Abandoned

[choronr]

Again, experimenting with AndyWelder's tire tracks.

If it was me, I would have placed the car slightly off the path, as though it was manually pushed to it's final resting place.

Looks nice!

Good scale, good feel.
Needs more details/populations/variations.

Nice image and maybe a good idea form UI, sitting it off track. Or if you want it moving, make some exhaust smoke (black and dirty).

Thanks everyone. My thoughts here was to depict an old auto abandoned somewhere in the deep in a forest left to rust away.

choronor, the car doesn't look abondoned. Just stopped. Perhaps out of gas. I suggest you raise the bonnet, or flatten the right front tire. Or have the car collided with a tree trunk. Give the viewer a visual reason why it's abondoned. Since we can't see the gas guage, you need a more obvious visual reason for the car being abondoned. If you wanted to, you could show foot tracks leading away from the car, or car parts on the ground. Have the car off the road track to suggest that the car came to a stop due to mechnical failure. You might also use vegitation growth on the car to illustrate a long duration of the abondonment.

You can add some rust, or use the ivy generator!

I like the idea choronr. Are you going to pursue this one, or are you just trying things out?

Thanks Pat; but, I'm just an illustrator, not a magician (just kidding). Your ideas are well taken, but, I'm moving on to the next project.

Thanks Ulco, I did use the rust shader that came with this model. Apparently is doesn't show too well. I have the ivy generator but never used it ...good idea!

Thanks Badger. I'll be moving on to the next project. Each project is a learning experience for me ...I've much to go.

Illustrators *are* magicians - they just use "slight of eye".
Everything we do we learn from...unless we quit.

The craziest thing - when I read this I envisioned Dr McCoy telling Captain Kirk " Dammit Jim, I'm an illustrator, not a magician...."
