I was just about to post the same thing. Z enthusiasts unite!


Also, adamfilip, I don't know much about digital design... Okay, okay, I don't know anything about digital design, but that pic looks really good!

you did that in illustrator?!?! WOW! good work mate.

Do an Acura RSX. Just got one and I love it :D

[idea_hamster]

Dude! That Subaru is great -- you should definately re-do it!

I love World Rally Championship racing and was really pleased that in NYC we can get coverage on the "Speed" network.

Have you had any of your stuff in Mac Design magazine's monthly gallery? This is certainly on par with or better than the stuff that appears there regularly.

World Rally, baby!

[MrMacMan]

That is really damn good


A nice rendering, but don't pimp it Out, I don't like Rice Cars.


Great Drawing.

[adamfilip]

i dont know if i could do the suby again.. it was devistating to loose it.. and you wouldnt believe how long it took me to get those headlights! done.

ill try the Z its cool and compared the subaru.. seems like a piece of cake

and submitting it would be great. id love to get some of my work published.

Do some other car, art can not be replaced not even by the same artist, you will be disapointed.

Do another car but make a back up this time.

Very good work.

It's much more beautiful in person. ;)

Very nice...better than anything I could do. I've got a lot of respect for people who have the talent and patience to create that sort of thing.

[Abstract]

I am always fascinated by how people create such beautiful things with simple programs that many people have. How did you create it? I mean, did you just draw a few straight lines, a few curved lines, and somehow draw the headlights through magic? I just don't understand "how" you can do that!!

PS: I like your work. ;)

[adamfilip]

thank you very very much :) im overwhealmed with such a positive response.

in regards to how.

lots of lines.. lots of transparency and bluring and lots and lots of layers.

You can send your images to Mac Design Magazine through their web site (http://www.macdesignonline.com/) -- just go to the "Gallery" section (nav. bar on left) and the e-mail link is at the top.

Right now the Gallery is showing images submitted for the "Crabby" awards which were given out at Mac Design's conference in Chicago, but all the other issues (7 per year, I think) have a gallery of images created and submitted by readers.

I didn't see a "gallery archive" on the web, but as a subscriber to the paper mag, I can say that the finished image you posted above is definately the kind of thing they'll print. They commonly include at least one auto image, so you'd certainly be in consideration.

(Oh, and in the photos from the Scott Kelby talk at the NYC Soho Apple Store, somewhere in the first photo is...Dun-dun-DUUUN...the idea_hamster!)
