but seriously, this is pretty cool! i gotta ask though, are you tracing or just using a reference? also, the mirror looks odd. unless you're not done maybe? it just looks like a radial gradient. overall |

I'm changing as much of the reflections as possible to be shades of grey/chrome, ie: that chrome disk on the bottom actually was reflecting a red car. It's 'tracing' the colors-I work one section at at time at about 1200-1800% magnification then correct and improvise at about 3200-6400%.

Ok-it's been just over a month. Still have a long way to go, but it's lookin sweet so far! I put what I have into PS7 and chromed over the chrome, reducing it's opacity to 35-40% to smooth and shine it up. Sneek preview thus far:

Being an illustrator myself, I can understand the challenge this piece is, and I am So Totally Impressed with your work and willingness to share the techniques behind your art. That takes a very special person and you, my lady are da bomb! Fabu stuff....can't wait till it's done. I might even suggest you let the Harley folks see a taste. Unless you aren't in it for the bucks at all. If that is so, than I must say it's an honor to see your art in process & we are humbled!!
Hugs to you dearest demiGoddess Ng!! And many, many thanks..........

sleep?
Actually, I'm finishing up an acrylic I started in the fall, got another in sketch and a third is in my head, but that might get done before the sketched one does. I learned a lot doing this. Like.....quit earlier in the evening...and, black is not always just black. I'm actually still playing with this one a little. The next time it's printed won't be exactly the same as the last time.

I know Flyman wouldn't mind....I contacted the director of Patriot Guard Riders and offered up a print for silent auction, all proceeds to go to PGR. I have posted about this extraordinary group in GD. Hope they accept it
