Ai : " Merry Christmas & Happy new year, dad !"

* She sent her regard to her father, Mr. McRae.... in Heaven :(

some of you probably already know that the legendary british rally driver Colin McRae just passed away last september [link]

this is my tribute to Mcrae's :)

aswell as a contest entry for original character contest :D : [link]

Ai M. Mcrae (17 years old), Mcrae's daughter (fictive), a rich, spoiled, smart, and a reckless street racer :D. which mean this character was built not based on any movie or manga :). just a fantasy of Mcrae's big fans :D ^^;

I love both the girl and the evo, regardless this is not a vehicular drawing contest, I put all effort to paint the evo. uses screenshot from granturismo 4 and random evo 9 photos for reference. uses a background image from my earlier work [link] for making the "fake" HDR image reflected on the car window and body.
all done in Photoshop + Painter X + Tablet in 60 hours...maybe more :XD:


*ref pics for the evo : [link]

*UPDATE : congratz to *AliTheBandit who won the 1st place in manga/anime category with his entry : [link]

I really love this character.
Your coloring and everything was already so great, but you just keep improving.
You're awesome. :D

thanks for loving her :D
well, it's not so great coloring if you see it from the original resolution : [link] (cropped) I just don't have much time left for the cleaning job :D

I work it on a large canvas (4000 pixel wide)
heheh, and now you found out my little secret, i believe you can do it too :)

That is EXCELLENT!! You did wonderfully on the car, and I even love the touch of the skewed reflection in the window!! Great job! :D

I'm not sure which I like more: the car, or your character. There's both so well-drawn! ><

Good luck for the contest, not that you need it!

Excellent work! Your effort sure shows. :D You finished with minutes to spare, but I don't know if you were the last. :D I think there were others cutting it closer. :giggle: I submited with a mere 2 hours to spare, so, I was thankful.

Tribute work deserves a nod. :thanks: To our dead heros! :w00t:

I'm working on a cyberpunk manga. Come see my works in progress! :nod: [link]

Heheh, that's close to what I do. 300 px/inch on a massive canvas. I shink it when it's done, and ta-da! Cleanliness looking. :D Of course, there's only two of my big pieces I've done that with. I only recently got a computer that won't spit and die when I crank up the heat on PS. :giggle:

Ha, nice.
I've been making my canvases larger lately, because I know that works great, but I just haven't been making it big enough.
I have some little kid thought that that's too big or something. xD
Thanks. :D

thank you, Ms. Ameko :D
but knowing how you liked the car "too much" this would mean a downfall for a character's charm competition ^^;

that's exactly my thought. think how the background object has become way too flashy catchy, the character's appeal really stands behind. so i guess the car itself has become a huge pitfall for the judgement. but still, I can't bear the thought of having the evo's butt being sliced and cropped :D

thank you, and good luck to you too
