended up as the hardest to date. I have never worked in so much detail before and this is simply my best vector art so far. Mainly I did this one for the headlights and shades. Detailing headlights is always a hard job regardless of the medium you are working in, but in vectors.. seriously its one helluva hard job. Hope all the vector artists will enjoy this work.

While I was making this work, someone was waiting for it to finish more then me. While I drew this work, he constantly talked about it and If it wasnt for his pushing me and wanting to see the finished work, I wouldn’t have finished it for months. So its natural that I dedicate this work to him, and by him I mean the insanely talented vector artist ^archanN :iconarchann: It was him who contacted me a month back when he saw my Mercedes SLR vector portrait and we have been in contact ever since. He usually calls up while going and coming from work and we talk about art, DA and artists here for hours. I really enjoy talking to a mind like mine and somebody who values art and humanity attached with it. This work is totally for you dude..!! You earned it….

I was five and he was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
He wore black and I wore white
He would always win the fight

Seasons came and changed the time
When I grew up, I called him mine
He would always laugh and say
“Remember when we used to play?”

Music played, and people sang
Just for me, the church bells rang.

Now he’s gone, I don’t know why
And till this day, sometimes I cry
He didn’t even say goodbye
He didn’t take the time to lie.

Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down…

After completing Volvo i planned to submit my pencil portraits which are in the waiting for 4-6 months now. But i saw this beauty and couldnt stop myself from drawing it in Flash. I worked extra hours last night, so that i cold submit it today and here she is. Now im going back to my pencil portraits and later im planning to submit some works in Photoshop.

This work is totally dedicated to my new friend opheila. She is one of very few talented girls i know, who are good in digital art. Her gallery displays some extreme works in digital art and im a huge fan of her skills. Besides, she is fun to talk to and though it hasnt been long that we have met, but we talk like insane people.

Shadows in the moonlight
dancing on your porch, white
Willows, they bent in deep night
that summer when I met you.

Work was our common ground
Your words first brought me around
You were strong and sleek
I was strong and round
that summer when I met you.

The days come and go
The road’s so long I know
but the journey is so inviting.

Who knew what we’d go through?
Years later, I’m still in love with you
You’re changing, I’m changing too
The one I want is you.

Shadows in the moonlight
dancing on your porch, white
Willows, they bent in deep night
that summer when I met you,
the summer I met you
who knew?

This work came without any plans. I just thought of practicing my skills at Vectors and randomly picked a car which I thought will be easy to finish. Two days of labor on Adobe Macromedia Flash and a lil harder then an easy job and here is the result. Frankly speaking I never imagined that she will come out so good. Funny thing is that I didn’t even notice which car it was… now I guess it is Merc SLR. Whatever, im loving vectors.

This work is dedicated to sanpaiya We are not really the best buddies, but have been in acquaintance for a number of months now. The reason of this dedication is my appreciation of his art. Im a huge fan of his art, especially of his digital works which look like traditional paintings. The thematic values, the touch up and every nook and cranny of his deviations are top notch. My style is completely different from his, yet I adore his skills and style.

AFTERTHOUGHT: Me and my borrowed quotes.

Gripping the wheel his knuckles went white with desire.
The wheels of his Mustang exploding on the highway like a slug from a .45
True Death: 400 Horsepower of maximum performance piercing the night
This is Black Sunshine.

Yeah! Move me in the silence baltic motorway
Hang me on the edge before I fall away
Apocalypse is dawnin’ action on the mile
A ‘can-do’ revolution, earth to the river
Sweet’n the ride Black Sunshine
Sweet’n the ride, yeah!
Sweet’n the ride Black Sunshine
Sweet’n the ride, yeah!

A perfect song, for a perfect car.. Thanks to =Line-of-Birds for suggesting it. Here she is.. the same beauty but drawn in vectors. I drew her in Macromedia Flash 8, and im yet to learn the way to blend the gradients. Somehow I managed to finish her with a descent look. This is my first full fledged digital work, which took quite sometime to finish. Wonder how you people will take me in this field. Nonetheless next is 3D…. and no.. i have no tablet or digital pen, just a crappy, lousy optical mouse.

I actually waited for this day when Ill dedicate this work to the artist whose works have actually inspired me draw cars in vectors. His art is flawless and he is the master of vectors and to master his abilities is next to impossible. Ive spent quite sometime in trying to understand the flow of his works, to understand how the gradients flow… still im far from understanding how he comes out with such neat radial gradients. Perfect..!! Im talking about none other then CRWPitman I simply take him as my teacher in vectors, just as I take *Tunaferit in pencils. This one goes to you sire…

AFTERTHOUGHT: With ten thousand dollars, we can be millionaires
