Wow, the details are impressive, gets a '1' from me, for it's artistic merit.

#19, pardon my ignorance, but how do you "cel-shade" cars? I'm pretty experienced in photoshop 7.

trace the lines, then fill in basicly

#25, I am too. I tried cell-shading a Superbird I saw at a car show, and I got ALL the lines drawn, and I went to fill them in and it didn't fill them up all the way to the edge of the line. It's hard to explain, there was like a one-pixel-wide line between my black outline and the color. It sucked. So, I'm stumped on how to do it.

#27, First, make sure you draw all your lines in a new layer; this makes life a lot easier. When you are done drawing all your lines, turn off antialiasing and draw a one-pixel-thick "cross" somewhere in the white space on your picture. Now copy that layer into a new image.

Reduce the number of colors in the new image down to two; now you've got a sharp black/white linemap. Copy and paste this as a new/transparent layer into your original image and use the "cross" you drew earlier to help register it properly (line up the crosses). Now turn off the layer with your original smooth lines.

Create a new layer to contain your colors. If your photo editor works like Paint Shop, you can get the region selector to work in a "sample merged" mode, which will allow you to use the line layer to set your borders. From there on out, it's pretty much a case of selecting a color, using the magic wand (or equivalent) to select a region to fill*, filling it with the paintbrush (I don't recommend

#28, using flood-fill), and repeating until you have all your colors filled in. Once you're done with that, delete the "rough" line layer, turn on the smooth one, and turn the background off. If there are any gaps, create a new layer of color behind the old one, choose the appropriate colors, and fill the gaps.

*If you are using Paint Shop Pro, you may want to tell the region-select tool to "feather" the edges.

If your image editor supports layering, USE IT. Don't put your lines, colors, and the original image in the same layer--as I explained above, you should have separate layers for each of them. The process I just outlined is pretty much how I do it, including the "trick" I use to get nice fills. It's still incredibly tedious, though, and I might get Illustrator soon (which will allow me to bypass that whole problem altogether).

#30, thanks for the info. How long did it take to complete the RX7?

#31, I did it in a few different sittings, but maybe ~5h total?

edit: There's a little more detail that can be seen in the whole 1600x1200 image that I don't have a means to post.

#33, Yeah, there's no real way to do this stuff quickly. I mean, if you're shooting for a very low detail level and have a decent tool like Photoshop or something, you can crank out a low-detailed one in a couple hours. But if you're stuck with a crappy tool or are trying to capture good detail, it takes FOREVER.

#38, Seen it before. It's nice that it can automatically do stuff like that, but oh well.
